The most important things that a tutor can do for a student are making sure that they are enjoying their time spent with the tutor and learning at a rate that is good for the student. As a tutor I believe that I am very clear in giving instructions, tutorials and explaining how to do things, i have the patience that most students need to learn a…

English Tutor Lewiston, SA
I think the most important things a tutor can do is a) be consistent and persistent - constantly show up, be willing to explain things 100 times if that's what is needed. The student needs to have faith in you. And b) build confidence - tutoring isn't a short term option, by teaching them the skills of how to attack problems they don't understand,…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to give them the confidence to never stop trying to learn despite few low moments. I personally, encourage students to ask even the most basic questions which come across their mind and to never feel ashamed of wanting to learn more or being curious. In my opinion, Constantly…

English Tutor Evanston Gardens, SA
I think the most important thing we can do as tutors is provide confidence. It’s the core of everything. Confidence radiates from knowing the content, trusting yourself with the hard work you’ve put in and reflecting upon past mistakes with a positive mindset to move forward. Whether it be in studying, work or life, confidence is key. My…

English Tutor Paralowie, SA
A tutor not only has to teach and assist, but has to provide a student with the confidence that he or she is capable of performing work to a high standard on their own. I believe my biggest strengths, as evident by my high school grades, are my highly developed mathematical and english skills. My main weakness would be holding a student to a…

The best things that a mentor can give his/her students are life long skills and strategies. Academic knowledge is one thing however being able to know how to handle other different learning problem is something that the students can take with them for a long time (eg; time management, self discipline, problem solving skills) I believe my…

Michael is a fantastic tutor for my Year 11 son who has been experiencing difficulties with his Maths Methods. Michael has been very patient and has explained things really well to the point that my son has been feeling very confident with his maths progress. He will continue to have tutoring from Michael which is seeing him really improve. Michael's been amazing

Inside Macdonald ParkTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ariana worked on identifying symmetry in shapes and began a Year 4 content quiz to check her understanding across topics.

In Year 10, Sam focused on solving linear equations in two variables using elimination and substitution methods, along with tackling word problems to build real-world application skills.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Daniel practiced trigonometry by finding missing angles and sides of triangles using the cosine rule, as well as reviewing related problems from his school workbook.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student left research project work until the last minute, which meant "the opportunity to absorb learning is limited" and notes were incomplete.

In a recent Year 10 biology/English session, key materials—like the test and The Merchant of Venice text—were forgotten, so lesson time couldn't be used effectively.

For Year 9 mathematics, skipping steps in equations ("he tended to skip steps and not explain them") led to unnoticed errors that slowed progress.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student relied heavily on tutor sessions for assignment completion rather than independent effort, missing chances to build confidence between lessons.

Recent Achievements

One high schooler, Chelsea, has begun tackling complex trigonometry problems on her own—where she once hesitated to ask questions, she now speaks up whenever something's unclear and completes most calculations independently.

Another secondary student, Sam, who previously struggled with assignment focus, took the initiative to re-engage with his Research Project by asking thoughtful interview questions and even received an A for his newspaper PowerPoint presentation.

Meanwhile, Jess in Year 3 made real progress learning new strategies for tricky times tables and started picking up on mistakes during lessons without prompting.

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 Playford Civic Centre Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Angle Vale Primary School.
