Modern History Tutor Hope Valley, SA
I believe that getting high grades in school is not the most important goal for my student (although this is something we work towards), but rather what is most important for me as a tutor is to see them learn, progress and improve each time. I want to teach them the value of hard work while building up their confidence and motivation to tackle…

The most important things a tutor can do is to tailor their lessons to suit their individual students as every student learns differently and has different learning needs.

The most important thing that a tutor for students is to allow them to work out answers for themselves. Of course, tutors should provide guidance, but they should not merely provide answers. Additionally, I feel that students must be allowed room to make mistakes. A tutor should not be one to apply too much pressure on a student, as too much force…

Inside Holden HillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Lily worked on identifying and comparing fractions, including finding equivalent fractions using visual models, and practiced converting uncommon denominators by finding the lowest common multiple.

Year 7 student Abiola focused on surface area calculations for cubes and rectangular prisms, measuring real-life objects to apply area formulas, as well as quick strategies for multiplying by multiples of ten.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Emma explored linear equations—linking tables, graphs, and equations—and was introduced to basic trigonometry concepts through right-angled triangles.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student in Maths repeatedly guessed on challenging multiple-choice questions instead of working through them, as noted: "he was using trial and error to progress." This habit meant that deeper understanding wasn't developed, particularly for harder algebra and geometry tasks.

In Year 10 linear equations, another student struggled to manipulate y=mx+c due to gaps in organizing steps—missing connections between graph features and equation forms.

For a Year 5 writing task, one student's bare responses lacked descriptive detail because she avoided revisiting the storyline.

When homework (like design projects) was left incomplete in Years 9–11, it slowed skill-building for later assessments.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Holden Hill noticed a Year 9 student who had previously needed constant prompting with surface area formulas start to identify and label dimensions independently, even using tricks for multiplying by tens without help—she finished the lesson saying, "this makes sense now!"

In Year 7, another student who used to hesitate when working through statistics assignments is now confidently calculating means and identifying outliers on her own.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student recently shifted from guessing during times tables activities to asking for clarification whenever she's unsure, making it through a tough multiplication quiz with only minimal support.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Both Juliana and I are very happy with Neha's tutoring skills, she seems very focused and smart and Juliana likes her.

Darren is a great tutor and I'm extremely happy. Fletcher has made amazing progress in the few lessons that he had had. Fletcher likes Darren and is comfortable with his teaching style.

Tutoring is going great for Tom and he has learnt more in 2 sessions with Austin than he has in maths at school this term. He actually passed his Maths exam!!!!!

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