Science Tutor Mount Barker, SA
As a student myself I believe it is vital to have a level of understanding and patience when assisting with a child's learning as this develops a safe and healthy learning environment. Aside from my extensive understanding of mathematics and physics, I believe that my personal attributes of empathy, and strong listening and communication skills…

Science Tutor Blakiston, SA
I think that an important thing for a tutor to do is to be available, even if it be through technology or in person. As a student, I understand that sometimes it may just be a singular question that gets you down, or in other cases an entire unit. Hence, being able to support all circumstances is imperative. Another important factor is that…

We have been really happy so far and I can see it making a real difference to Annabelle's confidence. Josh is just lovely and very encouraging so we are really pleased.

Inside Mount BarkerTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Sophie focused on multiplying large numbers and building confidence with times tables, as well as tackling equivalent fractions and worded fraction problems using games for reinforcement.

Year 7 student Annabelle worked through interpreting probability worksheets from school and practiced creating graphs from tables, then extracting data to answer questions.

Sydney, also in Year 4, strengthened her multiplication and division skills using targeted worksheets and explored fractional equivalence, including representing fractions on number lines.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often felt overwhelmed by multi-step maths questions, sometimes giving up quickly if too much information was presented.

In algebra tasks, "she skipped reading the full question and missed key details," leading to avoidable mistakes.

During a senior fractions lesson, another student rushed through calculations without checking their work, resulting in repeated errors with decimal conversions.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student was reluctant to finish homework when tired but completed it with encouragement.

For one Year 9 learner, seeking constant reassurance slowed progress—each answer was checked before moving on.

When tiredness hit after school events, focus drifted and working became inconsistent.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Mount Barker noticed Jay has started catching his own mistakes during division without prompting—last term he'd often just guess and move on.

Sophie, also in high school, showed real initiative by preparing her own revision cheat sheet before the lesson even began, something she hadn't tried previously.

In primary sessions, Annabelle moved from hesitating over multi-step word problems to quickly breaking them down and explaining her reasoning out loud.

Jay wrapped up by tackling all ten times tables rows independently for the first time this term.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Richard is a really lovely young man. He is very patient and good at explaining concepts. He is working really well with Annah and I think even in the 3 weeks we have had so far her understanding and confidence is growing.

Since Diali has started working with Brendan I have seen her motivation to engage in maths skyrocket. Prior, it took a great deal of coaxing to get her to do her homework, let alone to do anything extra relating to maths. Brendan has provided Diali with cause for a notable increase in her enthusiasm, sense of being encouraged, confidence and her incentive to work on her maths. She completes Brendan's assigned homework with enthusiasm (except when she is too tired at the end of the day) and she is practicing her times-tables with less resistance! She is looking forward to her next maths tutorial with Brendan. Brendan has a gentle, helpful and very supportive approach and he relates superwell to children. We are really so happy to have the support of Brendan as Diali's tutor.

We're proud of our son is achieving better results and thanks to a good tutor also who's I believe showing him the way also.

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 Mount Barker Community Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Cornerstone College.
