Psychology Tutor Windsor Gardens, SA
I believe that it is crucial to be adaptive as a tutor as every student is different and may require different tools to help them learn, I also believe this is where being creative will assist me as I can come up with creative solutions to help students in understanding. Patient, creative and understanding as well as being…

Therese

Psychology Tutor Paradise, SA
I consider the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to ultimately inspire them in a love of learning and hopefully pass onto them capsules of knowledge which are priceless. My strengths as a tutor are to challenge the pupils to think abstractly about language and harness the true power it possesses. I love hearing the pupil's own…

Adam

Psychology Tutor Ottoway, SA
As someone who studied Psychology for years, I can say that I did so because I had an excellent teacher for the subject in high school. My English teacher was also very nurturing despite my poor performance and that was an important experience for me. That encapsulates what I think is one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student:…

Our daughter seems to respond well to Adam and even though it's still early days she is much more confident! Thanks

Inside North AdelaideTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Ruby practised finding the area of triangles and tackled worded problems by learning when to apply different formulas.

In Year 10, James focused on solving trigonometric equations using the sine and cosine rules, and explored angles of elevation and depression through example questions.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Chloe worked on financial maths skills such as calculating house loans with variable interest rates and used a calculator to solve for unknown variables in simple scenarios.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10, one student's tendency to "rely on a calculator too much" during algebra meant slower progress in mental arithmetic; as noted, linking methods between similar questions required explicit prompting.

Meanwhile, a senior secondary student preparing for Specialist Maths struggled with writing clear working—"be careful with signs and how they interact," their tutor warned after several sign errors in trigonometric proofs.

In Year 6, forgetting to bring psychology notes to sessions led to lost revision time.

During primary maths, shyness about speaking up made it difficult to assess understanding—confidence wavered when counting aloud.

Recent Achievements

One North Adelaide tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 11 student who, after struggling to work independently, is now completing most questions solo—including graphs—without needing prompts.

In a recent session, a Year 8 student remembered key formulas for surface area and broke down problems step-by-step, showing much stronger recall than in previous weeks.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student who used to guess at answers now stops to ask for help when unsure and has started attempting larger addition problems without hesitation. Last week, this younger learner even read out the full word list before being asked.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I have some results to report. Wari has sat three tests in the last week or so, the results are: Maths - 95.5%; Chemistry - 100%; Economics - 77% (no coaching in this subject). We are very happy with these results, especially the chemistry one as she has had the most trouble with that subject. Last week, before the Friday chemistry test they did two hours on chemistry, she found the lessons very hard, but the following test very straight forward. In the maths test, she actually did all the calculations correctly but lost marks for rounding an answer incorrectly and rounding a couple of other answers when she shouldn't have! We are very happy with Alexander's teaching, although we are not sitting in the room, he sounds very clear and concise. Another very important thing to consider  is that she is very happy with her results and is gaining more self confidence, and, I think, is generally more relaxed and happy with life.

More importantly, I want to let you know that Hannah, Peter and I are very happy with Phal - she's super smart, friendly and a great communicator.  She's lifted Hannah's confidence within a few short weeks and, circumstances permitting, we look forward to a long and productive tutoring association with her.

I am 100% satisfied with your company and Rick, Alanahs tutor. I will definately call on you if the need arises again and won't hesitate in recommending you if anyone I know required tutoring services.

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 Adelaide City Libraries - Tynte Street—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Dominic's Priory College.
