My understanding of a tutors role is not to do the students work, yet to uncover their natural ability so that they may proceed to increase their academic results. Therefore, the most important thing a tutor can do is not only provide advice but draw out the best of people. I have been told I am a 'people person', I previously worked in a busy…

I believe in empowering students by being a source of encouragement so that they build the confidence to solve novel problems. Allowing creativity in problem solving and not being rigid when things are done in a way that is different from what is usually done should be encouraged as well. Ultimately, all students will come across problems that…

Inside HectorvilleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Alex explored electromagnetic induction, applying Faraday's Law and working through exam-style questions on eddy currents and AC/DC generators.

Year 10 student Mia focused on vector geometry, tackling problems involving vectors in component form and supporting her learning with vector assignment tasks.

Meanwhile, Year 7 student Daniel worked on mastering fractions by practicing addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions alongside basic algebra exercises to build foundational skills.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student frequently relied on mental calculations for algebra, skipping formal written steps. As one tutor noted, "the layout of his working could be clearer"—when errors occurred, retracing logic became difficult and cost time.

In Year 11 revision, a student often defaulted to easy methods or familiar question types; this meant new exam content sometimes felt overwhelming because not enough practice was spent on less comfortable material.

During a Year 10 session, another student hesitated to ask specific questions about what she found challenging in trigonometry—leading to confusion persisting between lessons and uncertainty growing before tests.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Hectorville noticed that one Year 11 student, who previously hesitated to speak up when confused, has started openly asking for help as soon as she's unsure—making sessions much more productive.

In a recent high school physics session, a student who'd struggled with magnetic induction was able to apply his new understanding to exam-style questions independently and even tackled some tougher problems without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner pushed through an initial misunderstanding in fractions and persisted until she got it right on her own.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Miah has done really well in her final maths exam! Her tutoring lessons with Alex are obviously working.

We are really happy with Harry, thank you. James is responding really well to him and he Harry has the knowledge and ability to hold the attention of a teenager who generally struggles with focus!

The tutoring with my son Jordan and Remy is going really well things he feels that the tutoring is beneficial and that he is getting a better understanding of the topics. He has the big exam tomorrow but Remy has been very helpful in getting him prepared and after the exam she has identified areas that Jordan needs to work on which is great.

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 Campbelltown Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like East Torrens Primary School.
