The most important thing a tutor can do for their student is to accommodate their learning style. Students have ranging techniques and motivations when learning content. Personally, I struggled with auditory learning as a student, and would therefore ask my teachers to give me a range of tactile learning techniques to assist in my learning. I…

Modern History Tutor Glenside, SA
I believe the most powerful way a tutor can aid a student is by giving them confidence. More than often, students can show more vulnerability in a one-on-one session than in a classroom surrounded by their peers, and so the best thing I can do is use these private sessions to impart confidence in the students by making them see ways they can…

When each session ends, students should be comfortable with the content covered, and also comfortable with applying the concepts in a variety of ways.

In my opinion, a tutor must be able to empathize with the student and create a safe space for them.

It is very important as a tutor to understand your student. Be his silent friend and connect with him. Read his mental abilities, his interest, observe his qualities and disabilities, his way of learning things. And then try to impart the teaching depending on all these factors. Each student is different and so is the method of teaching. Teaching…

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

Expanding on what I have written earlier, I think that one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is be prepared, and always willing to learn. I think this requires being a bit humble, and accepting that, even with something that may appear to be far below the tutor's learning, there may still be things that aren't known or have…

Local Reviews

Damien was very prompt and professional. He was happy to go the extra mile to meet his student's needs and provide the right tutoring suppory.
Jackie

Inside ClelandTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Alyssia worked on balancing chemical equations and explored acidity and pH concepts while preparing for her practice exam.

In Year 10, Jack focused on factorising polynomials and graphing the resulting equations to solidify his understanding of algebraic techniques.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ethan revised logarithms through targeted test questions and reviewed geometry topics to prepare for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 3 student's focus and handwriting habits often led to capital letters appearing mid-sentence, making their writing hard to follow; as noted, "sentences need to be conscientious and not rambling."

In Year 8 mathematics, skipping working steps in algebra—despite understanding—meant errors went unnoticed until the end ("he needs to work on focusing more and not rushing questions").

Meanwhile, a senior chemistry student relied heavily on previous answer formats when tackling molar ratio problems, instead of independently applying concepts. This habit left her uncertain when faced with unfamiliar variations during revision.

Recent Achievements

One Cleland tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to lose marks from "silly mistakes" in tests now checking his work more carefully and asking for clarification on question wording before answering.

Another high schooler, Alyssia, made a real leap in chemistry—she could complete titration equations independently by the end of her session, whereas she'd previously needed step-by-step help.

In Year 4, Oscar has started using commas correctly in his writing after reminders and can now tackle fraction problems with only minimal prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

So far so good. The kids are actually enjoying their time with Agnes so that's s good sign. Jaren came out of last weeks tutorial session saying "well you learn something new everyday". It just gives them more confidence with mathematical concepts, I think they're getting something out of it. Thank you.

Sofia was progressing and Sofia was very comfortable with the tutor. She gave Sofia a lot of help and her understanding of maths had improved and she learned to enjoyed maths, even the homework set and that surprised me. Thank you again.

Chelsea loves Melanie as her tutor. She is a great tutor, smart, very friendly, and very patient. She has all the quality as a tutor and we did like the way she taught Chelsea. Thank you so much for giving Chelsea the best tutor, we are happy with everything.

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