As a tutor I would help the student to bring out his or hers ideas through learning. Those ideas can make a huge difference in the society. Additionally, I would focus on students who are very weak in a particular subject and provides tips to improvise. I have good knowledge in Mathematics and I can explain the concepts using real life examples.…

The most important thing a tutor can do to a student is make student believe that student can learn and reach proper solution. Every one has the potential to learn things so, once a student starts believing in himself/herself studying starts to become fun. I as a tutor hardly give up on my students. I can only be satisfied and feel peaceful once I…

Tutors should check for understanding as they go and constantly build confidence so that the student feels like their abilities are improving. When a student feels confident, wonderful things begin to happen. Their curiosity is ignited, and they are more likely to ask questions in class and read additional texts about things that interest them.…

Software Dev Tutor Mitchell Park, SA
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…

Software Dev Tutor Glenelg South, SA
The biggest thing that I can do is instill a perfect, complete understanding of the topic at a conceptual level. Memorizing formulas and techniques is so inefficient, and by instead focusing on conceptual understanding, my students can tackle unfamiliar problems with confidence. My biggest strength would be my adaptable communication skills. I…

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…

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

We are very happy, I have referred 3 families at this stage to you. I am impressed with how thorough Monica's lesson plans are, and how they move clearly from low order thinking to high order thinking in a fun way.

My son Matthew has been a student of Arda's here in Perth. Arda has been fantastic and helped Matthew through the difficulties he was having. Matthew has achieved 93% in his last exam and his class tests have all been consistently high.

It is a great pleasure for us too, to see Vas enjoying his lessons, and trying his utmost hardest to listen and catch up. This is all due to Jake too, he is a very big favourite to Vas, he loves his lessons with him, as he explains everything they are doing till Vas understands.

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.
