A tutor can provide little tips and tricks to answering questions, especially in Math. Always be within reach, in terms of communication platforms, so that the student can clarify any doubts at any point in time.

Recognising what the student requires and teaching it accordingly is one of the critical teaching factors. After teaching a specific section, it is essential to question the student on the respective topics to understand whether the student understood the basic concept of the section I believe every student has a different capacity. As a student,…

The most important thing I believe a tutor can do for the students is to understand and listen to them and their needs. When a tutor listens and spends time building a relationship with his/her student, it allows the tutor to personalise the learning for the student by incorporating connections to the student's interests. In addition, it allows…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to get a proper understanding of the level of mathematical 'maturity' of a specific student, rather than just assuming a certain background knowledge. Once this is established, it's possible to get the core of what exactly a student is struggling with (usually a particular fundamental concept) and…

The most important thing a tutor can do is not to flaunt their own brainpower like a flashy superhero cape.

Local Reviews

Daniel is great and Charlize is really enjoying the sessions.
Dean, Wayville

Inside ForestvilleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Tom explored time calculations and worked through problems on perimeter and area.

In Year 10, Lily revised key features of polynomials for an upcoming test and practiced solving trigonometric equations.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ben focused on sketching graphs using first and second derivatives, identifying turning points and inflection points with the help of sign diagrams.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student's chemistry report was flagged for unclear structure and weak communication of key points—layout and logical flow need improvement, as the tutor noted, "structure still not clearly and main point not communicated logically."

In Year 10, a student didn't complete assigned fractions problems over the holidays; this meant new material on polynomials felt rushed, with less time for feedback.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student's messy worksheets made it hard to track formulas during graphing tasks.

In primary years, one child hesitated to draw diagrams in worded maths questions, making it harder to connect concepts when problem-solving under test conditions.

Recent Achievements

One Forestville tutor noted that a Year 11 student who previously struggled with test-style problem solving has begun pinpointing her own weaknesses and now proactively works through similar questions until she's satisfied—something she hadn't done before.

In a recent high school maths session, another student independently created a "cheat sheet" for an upcoming trigonometry test and remembered to use it during practice, showing more self-directed study habits than in earlier lessons.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who often missed parts of multi-step problems now double-checks her work unprompted and corrects mistakes on her own before moving on.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Venessa was great and we will be asking her to come back again in the new year.

Our daughter seems to respond well to Adam and even though it's still early days she is much more confident! Thanks

The tutoring sessions with Dominic are going very well. He has certainly helped Kailiana to gain confidence and skills in maths, while keeping a calm, friendly, and easy-going mood for the tutoring sessions. As any 8 year old does, Kailiana can get distracted from time to time, but Dominic has always taken this in stride, and been very creative in engaging with Kailiana in order to retain her attention. For example, there was one instance where she jumped up out of nowhere and decided to feed her goldfish in the middle of them trying to solve some questions about volume. Once she got back to the table Dominic asked her about her fish, and then changed the objects in the question they were solving to fish. He effectively got her back on track and engaged her attention in a warm and gentle way. Kailiana looks forward to her tutoring sessions, with is another testament to the good work Dominic has been doing with her.

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 Goodwood Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Goodwood Primary School.
