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…

Always know what students need and what's their priority. This means a tutor need to show respect to students. They need to know very well about the students and are wise and knowledgable enough to give good advice and make sure students love listening to the advice. I love to solve questions. If I could make complicated things into easy ones, I'd…

The most important thing is trust that both tutor and student should have on each other. An ease of asking questions and making mistakes is another very important thing.

The most important thing in teaching any subject is showing the big picture along with the nitty-gritty. I hope that my student can see the beauty in the sometimes boring schoolwork, and see the deep underlying connection and unity of it all. However, sometimes desperate times happen, and then we must drop the profound thoughts and do what needs…

I believe that tutors must have a good attitude and genuinely enjoy the concepts and the subject. Without this, the student will most likely find the tutoring bland and boring, which would reduce their engagement and their overall performance and knowledge in the subject. My experience as a tennis coach has shown me how different students learn at…

I believe that making every session meaningful, productive but entertaining is key to learning.

A tutor should make a personalized learning experience for every student and build a relationship of trust with the student.…

The most important thing that a tutor can do is to pivot their teaching style in order to suit not only the content but how the student learns.

A tutor should take their time with a student and make sure the student understands before moving on.

A tutor should provide multiple strategies for learning. For…

I think the ability to listen to the needs of each student to tailor your methods to them is vital in maximising their success. In the same vein, I think it is important to provide students with learning strategies that they can approach problems with in the future, to help build their toolbox, rather than approaching each new assignment or…

Local Reviews

Thanks Evan for tutoring my topic 6 in SACE mathematics methods, when I had so much difficulties of understanding the derivative concept.
Jeffery

Inside Leawood GardensTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Lucy worked on index laws and practiced adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions.

For Year 11, Divyanshu focused on differentiating rational functions using first principles in Mathematical Methods and covered the basics of stoichiometry and unit conversions in Chemistry.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Mia tackled titration questions in Chemistry—including a brief introduction to chromatography—and explored the chain rule for differentiation in Maths using both f'(x) and dy/dx notation.

Recent Challenges

In Year 12 Chemistry, one student often hesitated to attempt drawing complex organic structures without first reviewing textbook examples—this led to delays and incomplete practice, especially with esters and amides.

As a tutor noted, "he struggled to number the side chains accurately," which affected his confidence during timed tasks.

Meanwhile, in Year 9 Maths, another student found recalling index laws from memory challenging; when faced with unfamiliar surd questions or fraction conversions, written working was sometimes skipped or left half-finished.

This resulted in errors going unnoticed until later review sessions, adding frustration and extra catch-up work before assessments.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Leawood Gardens recently noticed a big shift with a Year 9 student who, after previously struggling to put pen to paper, wrote a full-length essay independently within just one week.

Meanwhile, a senior chemistry student moved from needing step-by-step help with reaction equations to accurately identifying amines solo as primary, secondary, or tertiary by the end of the session.

For a younger learner, Lucy has begun tackling fraction problems without prompting—last term she hesitated and needed reminders for each step, but now attempts solutions solo before asking for guidance.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We are very happy with the way James is tutoring Julian. Julian is responding well and is comfortable around him being of similar age and James hasn't long completed his HSC. James is passionate about tutoring and is going out of his way to bring out the best in him and to reach his full potential.

We are very happy with how things are going. Luke is a great tutor. He explains things in a way Hannah can understand and if she doesnt he is very patient and tries it another way till she does. Thank you

Zoe is great, Dylan really likes her and feels comfortable around her which is great. as you said, we wont be seeing actual result right away but I think its going to work :)

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 Fullarton Park Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Seymour College.
