Melinda
Tutor Blakiston, SA
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…

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…

Tutor Littlehampton, SA
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…

Local Reviews
Inside Mount Barker SummitTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 4 Sydney focused on building confidence with multiplication and division using textbook exercises, then strengthened her understanding of fractions, including equivalence and representing fractions on a number line.
Year 7 Sophie worked through challenging multi-step word problems, improved accuracy with vertical addition and subtraction, and later tackled large-number multiplication using layout strategies for clarity.
For Year 8 Jay, recent sessions reinforced times tables fluency through games and worksheets while also introducing key skills in dividing by single-digit numbers and working with simple probability questions.
Recent Challenges
In Year 4, one student's reluctance to finish homework was noticeable after a tiring day—she eventually completed it with encouragement, but initial resistance meant valuable practice time was lost.
For a Year 7 learner, "she needs to work on her neatness which will help with these mistakes," especially when aligning numbers for place value or graphing; messy layout led to repeated calculation errors and extra corrections.
In Year 10 maths, skipping full question reading and rushing through multi-step problems resulted in missed marks on worded questions.
Moments of low confidence left another senior student second-guessing correct answers rather than building fluency.
Recent Achievements
A tutor in Mount Barker Summit noticed Sydney moving from hesitation with worded maths problems to breaking them down on her own and confidently solving more complex multiplication questions—she now chooses harder problems without prompting.
In a recent high school session, Jay showed real growth by spotting his own mistakes during division work, pausing to correct himself rather than waiting for help, which hadn't happened before.
Sophie, also in high school, came prepared for her test by making her own revision notes ahead of time—a big shift from previously relying on the tutor's guidance.
