Modern History Tutor Littlehampton, SA
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. I feel that as a tutor, your core responsibility is to place the needs of the child first, and do whatever you can to fulfill these needs, even if it does involve putting in…

Inside OakbankTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Sophie practised short multiplication and division strategies, then explored equivalent fractions and how to simplify them using visual examples.

In Year 9, Liam worked on solving right-angled triangle problems with SOH CAH TOA and applied Pythagoras' theorem to composite shapes.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Alex focused on algebraic factorisation of polynomials and reviewed graphing linear equations, linking these skills to upcoming class assessments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student often jumped straight to answers in algebra and trigonometry, skipping the step of writing out known information—"he tends to try to jump to the answer immediately without considering the steps," noted a tutor. This habit made it hard for him to spot errors or adapt when questions changed slightly in tests.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student struggled with showing reasoning on geometry problems; she knew the method but hesitated to write explanations, leading to missed marks on multistep tasks.

In both cases, important connections and clarity were lost when working wasn't clearly set out.

Recent Achievements

One Oakbank tutor noticed a Year 11 student who, after struggling with complex algebraic questions last week, managed to break down challenging problems on his own and now works through test-style questions with noticeably more speed and accuracy.

In another high school session, a student independently solved a derivation problem using only textbook guidance—just weeks prior he'd hesitated to try without step-by-step help. This time, he showed independent problem-solving skills.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who previously guessed at times tables now confidently uses strategies like finger-counting and checks her answers herself; last lesson she filled out several rows of the chart without prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We are very happy with the tutoring and our tutor is very good with my children. They are really enjoying it and this speaks volumes as they were both very opposed to the idea!

Sahm has been an excellent teacher and we are very happy as to the way he works with our daughter.

Connor is really enjoying the sessions with James and finds him very helpful. He says James can explain things very clearly and is helping him get through his work and study more efficiently. He has a maths exam this week and is feeling more confident already.

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 Woodside District Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Oakbank School.
