Modern History Tutor Ascot Park, SA
I think the most important thing is to allow the student to be confident enough to work hard and to also make mistakes. It's important that a student knows that they have the ability to fulfill their potential, and that everyone has strengths. My strengths would be my positivity and ability to encourage others. I believe in fulfilling academic…

Engage, Communicate, Feedback. I think these three are the pillars of a student's willingness to learn. Apart from that, it is the tutor's responsibility to ensure the students learn. Every student is different and needs a different approach sometimes. We've known this since the big bang probably. But we keep ignoring something even more…

Modern History Tutor
The most important things a tutor can do for a student extend beyond academic instruction. While helping students grasp challenging concepts is crucial, equally vital is fostering a supportive and encouraging learning environment. A tutor should adapt teaching methods to suit the student's unique learning style, provide constructive feedback, and…

Inside BowdenTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student William built confidence with long addition and practiced multiplication strategies, using written methods for clarity.

For Year 10, Grace tackled trigonometry—solving triangles with ratios and applying Pythagoras' theorem to worded geometric problems.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ben focused on financial maths by working through house loan calculations and variable interest scenarios, learning to solve for unknowns using a calculator.

Recent Challenges

Over several year levels, process-related habits are holding back progress.

For example, a Year 8 student relied heavily on their calculator in mental arithmetic tasks—"still needs to work on this," one tutor noted—which led to hesitation when the calculator was unavailable.

In Year 11, anxiety during calculus drills caused skipped checks and repeated mistakes under time pressure.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner often left homework incomplete and needed reminders to review past errors instead of moving on quickly.

Across both junior and senior years, confusion with terminology like "mode" versus "mean" resulted in wasted effort on the wrong methods mid-assessment.

Recent Achievements

A Bowden tutor recently saw a Year 10 student who had struggled to use mental maths confidently begin applying new shortcuts in their working, even tackling practice questions without prompting—something they'd previously avoided.

In a senior session, a Year 12 student took real initiative by openly explaining the exact points where they got stuck in class and then worked through solutions step by step with much less hesitation than before.

Meanwhile, one of our younger students started attempting larger addition problems independently and no longer waits for reassurance before trying each question.

Austin must be a great teacher. Got Anthony to even find it important to do homework in math.

Cobain was very happy with his first visit from Brett and we are poking forward to many more visits

Thank you for your report on Hollys progress so far while it is early days I am sure she will do well with Abbys help. She likes Abby and gets on well with her.

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 Hindmarsh Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Immaculate Heart of Mary School.
