It is super important for children to feel like they are doing well, and making progress. I think that as a tutor, encouragement is the most important tool that a tutor can use. If the students are not encouraged, they will no longer be motivated to keep trying, and will therefore not improve. My biggest strength as a tutor is my patience. This…

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…

The single most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to help them build confidence in their own abilities to learn and overcome challenges. By helping grow and nurture this sense of confidence, a tutor can give a student the tools that they need to learn not only the subject they are working on, but also other subjects and skill or…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is ensure they understand what they are doing. As a result it is crucial for a tutor to prepare the correct material for the student. It is crucial that a tutor guides the student rather than just helping them get their homework done. Teach a man to fish and he has food for the rest of his…

I believe a tutor should foster a positive learning environment for a student, in which the student feels comfortable discussing any issues they are having with the tutor.

Inside Mount Barker SpringsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Sydney focused on building multiplication skills using worksheets and textbooks, then tackled fraction fundamentals including equivalence and representing fractions on a number line.

Year 6 student Sophie reviewed vertical addition and subtraction from a recent test, practised multi-step worded problems to improve comprehension, and reinforced strategies for multiplying large numbers through layout techniques and times tables games.

Meanwhile, Jay (Year 5) concentrated on mental maths strategies to boost times tables fluency, worked with division by 4, and used playing cards for engaging multiplication practice.

Recent Challenges

A Year 6 student found it hard to concentrate during lessons after busy school days or sports, which meant some homework was left incomplete or rushed—one tutor noted, "She was reluctant to finish her homework because she was tired."

In Year 8 maths, skipping over careful reading of worded questions led to avoidable mistakes and confusion about what the task required.

For a Year 9 lesson on area and enlargement, hesitation and low confidence saw her giving up quickly when problems seemed overwhelming; this made it difficult to attempt new strategies or check answers thoroughly.

Recent Achievements

In a Year 10 session, Jay moved from making frequent errors in division to consistently spotting and correcting his own mistakes—something he struggled with before.

Meanwhile, Sophie (Year 9) surprised herself by starting her own revision notes before the lesson began, showing initiative she hadn't shown previously.

With a younger student, Sydney (Year 4), there's been real growth in tackling worded maths problems; after hesitating at first, she now breaks down questions independently and finished all the set fraction problems on her own this week.

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 Mount Barker Waldorf School.
