The most important thing for a tutor is to understand the weaknesses of a student, identify his/her areas of discomfort and find a suitable way for the student to digest. Being able to be a good friend of the student is also a rare quality every tutor should possess. I have 5+ years of experience tutoring students from various background. My good…

Software Dev Tutor Norwood, SA
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…

A tutor can inspire a student to learn more and be inquisitive. Making the student ask more questions and grasp the concepts, are the major things a tutor can do for a student. I am patient when it comes to teaching students. Each student is different in their academic potential, as such, I can assess the best path for the student so that they…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to see what subjects interest the student to bring out the potential of that student in that subject and as I had very bad teachers while growing up I learnt to support and make it easy for the student to understand I have patience in dealing with people and can cater to different variety of people even…

Try to make them feel confident in themselves and build intuition. Maths is hard and it is easy to feel discouraged; so being able to boost morale and keep them going is important in them being successful. I really do try to be engaging; I try to speak to students as an equal. I think talking to them as regular people and have regular…

I consider the two most important things for a tutor to do are to first inspire confidence in the student and identify the area of difficulty as precisely as possible. Students are generally not equipped to identify the precise area of their difficulty as they don't have the knowledge to fully place it in the context of the subject. By…

Being a tutor, one can do a lot of things for a student apart from teaching. A tutor has the responsibility of mentoring the students in career and general life. The tutor should be empathetic and able to understand the student to provide relevant support. I am a high achiever myself. Being a uni student, I can relate to the students' problems in…

As a tutor, it is very important to be a source of encouragement for each student equally and make them believe in themselves to be successful(success-as defined by each person and not according to the standards of the general public). I also believe it is important to acknowledge the effort of each child, appreciate them where it is…

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

I would like to say that Sultan was a fantastic tutor for Daniel and I feel sad to have to end the tutoring with him. In the short time that he was tutoring Daniel, Daniel learnt a lot in maths. Could you please let Sultan know and please let him know how happy I was with him as a tutor for Daniel.

Vibhuti has been good so far, very nice and punctual. My daughter seems to get along with her well and I imagine they will get more productive as the time passes.

So far, so good with Jie tutoring Charlie. Jie is professional, organised, and has warm and friendly nature.

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.
