To reassure them that having a tutor and needing a bit of extra help is nothing to be ashamed of. Moreover than learning the tasks, helping them feel they're capable of more than they think they are. I am able to think outside the box when it comes to tutoring and find that using mnemonics, rhymes and even little songs that may help students to…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make them want to study a topic, to present a topic in a certain way that makes the student more enthusiastic to learn. Although understanding a subject is extremely important, I believe the students' willingness to learn is equally important as trying to teach a student to…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to open a rapport that makes them feel safe and understood, an environment where they are not afraid to try and even not afraid to fail, in the knowledge that with help and direction they can try again and do better. With the acceptance that 1 style (or even 10 styles!) of teaching…

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…

I think a tutor should be able to tell if their student understands something or not, often they don't say it outright and asking them directly might not get them to admit it. So by asking them to solve a question that indirectly uses the concept might help us figure out if they're having trouble or not. Students should also feel comfortable with…

According to me, the most important thing as a tutor is to try and try until the student understands, although it takes a lot of patience and time. It is also important to explore the student's best way of learning, which may include audio, visual, or kinesthetic, and make efforts to teach them accordingly. As a tutor, I first make my students…

I believe that a tutor should be able to build relationships with a student where the students are provided with an environment where they are heard and observed.

In my opinion, I think that it is important to understand every student is different and has their way of learning. It is important for a tutor to identify and tailor a plan for each student so that they are learning efficiently. For example, as I am a visual and auditory learner, I learn most efficiently by watching lectures and videos and less…

As a tutor, it is very important that the teacher becomes an inspiration to the student.

I think the most important thing is making the student feel comfortable asking questions.

If something doesn't click the first time, I'm happy to explain it again in a different way.…

By doing this, a student will feel safe, and empowered; this in turn will make them learn better. Moreover, it is important for a tutor to build their confidence. It is essential to build on the weak areas of a student. Additionally, a…

A tutor should create a safe space for a student so that he/she can reach out whenever needed. Through this, a student will feel more comfortable in his/her studies and will acquire more confidence since they will have the opportunity to be more inquisitive. They will be more eager to learn and explore. My biggest strength as a tutor is patience.…

Inside JoslinTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Naba worked on identifying and writing ordinal numbers as words, along with using essential basic words in sentences to boost reading and writing fluency.

Year 8 student Daniel focused on solving linear equations in algebra and applied the Pythagoras theorem to geometry problems, often working through example questions together for clarity.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Sarah completed revision on quadratic equations and tackled probability worksheets, ensuring strong understanding by practising a range of worded problems from recent assessments.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 mathematics, a recurring challenge has been translating worded problems into equations—one tutor noted, "he gets tangled in his thoughts when the answer is there, but gets lost in the process," especially during algebra and multi-step reasoning. This habit led to incomplete written working and confusion between operations, slowing progress.

In Year 4, not reading questions carefully resulted in misunderstanding fraction word problems until they were read aloud together; this meant correct answers only came after significant prompting.

For a Year 1 student, messy number writing made her work difficult to read and occasionally unreadable—extra time was spent correcting basic presentation instead of moving forward.

Recent Achievements

One Joslin tutor noticed a high school student who previously struggled with fractions was able to tackle new problems accurately during their session, even managing a bonus question with minimal help—a big shift from earlier lessons where he'd often get stuck.

Another secondary student has begun to explain her reasoning in probability questions rather than just giving answers, showing she's thinking through the steps instead of guessing.

In primary years, Naba is now reading and writing numbers up to 100 confidently on her own, after needing frequent guidance before; today she completed all number-writing activities without any errors.

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 Walkerville Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like East Adelaide School.
