Physics Tutor Carey Gully, SA
The roll of a physics tutor is two-fold. Firstly, to help students understand the material they are working with. There are many ways to go about this, but one of the most important roles of a tutor is to be able to bring intuition to the abstract. This in addition to introducing effective methods for solving problems. The second key roll is…

Kimberley

Physics Tutor Nairne, SA
I think that an important thing for a physics 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…

Physics Tutor Aldgate, SA
I think that some tutors get caught up in focusing solely on the work in front of them and miss out on teaching younger students about the life in front of them. Instead of doing more work, tutors should provide organisation tips and possible strategies they can put in place to improve the quality of their work. Also, forming close relationships…

Physics Tutor Littlehampton, SA
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…

We have been really happy so far and I can see it making a real difference to Annabelle's confidence. Josh is just lovely and very encouraging so we are really pleased.

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 and have been very impressed by Kamran. He has a really lovely nature, is kind, encouraging and very professional. Daneeka finds him very easy to follow and understand and really enjoys her lesson with him every week and already is improving. I would most definitely recommend him to anyone that needs a wonderful maths tutor.

My son Joshua had Tu as a tutor and he had great results. He responded well to Tu as a teacher, his marks improved and he gained confidence through the tutoring.

We were very happy with your company and my daughter's tutor, Daniel. There was an obvious improvement in my daughter's performance and attitude towards maths as reflected in her end of year report.

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.
