Ancient History Tutor Littlehampton, SA
Help them build confidence to believe they can succeed. Being able to explain topic areas in different ways, using plain language to help them understand. I also strongly believe in teaching students core study skills to build structure to their problem…

Sarah has been really supportive of my daughters learning. I can see her confidence with maths develop. I love just knowing she is getting the extra support she needs every week.

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.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thank you for the report. We are very happy with Kim's approach and way of teaching . Yejeena is very responsive to her and enjoying her learning. She has become more confident in school and starting to put her hand up to answer questions when her teacher asks questions from the the class. It seems to us that , Kim also is enjoying working with Yejee and very happy with Yejee's attitude toward her extra study hours after school.

Both Ashleigh and myself are very happy with Duncan. Ashleigh is already feeling much more confident and I believe that she will progress steadily.

Tutoring with Robert is going extremely well. Robert has an excellent way of explaining concepts and Tara and Ethan are already feeling more confident with their maths.

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.
