I consider that a tutor should be a good teacher but also a good person. He should be able to communicate and transmit his passion to give the desire to learn. (I am a native french so I can also teach french). Firstly I would say that my experience is my biggest strength, my computer science school allows me a lot of flexibility so I am available…

I think tutors need to make/ help students feel comfortable and less stressful with their studies in school. Talking to the students and identify their strengths and weaknesses, and hence support them to improve and reach their fullest potential. I always try to adapt my teaching to the students. I never want to be fixed with one way of teaching…

I believe that developing the learning capability of the student is the best thing a tutor can do because a tutor is only going to be there for a short run however their learning ability is going to assist and stick with them forever. I always make the students aware of what kind of questions can be asked while allowing them to take their time and…

Understand them and their learning habits. If a tutor does not understand their student, they can never excel at tutoring that student or almost anyone. Helping a student grow and evolve. A student can be thought of as a growing plant. They need the correct amount of sunlight and water to grow. Similarly students need the right amount of help if…

A tutor can always support or help his/ her students, could take student's weakness in a positive way. A tutor can analyse the student's capabilities in a detailed manner which is very helpful to figure out the areas that need more focus and attention.

Become students’ friends so you can lead the children to the book, most students don’t want study because the teacher is too strict and always pushing them, if the tutor can become their friends, they can lead the student to study voluntary.

I think that a tutor should not limit themselves to just subject knowledge. They should research more on effective teaching methods and strategies that might help them connect to their students more. They should develop practices that make a student's life easier and should understand the individual needs of the students. Often tutors have to…

A tutor should focus on understanding where the student is getting stuck and help them build confidence, not just give answers. I'm patient and I don't rush students.

To go an extra step for his students and understand what the student is going through would be the most important things a tutor could do for his students.

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.

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.
