The most important thing is for the tutor to make sure the student feels comforatble during the session. Secondly, a tutor is there is help the student find confidence within themselves within that subject, to the point where the student is willing and wants to try for themselves. I try to instil this through positive encouragement. Thirdly, to…

Help them understand things in their way and find or make a method their own. A tutor can't impose a method on anyone, but has to help them learn in a method suited just for the individal. I am extremely patient and am good at explaining a concept in multiple…

Help them improve their grade so they can reach their goals. I used to be bad at mathematics to begin with so I can predict where a student might have problems and prepare a way to help them beforehand. I am also a people person thus I am quite comfortable interacting in one on one…

English Tutor Colonel Light Gardens, SA
I think one of the most important things a tutor can do is be encouraging towards a student; often students get tutoring in a subject they are struggling in and are already mentally finding it difficult so it is critical a tutor positively encourages them and reminds them of their improvement. It is also very important a tutor listens to the…

English Tutor Clarence Gardens, SA
The most important thing a tutor can do is make sure they don't generalize their teaching across all students. Every student has their own strengths/ weaknesses and their own ways of learning and it is important for a tutor to recognize and build upon that so they reach their potential. I am incredibly patient and my passion for what I teach is…

English Tutor Craigburn Farm, SA
A tutor should illuminate the skills, information and methodology on which academic excellence is predicated, thus enabling students to undertake work with confidence and awareness. The communication of this guidance -- and the guidance itself -- should be tailored to the individual's own needs. I am perceptive, patient, and good at articulating…

English Tutor Blackwood, SA
I consider the most important thing a tutor can for a student is to lead them on a path so that they might discover the answer themselves, and not give them the answer straight out. As a trained facilitator, I believe I would be able to identify my student's needs and work with them to fulfill those needs. I also have a proficiency in written…

The personalisation of learning is the most important thing I consider a tutor can do for their student. There is no one-size-fits-all study skills as every students have different interests and strengths. Therefore, I believe it is important to truly incorporate their interests and maximise their strengths in tutoring, for the students to build…

In math a tutor should focus on elaborating on important factors and teaching students how to apply their knowledge to different scenarios. In English, helping students weave new concepts into their writing and become familiar with the basics of strong english.

Marysa has been tutoring my 17 year old son for 1 year, and now also using her for tutoring my 15 year old daughter. Rapport was quickly established between each of them, which is not difficult due to Marysa's maturity, knowledge, respect, and her unwavering support to each child. Every single lesson is met with a bubbly, up beat, and smiling tutor. The advancement in my children's skills, knowledge, and confidence is immeasurable. After a difficult start to finding the correct fit with a tutor, we have been provided a jewel with Marysa.

Inside BrightonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ella revised multiples of 3 and practiced area and perimeter calculations for both regular and irregular shapes.

Year 6 student Lucas worked on comparing decimal numbers to three places, explored improper fractions versus mixed numbers, and practiced expressing decimals as fractions using visual aids.

Meanwhile, Year 7 student Max tackled NAPLAN numeracy practice questions with calculator use, focusing on relationships between fractions, decimals, and percentages alongside key fraction terminology and equivalence.

Recent Challenges

In Year 5 maths, one student repeatedly skipped labeling headings on place value boards ("hundredths to Hundred Thousands"), making it difficult to organize decimal work.

During a Year 8 algebra session, a notebook was left at home—so examples were jotted on loose scraps and later misplaced.

In English (Year 7), over-erasing and correcting narrative drafts led to lost ideas and slower progress; as noted: "She erased sentences so often her story stalled mid-way."

For Year 11 problem-solving, working only familiar fraction drills meant multi-step worded questions remained unsolved—confidence dropped after repeated setbacks in class discussions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Brighton noted that Brooke, a high school student, moved from relying on instructions to independently constructing triangles using a compass and reasoning through the process herself.

In another session, Prajna (Year 8) initially hesitated with index notation but quickly picked up the concept and solved calculator-based problems without prompting.

Meanwhile, Jye in Year 5 shifted from rushing homework to taking time for self-correction—he now pauses to re-read texts and uses decoding strategies when faced with unfamiliar words. Last week, he completed all spelling activities and set out his decimal calculations more clearly than before.

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 Brighton Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Brighton Primary School.
