Economics Tutor Adelaide, SA
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make a student enjoy the subject that they are teaching. This will give the students a bigger incentive to try and learn the subject for their self, as well as have more fun and eagerness in learning the subject. I try and cater more towards the things that my students are not as good at,…

I believe there are several things a tutor can deliver to her students, the primary of which is to instill a sense of confidence and can-do attitude among them. This means my role will not only limit to a tutor but also a mentor, guiding my students on multiple aspects of their academic path. As a seasoned tutor and teacher of English, I'd say my…

Of course being able to teach and make the student understand the lesson. But understanding does not simply imply understanding just for the sake of passing the subject in the Uni, understanding the lesson means how the learning can be applied to practical experience or to day to day living. Touching the mind is tantamount to influencing a…

The most important thing is to develop the students confidence and give them the ability to take on problems on their own later down the track. I feel that this is the main key to success as without this ability the student will give up half way. Empowerment and showing them that it isn't as hard as what they think is crucial. I am a very patient…

Apart from imparting knowledge, a good tutor should be able to make the student fall in love with the subject. This will guide the student to understand the topic better and most importantly relate it to practical scenarios. Further, a tutor plays a decisive role in unraveling the hidden potential of a student. Not everyone is meant to be a math…

A tutor can make a student feel accomplished while also being able to give them a safe space to mess up and fail, while still letting them know that they are valid and they are succeeding.

Just be student focussed. Make them think for themselves. It took me a long time in my personal education journey to learn this, but once I learnt it, I make sure my students don't make the mistake of learning passively. They need to get involved, think for themselves, and this way they'll not only retain what they learn, but grow more broadly…

In my opinion the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help them improve academically by being patient and encouraging and supporting their goals.

The important thing is to develop the student's ability to independently study. It is like that proverb 'Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.' There are going to be times where the student will find themselves in a position with an urgent question regarding their assignment which is…

Being patient is the single most important thing a tutor can do his/her students.

In relative terms, return on patience with students outstrips that on all other aspects of tutor effort in my personal…

Local Reviews

James has been a great tutor from the very beginning. Very professional, and I can see my son actively engage in the lessons. I'm very confident that he'll feel far more confident going into his exams, and tackling Year 12 Maths Methods next year.
Michelle Evans, Colonel Light Gardens

Inside Colonel Light GardensTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Ava practised subtraction up to two digits without exchanging and strengthened her recall of number facts to 20 using quick games.

Year 6 student Charlie worked on converting fractions to decimals and compared, ordered, and placed them on number lines for visual understanding.

Meanwhile, Year 7 student Ella focused on revising the four laws of indices with examples and tackled NAPLAN-style practice questions targeting multiplication strategies.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student struggled to access homework reliably on OneNote via iPad, leading to incomplete tasks ("accessing homework from OneNote on iPad").

In a Year 8 maths session, overuse of the eraser showed avoidance of visible mistakes: "Does not like to make mistakes—uses eraser although being told that we learn from mistakes."

At the senior level, messy written work in cursive versus print hindered clarity for one student.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student's lack of focus after a school event meant times tables recall faltered and revision suffered.

Recent Achievements

One Colonel Light Gardens tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who used to skip over complex algebraic equations—now, she's recalling BEDMAS rules and solving problems with parentheses on her own.

In a recent session, a Year 8 student who was previously hesitant about worded maths problems tackled several independently after learning to pick out only the relevant facts from each question.

Meanwhile, a younger student in Year 4 started verbalising his thinking when continuing number patterns, something he'd avoided before; by the end of the lesson, he was confidently explaining his reasoning aloud without prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Yes, we have been very happy with how Cheyne and Juhi are getting along. Cheyne is feeling more confident about tackling her maths now and quite looks forward to her sessions with Juhi.

The tutoring is going really well. Jimmy is a great person and really good at tutoring. My son is really happy and comfortable with Jimmy. We are not taking a break over the holidays, so Jimmy is back on Wed night. Jimmy is really helping him understand his maths. Thank you for everything.

Thank you for your email, we are very happy with the work Christian has performed with our daughters as are they. We consider ourselves fortunate to have such a highly skilled tutor in Christian and look forward to continuing these arrangements

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 Mitcham Memorial Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Colonel Light Gardens Primary School.
