I think that curiosity and the satisfaction of that curiosity is the most enjoyable part of learning. Whilst students have different goals for their learning the tutor has an opportunity to impact a life positively. The most important thing is to achieve the student's goal but over and above that an english tutor can engender a love of learning…

I consider a good tutor should be able to help the student feel confident in mastering the English Language and be unafraid of speaking up.

I believe that an english tutor should be someone whom the student should feel comfortable asking questions. In this sense, the student should definitely feel no hestitation when asking for clarification if they do not completely understand a concept, something which is not always easy to do in a class. I believe my weaknesses as a tutor would…

I think the most important things an english tutor can do for a student is to recognise where the student is struggling and then to work with them to improve.

Tutors serve a distinct role from teachers and parents, putting them in a unique position to assist learners. Personal relationships are crucial to student achievement; the more attached a student feels to his or her tutor, the more trust and respect the tutor instils in the student, both of which are necessary ingredients for effective learning.…

There are many important things an english tutor can do for their students however, the greatest thing is being a supportive role model. If the student is able to respect and understand their tutor, there is a high chance that student looks up to that tutor.

I think that an english tutor must be patient and remain composed with each student.

I have (as told to me by all my ever-suffering associates) a 'wild' vocabulary, and for English…

Expanding on what I have written earlier, I think that one of the most important things an english tutor can do for a student is be prepared, and always willing to learn.

I believe the most important thing an english tutor can offer a child is patience. Impatience does not create a suitable learning environment.

I have strengths as…

As I alluded to earlier, I think the student's enjoyment is extremely important.

Most importantly, a student should be motivated and encouraged so that he studies with interest. He should be made to feel that if he failed to understand a concept once, it is perfectly fine and he should keep trying. He should be taught the actual meaning of the word 'Competition' , which is to beat his / her own last performance and not anyone…

He was easy to work with for my son and supported him with the work he found the hardest. He was professional and well prepared to support the curriculum.
Alex

Inside BlakeviewTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Sam focused on place value to four digits and expanded notation, building up number sense through hands-on activities.

Year 8 student Alex practiced solving linear equations in two variables using both elimination and substitution methods, as well as tackling related word problems for deeper understanding.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ethan explored trigonometry by working on word problems involving triangles and finding all the main trigonometric ratios, reinforcing concepts with targeted practice questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 12, last-minute work on the Research Project meant Sam "left little time to polish," with one session lost just sourcing articles—time pressure limited deeper learning.

Over-reliance on tutor sessions for assignment completion replaced independent effort.

In Year 10 Maths, skipping steps in algebra ("sometimes skips the steps in an equation when written") made error spotting difficult and slowed progress during problem-solving.

A Year 5 student struggled to recall multiplication facts automatically, making worded problems more challenging and leading to hesitancy mid-question.

Missing preparation or incomplete notes repeatedly left students unable to fully engage or absorb feedback within their sessions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Blakeview noticed Chelsea is now regularly asking clarifying questions during algebra sessions instead of hesitating when stuck—this shift has helped her accurately solve equations using both substitution and elimination.

Caitlin, also in high school, recently tackled challenging geometry problems by trying new solution strategies on her own; just a few weeks ago, she would wait for hints before attempting harder questions.

Meanwhile, a primary student was able to read out five-digit numbers confidently and used the bridging-to-10 strategy to solve addition problems independently for the first time.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

So far so good. Scott has been great. He is exceptionally patient and really flexible at fitting in with our timetable.

. Ruby enjoyed the session and is very happy with Vibha, so we're off to a good start.

Chloe has had 2 sessions and is starting to find Maths easier already. She has tests coming up and Rosario is focusing on this. We've found Rosario to be patient when explaining the different processes to Chloe. She is also warm and friendly with her and this is good for Chloe who also has anxiety issues.

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 Playford Civic Centre Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Blakes Crossing Christian College.
