English Tutor Littlehampton, SA
It is super important for children to feel like they are doing well, and making progress. I think that as an english tutor, encouragement is the most important tool that a tutor can use. If the students are not encouraged, they will no longer be motivated to keep trying, and will therefore not improve. My biggest strength as a tutor is my…

I think that some tutors get caught up in focusing solely on the work in front of them and miss out on teaching younger students about the life in front of them. Instead of doing more work, tutors should provide organisation tips and possible strategies they can put in place to improve the quality of their work. Also, forming close relationships…

English Tutor Mount Barker, SA
I would say one of the most important things an english tutor can do for a student is to show them the compassion and support they need to gain self-confidence and realise their full potential. In my previous tutoring groups, I would often have students who felt like they would never be good academically, and this was simply not true. All that had…

English Tutor Mount Barker, SA
Have a good working relationship with them. Be patient. Encourage them to 'have a go'. Encourage them to take a 'risk'. Help them to understand that mistakes are ok - they are simply a step in the learning process. Encourage them to do their best. Celebrate their successes. Encourage them to believe in themselves and their abilities. Vast…

A tutor can be really influential for each student they instruct. Not only do they have a significant impact on the learning outcomes for the student, but also on their passions and interests. In my experience, having a knowledgeable and enthusiastic teacher can foster a deep affection for a learning area or subject. For example, the care and…

English Tutor Littlehampton, SA
The single most important thing that an english tutor can do for a student is to help them build confidence in their own abilities to learn and overcome challenges. By helping grow and nurture this sense of confidence, a tutor can give a student the tools that they need to learn not only the subject they are working on, but also other subjects and…

I believe a tutor should foster a positive learning environment for a student, in which the student feels comfortable discussing any issues they are having with the tutor. I feel that as a tutor, your core responsibility is to place the needs of the child first, and do whatever you can to fulfill these needs, even if it does involve putting in…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is be able to teach them skills that they can use in their studies after they are finished with a tutor. Obviously it is a tutors job to teach them the task at hand, but I believe a great tutor is able to teach the student skills that will allow them to do better in school without the…

So happy with the encouragement and enthusiasm of the tutor with my daughter. I feel very reassured that she can find the missing key to understanding in her maths.

Inside Biggs FlatTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 Sophie worked on simplifying fractions and converting between mixed numbers and improper fractions, as well as measuring angles with a protractor.

Year 5 Annabelle completed a school worksheet on probability and practiced creating graphs from tables and interpreting data.

For Jay in Year 3, sessions focused on improving fluency with the 3 and 4 times tables and using playing card games to reinforce division concepts.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student repeatedly rushed through multi-step algebra, skipping working and misreading key parts—"she kept jumping to the answer without checking what was being asked," as a tutor noted.

In Year 4 maths, another student lost motivation after encountering a dense worded problem; they gave up quickly, overwhelmed by too much information on the page.

A Year 10 student struggled with messy written work in graphing tasks, which made it hard to spot calculation errors or line up coordinates.

After a tiring day, one Year 5 learner left homework incomplete until prompted several times, feeling reluctant but eventually finishing under guidance.

Recent Achievements

One Biggs Flat tutor noticed Jay, a high school student, now regularly spots and corrects his own mistakes during division—something he used to overlook. He also showed real persistence by pushing through challenging problems without giving up.

In another session, Sophie, also in high school, created her own revision "cheat sheet" before the lesson started—her first time taking that kind of initiative without prompting.

Meanwhile, Annabelle in Year 6 surprised her tutor by confidently tackling percentage calculations on her own after initially hesitating; she divided by 100 and multiplied out the answers independently.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Karla's tutoring is going very well. Hilario has a lovely manner and approach and Karla seems to be getting on very well with him. They have talked about getting the basics right and he's teaching her tips to remember key things as Karla becomes very stressed in exams and cannot concentrate. So hopefully this approach will help.

Noah is doing well so far with Michelle as his tutor. He is starting to improve with his understanding of Maths and is happy with the way Michelle is working with him. I think as time goes by and he becomes more confident that he will improve more.

So far so good. Freddy is lovely and Oscar seems to be settling into having a tutor really well.

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 Mount Barker Community Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Echunga Primary and Preschool.
