A good tutor will try to understand the knowledge level of the student and explain the topic according to the student's level of knowledge. I believe another important thing a tutor can do for a student is to create a topic interesting from them. A tutor can also use different active method of shearing knowledge like visual, graphical and inter…

The most important thing for a tutor is to be actively listening; a tutor should respond to the student since tutoring differs from general teaching by way of individuality. Each student can express themselves as a person to a tutor rather than just another student in a class. I believe I am great at adapting my teaching style to cater for each…

Engineering Studies Tutor Old Reynella, SA
Being able to work with students and understand how they are feeling toward the content is essential as the core barrier hindering student performance is primarily their level of confidence related to the subject/topic at hand. So to teach effectively, in my experience, is to connect with the students and build their skills and confidence to…

Inside Dover GardensTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Jessica focused on expressing decimal numbers as percentages and converting fractions to percentages, along with simplifying ratios.

Year 8 student Lucas worked through NAPLAN numeracy practice, specifically ordering decimal numbers to three places and exploring the relationships between fractions, decimals, and percentages.

For Year 6, Chloe revised equivalent fraction families using a dice game and practised multiplication and division by 10, 100, and 1000, also reinforcing division facts for the number 7.

Recent Challenges

A Year 3 student, when asked to label place value headings (hundredths to Hundred Thousands), left sections incomplete and mixed up the order—this led to confusion in decimal subtraction later that lesson.

In Year 10 algebra revision, "his understanding of the basics needs to be refreshed," but he skipped feedback on fraction division and didn't attempt practice questions, relying instead on worked examples.

During a senior session, one student appeared stressed and "on edge"—he avoided tackling new equation types independently and preferred watching online walkthroughs over active problem-solving. This meant key skills for upcoming assessments were not fully developed or practiced.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Dover Gardens recently saw a Year 9 student, Kai, who'd struggled with algebra, pick up the rules for fractions and confidently use new methods to isolate variables—he even tackled adding and dividing to get x on one side without hesitation.

In another session, Brooke (Year 10) chose to work through complex algebraic equations by hand instead of relying on her calculator as she had before.

Meanwhile, Jye (Year 5), who was once hesitant about reading aloud, now uses word attack strategies when faced with unfamiliar words and self-corrects while reading narrative texts.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Tutoring is going great for Tom and he has learnt more in 2 sessions with Austin than he has in maths at school this term. He actually passed his Maths exam!!!!!

We are very happy with Thomas so far, he seems to have a good rapport with my daughter, and she is progressing and building up her skills and confidence. Thomas is cheerful and very patient!

Josh has got off to a good start with Owen. He is always much happier once he has had an hour with Owen going through his Math. We see it is helping Josh with his confidence. At this point, thumbs up and wish we had done this a year ago...hindsight is a gift.

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 Cultural Centre Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Stella Maris Parish School.
