One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is guide that student to success, this can be achieved by listening and being attentive to the childs learning styles and needs. Patience and understanding. I believe that patience is one of the most important qualities to have as a tutor, this is because it can be very frustrating as a…

I think that the most important things that a tutor should have when teaching students is to dedicate as much Time as possible to the student in order to understand the tasks they are required to do. Patience is also another important thing to have as things take time. Dedication, not giving up on the student, everyone learns at their own…

The most important thing would be to teach a student that studying shouldn't be a chore, and that giving it their all matters more than receiving a perfect grade. I understand that each student is different, and that not every approach will work for an individual, so it is essential that their tutor knows how to adapt to their needs while still…

Psychology Tutor Adelaide, SA
I feel a tutor must be able to invoke a sense of interest and joy in a students minds for the subject they teach. As a tutor, you are someone who has studied the subject beforehand and are more knowledgeable about the subject than a student who is just starting out. This makes it difficult for tutors to reach their maximum potential while teaching…

The most important thing is help them out and resolved questions undoubtedly. Let them feel affirmation, approval, safe and supportive is also important when teaching. Some students will feel depressed and frustrates when stucked with some questions, so let them feel easy, feel ok, and relax, trust is also imperative. Good relationships with…

As someone who studied Psychology for years, I can say that I did so because I had an excellent teacher for the subject in high school. My English teacher was also very nurturing despite my poor performance and that was an important experience for me.

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to not just help with homework and assignments, but build a solid understanding of key concepts and other basics (especially in maths and science) so that the student is equipped with the knowledge and confidence to tackle a wide range of problems on their own. I think one of my…

I consider the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to ultimately inspire them in a love of learning and hopefully pass onto them capsules of knowledge which are priceless. My strengths as a tutor are to challenge the pupils to think abstractly about language and harness the true power it possesses. I love hearing the pupil's own…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to empower the individual to believe they can do it. This requires inspiring growth and motivation, as you cannot force someone to learn but only encourage one to try their best. To me, a student's best is always something to be celebrated and from here, I provide support and aid when the…

I can offer helpful criticism and useful techniques, like as dividing work into manageable portions, by allowing students to freely express their actual…

Inside Dry CreekTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student James revised coordinate geometry concepts such as calculating gradients and midpoints, then practiced solving linear equations and plotting their graphs.

For Year 11, Sarah focused on mastering Dijkstra's algorithm in networks and moved on to matrix multiplication using worked examples.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Jack explored differential calculus by drawing sign diagrams for derivatives, finding tangent equations at specific points, and applying exponential laws with calculator support.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8, one student often left little space between steps when solving equations, making it difficult to retrace and spot errors—he could leave some space between working out to allow himself to easily backtrack and find the error.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 learner lost concentration midway through sessions, which led to gaps in recalling content from previous lessons.

In Year 12, rushing meant timing issues during practice exams: questions were sometimes unfinished or key steps missed.

For another senior student, over-reliance on summary sheets limited independent recall when tackling unfamiliar differentiation tasks.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Dry Creek noticed a Year 10 student who previously struggled with algebra now independently completes all assigned problems and even explains his steps aloud, showing real initiative compared to earlier sessions.

In Year 12 chemistry, one student recently tackled a challenging worksheet without prompting and clarified several tricky concepts she used to avoid asking about.

Meanwhile, a younger learner in Year 4 maths has started using continuous division on her own to find prime numbers—she now chooses this method confidently after weeks of needing reminders. Last session, she picked out the next number herself and solved it without hesitation.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Nicholas seems happy with Gaj and already he is seeing improvements in his understanding of the maths topics he has covered.  Nicholas is more motivated with maths now and his confidence has improved greatly.

Graeme is happy with Gajith as it is great to have someone who can explain how to answer the question on the spot.

Thank you for the follow up email. Eden is already streaking ahead with the help of Nicole. She is great at what she does. Eden enjoys the tutoring sessions & feels comfortable with Nicole. Nicole is also very accommodating regarding upcoming tests etc & is willing & able to schedule additional sessions, if & when required. I am very happy with the progress so far.

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 Enfield Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Blair Athol North B-6 School.
