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…

I think one of the most important things is for the tutor to be understanding and listen to the student's problems to be able to grasp what they are struggling with and aid them effectively. It is also useful for the tutor to build a good relationship with the student to help increase their strengths in learning and incorporate their interests I…

A vital aspect of tutoring is being non-judgemental. it is important for a tutor to make the student feel comfortable to share if they do not understand something or are struggling. If a student feels as if they will be judged or considered inadequate they are less likely to come to tutor’s for help. Building a strong relationship is extremely…

Besides helping them understand and learn a topic, the tutor should also help the student master the topic through mastery learning. Mastery learning is a way of designing units of work so that each set of tasks focuses on a particular learning objective and students must master a task to move onto the next one. The tutor should also help the…

When each session ends, students should be comfortable with the content covered, and also comfortable with applying the concepts in a variety of ways.

As a tutor, I am responsible enough to…

I think that some tutors get caught up in focusing solely on the work in front of them and miss out on teaching younger students about the life in front of them. Instead of doing more work, tutors should provide organisation tips and possible strategies they can put in place to improve the quality of their work. Also, forming close relationships…

Ultimately, a successful tutor is the one who can help students out of their bottlenecks, assists them in studying, and finally equips them with the skills and mindsets for…

A tutor should create a safe space for a student so that he/she can reach out whenever needed. Through this, a student will feel more comfortable in his/her studies and will acquire more confidence since they will have the opportunity to be more inquisitive. They will be more eager to learn and explore. My biggest strength as a tutor is patience.…

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.
