Psychology Tutor Coromandel Valley, SA
The number one most important thing a tutor can do for a student is make sure that the student builds a strong understanding of the content. There is a difference between knowing how to work out a problem, and why a problem is solved the way it is. I think that when you understand the why instead of just how it becomes very simple to complete…

A tutor MUST make the student comfortable with their learning by building a friendship with them, so that they always want to return to EZY Math Tutoring. A tutor must also put aside everything else in their life to assist the student: even if I have a bad day I cannot let that lessen my performance while teaching the student. Finally, a tutor…

Besides helping them understand and learn a topic, the tutor should also help the student master the topic through mastery learning. Mastery learning is a way of designing units of work so that each set of tasks focuses on a particular learning objective and students must master a task to move onto the next one. The tutor should also help the…

The most important thing a tutor can do is make sure they don't generalize their teaching across all students.

Psychology Tutor
I feel a tutor must be able to invoke a sense of interest and joy in a students minds for the subject they teach. As a tutor, you are someone who has studied the subject beforehand and are more knowledgeable about the subject than a student who is just starting out. This makes it difficult for tutors to reach their maximum potential while teaching…

Jess always shows up in time and doesn't dash out the door after 60 minutes but stays to finish if they are in the middle of doing something. She recommends things for my son to work on in between sessions and helps him prepare well for tests
Jessica, Bellevue Heights

Inside BlackwoodTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Ella worked on division strategies and solving time questions, focusing on interpreting word problems.

In Year 10, James tackled applications of differentiation and explored the fundamentals of circular motion using practical examples.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Hannah practiced drawing derivatives given the original function and analysed kinematics alongside circular motion and gravitation concepts from her physics curriculum.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student preparing for calculus and physics assessments had not completed enough revision between sessions, which meant he was less confident recalling methods under test conditions. As one tutor noted, "He hadn't done much revision between our last two sessions so needs to get plenty done to ensure he knows how to do everything before his two tests."

In Year 4, another struggled to remember conversions of time and money—such as minutes in an hour—when working independently at home. This led to confusion during homework tasks, especially when faced with worded questions requiring careful interpretation.

Recent Achievements

One Blackwood tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to hesitate with exam revision now preparing independently and developing stronger strategies for interpreting equations—last session, he had already revised before the lesson and asked targeted questions about problem types.

In Year 8 science, a student who was previously passive during sessions recently started explaining her reasoning out loud as she tackled magnetic induction, which helped her clarify misunderstandings on the spot.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who once kept answers in his head now eagerly walks through his problem-solving steps aloud and double-checks his division work before moving on.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Jeevan is happy with Posearn's approach and seems to have settled well with the arrangement. He has been on time every lesson and seems to be a dedicated tutor. We are looking forward to seeing progress in Jeevan's Maths grades but for now we are pleased that he has someone he can turn to for help when he encounters problems with homework.

Kyle engaged with Josephine very quickly. He has a delightfully engaging and affirming nature. She opened up immediately and felt more confident to tackle maths problems in the session. Very pleased to have him on board.

Chirag is working really well with both girls, and they are looking forward to his sessions. At the moment we are focussing on building their confidence in tackling math problems and starting to challenge them.

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 Blackwood Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Blackwood High School.
