Something that sets me apart from many other tutors is that I’m very relatable, something which I think is very important to a student.

Tutor Ingle Farm, SA
I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is teaching them how to student independently. While it may seem counterproductive, I believe a tutor's job is to uplift the student and strengthen their fundamentals so that they won't require infinite tutoring and thus be able to improve on their own. To do this, the tutor must…

A tutor has to be patient and welcoming for their students. The reason these students come for tutoring is because they face difficulty keeping up with school. So they should be given the space to understand at their own pace, in their own method and a teacher needs to recognize that. We need to recognize the method which we choose to teach a…

I believe that in order for anyone to understand the material being taught - the tutor must begin with the fundamentals and basics; breaking down the information and then ensuring the student is able to explain it back is what I believe works best.
This requires patience, which I believe is an essential quality a tutor must maintain in order for…

Inside Modbury HeightsTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 8 student Jasmine revised simplifying fractions and placing them accurately on number lines, then worked on converting between fractions and decimals.
Year 7 Sarah focused on multiplication with decimals by factors of ten and practiced converting units of measurement for length, weight, and volume.
Meanwhile, Year 10 Adam tackled exam-style questions covering homeostasis in biology as well as human evolution concepts, using past papers for targeted revision.
Recent Challenges
Several students across primary and high school years left homework incomplete, particularly in spelling revision (noted for a Year 4 student: "spelling will now be incorporated into both Thursday and Wednesday lessons" after repeated missed practice).
In Year 11 Biology, exam revision relied heavily on previous test papers but feedback was not always revisited—one note highlighted, "Mini-assignment set to go through in the next lesson," yet earlier corrections remained unaddressed.
A Year 7 student struggled with messy written calculations during BODMAS exercises, making it difficult to check work or spot errors quickly. This slowed progress and increased frustration before tests.
Recent Achievements
A tutor in Modbury Heights noticed a Year 10 student who used to freeze on multi-step biology questions now independently works through past exam papers, only checking answers at the end instead of asking for hints throughout.
In Year 8 maths, one student who'd previously rushed and made errors when converting between units now double-checks their work and explains each step aloud before moving on.
Meanwhile, a Year 3 child who was hesitant to read out loud has started choosing new storybooks themselves during sessions and reads entire pages without prompting from the tutor.

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 City of Tea Tree Gully Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like The Heights School.
