Online Tutor Gawler East, SA
I believe that tutors need to help students become empowered and motivated to learn, so that the student takes responsibility for their own learning and development. Therefore, students need to acquire not only knowledge of subject material but also learning strategies, which help them in various areas of their lives. I care about people and want…

Breeanna got along well with Alicia and quite liked her approach to math. She has identified some areas that need a bit of work, so far we are pleased with everything

Inside KingsfordTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Alyssa focused on solving worded questions involving perimeter and area, and also practised simplifying and comparing fractions as part of her Maths Pathways modules.

Elysia, studying at TAFE level (Years 10–11), strengthened her skills in long division and BODMAS using step-by-step worked examples, then applied these to converting fractions to decimals.

Meanwhile, Year 4 student Jai used Lego arrays to practise skip counting and began working with fractions through real-life scenarios like cooking measurements.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 TAFE Maths, Elysia often struggled to retain new processes after long gaps between lessons; for example, "with a month's gap, she had forgotten parts of converting fractions to decimals and needed a full hour to review."

In contrast, Alyssa (Year 9) made strong gains in accuracy by showing all working out and backchecking, but sometimes omitted written steps when working quickly through worded questions.

With Year 5 student Treasure, hesitation and fear of mistakes led her to guess or give up quickly on Prodigy tasks rather than checking answers methodically.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Kingsford reported some real progress across several students lately. One high school student who used to feel unsure about division now talks herself through each step aloud, using a colour-highlighting strategy she created; this shift from silent guessing has made her far more accurate on TAFE assignments.

Another high schooler, after struggling with ordering and converting mixed fractions, began carefully writing out every step and double-checking her answers—she's now catching mistakes herself instead of relying on hints.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student who was hesitant to ask questions now confidently requests clarification during lessons and even chose extra homework for the week.

What they say about our tutoring

Thank you for the report. We are very happy with Kim's approach and way of teaching . Yejeena is very responsive to her and enjoying her learning. She has become more confident in school and starting to put her hand up to answer questions when her teacher asks questions from the the class. It seems to us that , Kim also is enjoying working with Yejee and very happy with Yejee's attitude toward her extra study hours after school.

Both Ashleigh and myself are very happy with Duncan. Ashleigh is already feeling much more confident and I believe that she will progress steadily.

Tutoring with Robert is going extremely well. Robert has an excellent way of explaining concepts and Tara and Ethan are already feeling more confident with their maths.

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 Roseworthy Primary School.
