Modern History Tutor Gawler East, SA
The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to listen to their concerns and also find the gaps in knowledge they have to be able to work with them and focus on helping to learn what they are struggling with to help them through their education. The strengths I have as a tutor are that if I do not know the answer to something, I would…

Isabella was absolutely amazing. Tayla was beaming after the lesson. She gained a better understanding of the concepts and had fun in the process!

Inside Kangaroo FlatTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Jai worked on skip counting by 3s and 6s using real-world activities like walking on brick pavers, as well as representing fractions through sharing scenarios with chalk drawings.

Year 8 student Alyssa focused on comparing and simplifying fractions and converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages, plus interpreting worded questions in her online Maths Pathways modules.

Meanwhile, Elysia, studying at TAFE level (senior secondary), practised long division strategies—such as backchecking—and applied division skills to convert fractions to decimals, also tackling BODMAS problems with step-by-step written processes.

Recent Challenges

A gap between lessons left a Year 11 TAFE student, as one tutor observed, "forgetting parts of the process of converting fractions to decimals," which then required an entire lesson just to review before moving on.

In Year 8 Maths, Alyssa initially hesitated to show all her working out for worded questions; by not writing each step, she sometimes lost track of what information was relevant and missed small errors until backchecking.

Meanwhile, in upper primary, Treasure tended to guess answers quickly or give up when challenged by new concepts like Perimeter, making it difficult for her to build confidence through accurate self-checking.

Recent Achievements

One Kangaroo Flat tutor noticed a Year 11 student, Elysia, who used to get stuck and anxious with BODMAS problems, now confidently talks herself through each step aloud and highlights the next operation, making her process much clearer and less overwhelming.

Another high schooler, Alyssa, has shifted from rushing mental calculations to carefully writing out multi-step fraction comparisons; this note-taking strategy has improved her accuracy on tricky tests.

Meanwhile, Tegan in Year 5 has started taking real ownership of her learning—she now asks for homework unprompted and even completed double the assigned punctuation practice before independently identifying full stops in her writing.

What they say about our tutoring

We are really happy with Jarryd, we realise it is going to take time and we are prepared to do that for Thomas. Thomas is really comfortable with Jarryd and this helps. Wish we had done this earlier. Thanks for the enquiry.

Hi, Ruhail has been great and his flexibility has helped enormously. He spent 3.5 hours with Casey last weekend as she had a test she was very concerned about. Casey did much better in her test than she would have done and we are already over the moon. Please pass on our thanks.

Yes, we are very pleased that Sophia likes Rebecca and the tutoring seems to be going well. Rebecca obviously has patience and takes the time to explain things so Sophia can follow them and work through the maths, which is exactly what we wanted. The problem with the school is they move along so fast that there is not enough practice time, and we (the parents) are not familiar with what they teach so we can't just help out quickly; we have to re-learn it ourselves first, and then we're probably not good at explaining clearly. That's why it is great having Rebecca who can obviously explain things in a way Sophia understands. The main thing is that Sophia sees herself as 'Ëśno good at maths', but when something is explained so she understands it, she is very pleased when she can get the right answers. A lot of it is a confidence thing I think, and also her school maths teacher has been quite negative about her work; so hopefully the tutoring will rebuild some of Sophia's general confidence over time, which would be great. Sophia will never be a star at maths, but if she can just get passes instead of always negative marks and comments from school, we will be quite happy with that. Sophia is very good at English/Hums and art; maths is her weak area, and we are very pleased (and actually surprised) that she is sitting through an hour of maths tutoring each week without complaint. We did not know how it would go; we tried one other tutor a few months ago , a retired male maths teacher - and she hated it. So this time we are very happy.

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 Gawler Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Trinity College Roseworthy.
