Psychology Tutor Hope Valley, SA
A tutor is supposed to ensure learning and the growth of the students academic skills. Also to make sure their goals are strong enough for them to reach success in the future. I am patient and I do not back down if the student is not ready to learn. I use different tactics to engage the student such as asking them what they struggle with and…

Psychology Tutor Dernancourt, SA
I consider the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to ultimately inspire them in a love of learning and hopefully pass onto them capsules of knowledge which are priceless. My strengths as a tutor are to challenge the pupils to think abstractly about language and harness the true power it possesses. I love hearing the pupil's own…

Psychology Tutor Golden Grove, SA
The most important thing is for a tutor to help a student understand the concepts, rather than giving them answers, to help them towards understanding the work independently. I consider myself to be patient with my students as they learn at their own speeds, while providing them with the path to find the answer…

Inside Modbury NorthTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student James focused on solving linear equations, calculating slope, and understanding parallel and perpendicular lines using graphing methods.

In Year 9, Sarah practised drawing graphs in both slope-intercept and general form, and worked on writing comparative essays using TEEL/PEEL structure for English.

Meanwhile, Year 7 student Lily built her skills with simultaneous equations through substitution and elimination techniques, including representing solutions graphically.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 science, one student repeatedly second-guessed correct answers, as noted: "a lot of the time the student got it right but questioned themself," which slowed progress and made it harder to build confidence with new material.

In Year 8 maths, skipping steps during calculations meant key errors were hidden—one tutor observed missing working on paper.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student would often guess rather than systematically solve word problems, especially when distracted by unrelated details. Each instance left students uncertain about their strategies and sometimes unsure whether success was due to skill or luck.

Recent Achievements

One Modbury North tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to rely on prompts is now tackling algebra problems independently and even chose to finish extra questions after the lesson.

In a recent high school maths session, another student who previously hesitated to ask for help began voicing specific questions about tricky topics, leading her to solve multi-step equations solo for the first time.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student surprised her tutor by switching to a new division strategy she'd just learned at school; although it took longer, she stuck with it until she could explain her method and reach correct answers on her own.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Cara is very happy with Ishwarya as her tutor. They have an easy, productive working relationship already after only three weeks, Cara was comfortable with Ishwarya after the first week.

William is excited as he is learning more with Bailey than with his math's teacher. Baileys methods are easy to follow and very helpful. Bailey is always on time and puts in 110%. After every session, you can see the smile on William's face and his new found confidence. We are very impressed and very lucky to have Bailey tutor William.

Wen is fantastic! Jack is very happy with the tutoring so we would like to continue with her.

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 Modbury School P-6.
