English Tutor Crafers West, SA
Allow the student to progress without barriers. The tutor should be able to pinpoint aspects of the student's work that require more focus. Keep the information tailored to this focus. I listen to the students and cater to their needs. I have a more complete understanding of my fields than most others do. I organise my tutoring and teaching…

English Tutor Athelstone, SA
I think the most important thing a tutor can be is patient and supportive. As tutors, we have already completed these subjects, and so we know the 'pressure points' and ways to deal with them. It is our job to pass on this knowledge and help others. If someone is receiving tutoring, most often they are struggling with one or more parts of a topic…

English Tutor Hectorville, SA
I think it’s important for students to find a study strategy that works for them. I think it's important for a tutor to introduce different strategies and methods to their students. Moreover, the overall focus should be on helping students understand how and why things work, rather than relying solely on memorising formulas or definitions. I’m…

English Tutor Tranmere, SA
I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to give them the skills to be confident in their own learning. I have seen first hand that for a student, struggling at school is not only academically unadvisable, but can cause great anxiety and difficulty at school. Some skills come easier to some students than others, and there…

Alex is a natural teacher. He has a particular knack of being able to explain things in many different ways until the student gets it! He does this in a kind and caring way, building the students confidence.

Inside Basket RangeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Jack focused on fraction addition and subtraction with common denominators, then moved on to simplifying mixed number fractions using short written responses.

In Year 9, Alyssia worked through titration equations in chemistry—calculating molar ratios and manipulating the formula n = m/M and C × V—before revising galvanic cells and redox reactions for her upcoming exam.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ethan tackled factorisation of polynomials alongside graphing linear equations, using practice problems to reinforce both skills.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 Maths, he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors—this made it harder to spot where he went wrong and slowed progress on trickier questions.

A Year 9 student's messy handwriting and unclear layout, especially with fractions, led to confusion when checking answers later.

For a Year 11 Chemistry assignment, over-reliance on looking back at old solutions meant less independent problem-solving; the habit surfaced again during test prep for equations and conversions.

One Year 6 student lost focus during reasoning tasks, missing question cues entirely.

Missed opportunities for clear written reasoning meant strong understanding didn't always show up in assessment marks.

Recent Achievements

One Basket Range tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student who, after repeatedly losing marks to "silly mistakes" in algebra and test settings, began slowing down and double-checking his work, catching errors before submitting practice questions.

A Year 9 student who used to wait passively for hints is now independently asking clarifying questions whenever she's stuck—especially with statistics topics—and even requests extra examples for practice.

Meanwhile, during a primary session, a younger learner started using commas correctly in writing exercises without reminders, having previously needed constant prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Hi Erica, thank you for your email. Things have started well with Jacob and hopefully they will continue in the same way. I think in this case, the difference for Jamie is that she can ask Jacob about a problem that she is struggling with and he can answer her straight away. Vivian was able to answer her too but it took her longer and I think the time factor was what was frustrating Jamie. As I'm sure you are aware in year 12 there is such a time crunch that any delays just add more pressure.

Hi Erica Thanks for the email. Yes, everything is going very well. Daniel is finding Yuta to be very helpful and has definitely been able to identify areas of weakness that require work. We are all very pleased with the progress to date.

Morgan has responded very well already with Hazel.  She said her explanations of problems has made her maths much more easier. We are very happy with Hazel.

Local Spots for Tutoring

If you'd prefer not to have lessons at home, tutoring can also take place at a local library—such as Stirling Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Basket Range Primary School.
