A tutor should be strict about discipline but at the same time friendly and lenient understanding students problem. He should be available on phone all the time for his students during the exam period. Also, the tutor has to get some real-life problems and repeat the same basic concepts repeatedly so that the student memorises it for a long time.…

They should develop practices that make a student's life easier and should understand the individual needs of the students. Often tutors have to…

Inside FitzroyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Emily worked on simplifying fractions and converting between units, including multiplying and dividing by 10, 100, and 1000.

For Year 9, Sam practised expanding brackets in algebra and solving equations with fractions using cross-multiplication.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Olivia focused on factorising quadratic trinomials and applied these skills to financial problem scenarios.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often skipped revising written notes before starting exercises, leading to repeated confusion with algebra sign rules—she made the same mistake regarding sign changing very often despite being reminded and her notes are available.

In Year 6, forgetting to complete homework meant less time consolidating geometry formulas.

A Year 10 student did not inform the tutor ahead of a test, missing out on targeted preparation.

Several students in Years 4 and 7 relied on calculators for timetables instead of memorisation, slowing progress in more complex topics.

Moments of distraction during lessons left working incomplete or unclear.

Recent Achievements

A Fitzroy tutor recently noticed Athena, a Year 10 student, making a shift from needing reminders to independently taking notes and actively solving algebraic word problems—she even scored 87% on her latest test after struggling with similar content last term.

In another session, Constanza (Year 7) moved from hesitating over new fractions topics to posting thoughtful questions and finishing her homework without prompting.

Meanwhile, Valentina in Year 6 started writing down her problem-solving steps during lessons instead of relying solely on verbal explanations; she completed all her homework and correctly applied new strategies to worded equations.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

So far we are extremely happy with Sarah. As you said, it is very early days, but so far so good. Mackenzie is very comfortable with her and feeling very positive about having Sarah as his new tutor. She is always punctual and friendly. And she has taken on some extra sessions with Mack over the school holidays which has been very helpful. I look forward to getting a couple of months tutoring under our belt to hopefully see some progress.

Thank you for your email.  Things are going well with the tutoring and Christian is a capable young man, as you say it will take time to see an improvement. Hopefully after that time, Kimberley will be feeling more confident.

John has been excellent with both lachie and william. We believe a full term of tutoring will greatly assist.

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 Adelaide City Libraries - Tynte Street—or at your child's school (with permission), like Blackfriars Priory School.
