Tutor Hawthorn, SA
Set clear expectations and help students develop strong study habits that extend beyond a single subject. Having recently completed SACE (in 2024) with a raw ATAR of 99.90, my knowledge of the high school curriculum is up to date. I am aware of common troubles many students experience in a variety of high school subjects, and through personal…

Know your stuff. Always. As simple as it might sound, really bringing your students a reliable foundation of knowledge on the subject is always crucial. It doesn't mean that you ALWAYS have to know your stuff though, we are human, and human can sometimes afford not to know it all. This is when I would go on, do my research, and make sure the next…

I think tutors should be understanding to help them in the best way that they can, like being there for your students, not as a crutch but as someone who can amplify their learning. Teaching students concepts and filling gaps in their knowledge and learning techniques helps them create a strong foundation, which will help them build their…

The most important thing a tutor can do is give a student confidence in a subject they once hated or were afraid of and using that confidence to help them learn. Then once they want to learn more about the subject they may even love it as they are able to understand it. I am very patient, friendly and approachable. I have been tutored in the past…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to listen to them and notice.

A tutor has the opportunity to encourage confidence in students. Not solely confidence that they can achieve highly, but confidence that they can give anything a go and learn and improve as they do. A tutor can present things in an engaging way to encourage the student to be open-minded to things they may have discounted because they seem…

Give the student the tools needed for the problem, not the answer. This gives the student the satisfaction of finding the solution themselves, as well as building their confidence to go further. The ability to explain complex problems, break them down into small steps for the student to go through, as well as link the smaller steps so that the…

I believe there are several things a tutor can deliver to her students, the primary of which is to instill a sense of confidence and can-do attitude among them. This means my role will not only limit to a tutor but also a mentor, guiding my students on multiple aspects of their academic path. As a seasoned tutor and teacher of English, I'd say my…

Tutor Fullarton, SA
I think a tutor can teach a student how to learn a topic after it is explained by the tutor. Because at the end, it is the student who needs to learn by themselves after something is being taught to them. A tutor should make sure that anyone can learn those topics on their own if they are introduced by the tutor. My first strength as a tutor is my…

Other than imparting the lessons in school, I think being able to empathize with the students is key in effective teaching. As a matter of strategy, what I will do is to meet them where they are academically, then prepare a plan and implement it to be able to meet our goal(s). I have the ability to relate with young kids well. Raising three…

I feel a tutor must be able to invoke a sense of interest and joy in a students minds for the subject they teach. As a tutor, you are someone who has studied the subject beforehand and are more knowledgeable about the subject than a student who is just starting out. This makes it difficult for tutors to reach their maximum potential while teaching…

The most important qualities are patience and compassion.

A tutor can tailor instruction to meet the specific needs, learning style, and pace of the student. Moreover, students can help students understand complex concepts by providing clear explanations, examples, and demonstrations.

I believe support and encouragement are the most important elements that me as a tutor can help my students.

Some other students may experience difficulties in study (do not get a good result), so…

My son did not want tutoring initially but was very pleased once it started. Time was taken to find a tutor who matched our needs and it has been working well motivationally and in terms of work quality.

Inside MillswoodTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Andrea focused on mastering long division and rounding numbers to the nearest place value using her school homework.

Year 10 Ella worked through challenging algebraic expressions and practiced identifying key points and features of polynomial graphs, using assignment questions for deeper understanding.

Meanwhile, in Year 11, Molly explored calculus concepts by finding sign diagrams and analysing the shape of graphs using derivatives, applying these skills to real examples from classwork.

Recent Challenges

Did not do fractions problems assigned over the school holidays, which meant essential skills were unpracticed and confidence lagged during lessons.

Messy working—particularly omitting units or unclear formatting—led to lost marks in geometry.

Forgot to write equal signs to show relationship in equations, causing confusion when checking solutions.

A primary student hesitated to attempt mental calculations without a calculator, leading to slow progress on times tables and undermining self-assurance during class quizzes.

Recent Achievements

One Millswood tutor noticed Molly taking real initiative by bringing in specific class questions she'd struggled with—she now works through tougher problems independently after just a bit of prompting, which wasn't the case earlier in the term.

Another recent session saw Erin, also in high school, shift from hesitating over source analysis to confidently identifying reliable references for her research report; she's even ready to hand in her draft ahead of schedule.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student surprised their tutor by tackling long division steps solo for the first time, only asking for help when truly stuck.

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 Goodwood Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Thomas' School.
