Tutor Kensington Gardens, SA
Build interest. For younger student, most of them are still trying to find their interest in a certain field. The best thing I can do is to build interest with my humorous skill. Interest can lead students to an automatic learning mode, they will intake the related knowledge and digest them by themselves, and have the ability to do self-study,…

One of the most important things I have realised over helping my friends in year 12 would be to walk through the question and not actually doing the question for the student. Sure you could do the question for them and they could get full marks for an assignment or whatever, but they would not understand the fundamentals lying behind the question…

Be patient with them and allow them to learn in a safe space where they feel free to ask any questions. I work to ensure that a student leaves fully understanding a concept, and make sure they know that any question is a reasonable question to have. I am also very patient and understand that learning can be frustrating, so I make sure that I…

Ultimately the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to aid them in learning. However, along with that there must be good foundations to assist this, such as: creating an environment the student feels comfortable and happy in, building good rapport with the student and ensuring the learning content is being delivered in such a way…

I consider the ability to communicate in the student's eye level to be the essential as a tutor. For example, a tutor should be able to support students based on their level of education and motivation. My strength as a tutor is my ability to communicate and explain difficult concepts as simple as possible. Also, I take tutoring as an opportunity…

The most important thing a tutor can do for their student is to accommodate their learning style. Students have ranging techniques and motivations when learning content.

Listening to the students is the most important things a tutor can do. Not everyone can study at the same pace or method. While I have my method of teaching, it helps the student to be more comfortable to study in a way that they are familiar or works for them. I can be as soft or hard as required to teach my students. Listening to them and…

I think the most important thing is to give them an interest in the subjects. In my study path, I realized that the easiest way to study well in a subject is loving them. Therefore, instead of providing them with a full of academic lessons, teachers should help them feel entertained in the lessons. Then, they will find out and get better by…

The most important thing is to help students develop a problem-solving thinking mode, rather than simply explaining a certain problem. After the problem-solving thinking mode is formed, they can not only efficiently solve the problems in learning but also actively deal with the problems in life. I am a very patient person. I can answer students'…

The single most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to help them build confidence in their own abilities to learn and overcome challenges. By helping grow and nurture this sense of confidence, a tutor can give a student the tools that they need to learn not only the subject they are working on, but also other subjects and skill or…

When each session ends, students should be comfortable with the content covered, and also comfortable with applying the concepts in a variety of ways. Tutors need to enable students and help their way of thinking on how to approach different kinds of questions, especially questions that students don't know how to approach. Also, it is important…

Excellent service when I telephoned to inquire about a tutor in my area. The tutor was polite, friendly and, most importantly, knowledgeable in her field.

Inside Kensington GardensTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Emily focused on subtraction and multiplication, using visual aids to strengthen understanding of number facts.

In Year 11, Olivia worked through quadratic equations and practiced sketching graphs of parabolas to build confidence with exam-style questions.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student James tackled differential equations and explored statistical regression techniques, applying these concepts to real-world data sets during the session.

Recent Challenges

A Year 3 student often left school homework unfinished, and as a tutor noted, "missed a lesson," which meant less time reinforcing number skills.

In one session, a Year 11 student struggled to write out questions and answers clearly during algebra work—untidy working made it difficult to spot errors or explain thinking later.

For a Year 9 test on geometry and simultaneous equations, there hadn't been enough revision time; gaps showed up in the result.

After setbacks, one Year 10 student expressed low confidence about her maths test score, despite likely doing better than she believed.

Recent Achievements

One Kensington Gardens tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 11 student who, after weeks of hesitation, now takes the lead on tough integration problems and recently reported their latest test was probably their best yet.

Another high schooler showed newfound independence by working through challenging vectors questions without prompting—just a few sessions ago, they needed step-by-step support.

In primary maths, Aryo started bringing his own homework to lessons and now answers many questions unaided, especially around times tables and fractions; last week he finished an entire worksheet unaided.

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 Burnside Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Peter's Collegiate Girls' School.
