The most important qualities are patience and compassion.

I feel a tutor must be able to invoke a sense of interest and joy in a students minds for the subject they teach. As a tutor, you are someone who has studied the subject beforehand and are more knowledgeable about the subject than a student who is just starting out. This makes it difficult for tutors to reach their maximum potential while teaching…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to get a proper understanding of the level of mathematical 'maturity' of a specific student, rather than just assuming a certain background knowledge. Once this is established, it's possible to get the core of what exactly a student is struggling with (usually a particular fundamental concept) and…

Excellent, ongoing communication & a great first experience with our son's Year 12 tutor. We look forward to the rest of this journey.
Heather Goode, Mount Osmond

Inside Mount OsmondTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Lucy worked on consolidating her understanding of index laws and practiced adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions.

In Year 10, Divyanshu tackled differentiating simple rational functions using first principles in Maths and focused on stoichiometry and unit conversions like %w/v and mol/L in Chemistry.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Zac reviewed tricky chain rule questions before learning the product rule in differentiation, then moved to Chemistry to deepen his grasp of chromatography concepts such as Rf values and retention time.

Recent Challenges

In Year 12 Chemistry, one student's written responses often lacked precise terminology and structure when explaining solubility or drawing organic molecules. As a tutor noted, "He struggles to view the entire problem and develop a 'game plan' before tackling a question," which led to confusion in multi-step tasks like titrations or back titration calculations.

In Year 8 Maths, another student hesitated to write out full working for negative numbers or complex fractions—sometimes only attempting parts they felt confident with—making it difficult to identify where misunderstandings occurred during revision sessions.

Recent Achievements

A Mount Osmond tutor noticed Zac, a Year 9 student who previously struggled to write at length, completed an entire essay on his own and soon after scored an A on his English assignment—he's now identifying weak points in his writing without prompting.

Meanwhile, Divyanshu in senior high school chemistry has moved from needing support with ionic equations to independently solving unfamiliar problems and accurately suggesting chemical reagents during practice.

In a younger session, Lucy started tackling fraction questions she once avoided and now applies index laws with minimal help, even asking for extra practice when unsure.

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 Burnside Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Seymour College.
