To show compassion. We have all been where the student was once and understand some of the difficulties that they are facing learning the coursework for the first time. It is also very important that they are calm and focused during their studies and I believe it is the responsibility of the tutor to keep the student relaxed while working through…

Giving the student a different experience to school, and showing them that the education experience isn't only limited to school and that high level education goes beyond what you are taught at school and university Being able to work may way through to any topic by breaking it down and working our way into the topic (filling any gaps of knowledge…

Physics Tutor Kalbeeba, SA
The most important thing a physics tutor can do for a student is teach them ways of learning that work for them. If they can learn properly the grades and interest in the subject should naturally follow. My strengths as a tutor lie in my good understanding of mathematics from studying it at university for 4 years, and because I have struggled for…

Joanna's fun and personalised approach to teaching has made a huge difference to Charley's participation in maths tutoring sessions. Joanna has a gift for presenting and describing information in a way that Charley can understand. We are thrilled to have Joanna supporting Charley.

Inside Cockatoo ValleyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Bella revised algebraic translations and transformations, then tackled SACE exam practice questions to strengthen problem-solving.

In Year 11, Marcus focused on discrete random variables and binomial distributions using real data examples.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Olivia worked through calculus topics including definite and indefinite integrals as well as differentiation rules for exponential and trigonometric functions, with emphasis on applying each technique in exam contexts.

Recent Challenges

In Year 4 maths, incomplete times tables homework and continued reliance on fingers meant foundational skills didn't solidify as hoped—"she did not complete her homework of doing her times tables," noted a tutor, which slowed progress in division tasks.

In Year 11 calculus, revision was sometimes limited to familiar problems; when faced with challenging algebra or transformation questions, uncertainty showed because "more practice should solidify her understanding."

For TAFE students, messy written layout and infrequent independent revision led to confusion during BODMAS or worded problem-solving.

These patterns left less time for extension work or deeper exam preparation in each session.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Cockatoo Valley noticed that Elysia, a high school student, now openly asks for clarification when she's unsure about a maths process—something she used to shy away from—which lets her grasp tricky BODMAS problems step by step and even develop her own "cheat sheets" for revision.

In another session, Jasmine (Year 10) tackled new algebra and calculus topics by reusing strategies from previous lessons; she showed initiative adapting these methods independently without needing prompts.

Meanwhile, younger student Jai took real pride in mastering skip counting by 3s using hands-on activities outside, confidently showing his mum how he could count along the brick pavers.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

My daughter and I are both very happy with Thibault. She has only had one session with him but said he was good at explaining and he was able to answer her questions. He was also encouraging, punctual and very polite. We are very happy to continue with him.

Gagan is a wonderful tutor and I would be very happy with her coming back next year.

Both Natalia and Kiara are very happy with Abigail and things are starting off really great.

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 Lyndoch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Sandy Creek Primary School.
