Tutor Largs Bay, SA
Most importantly, I will help a student worry less about talent, and more about studying effectively to fill in any gaps. People find a subject hard or easy depending on what they already know, so my role is to go over problem areas and set appropriate exercises to build up knowledge where it is needed. Practising good study techniques will help a…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to empower the individual to believe they can do it. This requires inspiring growth and motivation, as you cannot force someone to learn but only encourage one to try their best. To me, a student's best is always something to be celebrated and from here, I provide support and aid when the…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to make them feel comfortable to communicate with.

Emerson seems like a very nice person and a great tutor. Only in a few weeks she has already helped Emmz progress with a few things she was struggling with.
Matthew, Largs Bay

Inside Largs BayTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 Maddison identified areas needing support in division, fractions, and algebra, discussing strategies for improvement and planning next steps together.

In Year 11, Sienna focused on applying integration to real-world problems and practiced interpreting motion graphs using kinematics questions.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Emily worked through differentiating logarithmic functions and integrating velocity to find displacement, reinforcing these concepts with exam-style problems.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student struggled to decide between the log rule and chain rule when differentiating ln functions, needing to "talk out loud through problems" to clarify thinking.

In another case, a Year 11 student missed easy factorising by not listing all potential factors before moving on; with prompting, they could spot errors but hadn't developed the habit of checking assumptions.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student couldn't locate completed homework and spent much of the lesson redoing it instead of tackling new material. The lack of clear organization left her unprepared for extra content provided that week.

Recent Achievements

One Largs Bay tutor noted that a Year 11 student, previously rushing through differentiation problems and making avoidable mistakes, has started pausing to check forms before applying rules—resulting in far fewer errors.

In a recent session with a Year 8 student, the tutor observed her coming prepared with specific questions about graphic calculator use, something she hadn't attempted independently before.

Meanwhile, Esther in Year 3 moved up four reading levels after weeks of focused spelling and phonics work; she managed to finish the much longer book aloud without hesitation during her latest lesson.

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 Semaphore Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Largs Bay School.
