English Tutor Ingle Farm, SA
Make them realise that they have the ability to acheive, and helping them unlock that in themselves. My strengths would be in relating to the students, as I am recently out of high school, and understanding how the new SACE system works. My weakness would possibly be with younger children, as it has been a while since I was in the younger years,…

I believe that any tutor or teacher has the potential to shape and inspire a student's future. Certain teachers from my high school years, in particular, my English Literature teachers, have served to inspire and shape me to the person I have become today. Teachers can be very much like a tour guide in a new destination - good teachers open the…

English Tutor Wynn Vale, SA
I believe there are two things that are most important for a tutor. The first is not only knowing what area of help the student is in need of, but understanding why they need help with that, which is then enlightening as a tutor in how they should receive assistance. The second point is to be approachable and kind, so that students feel as though…

I believe that an effective tutor will help the student develop as a learner and problem solver, not only in the subject tutored, and give them lifelong study skills. This is important because the subject and level being tutored is only temporary, whereas people continue gaining and using knowledge for their whole lives. My objective as a tutor is…

As I outlined earlier, a teacher's or a tutor's sole responsibility is not to teach academia, it is to serve as a role model and to help their students grow as people. I think it's so important to treat students as adults, no matter their age, (Of course with a little sensibility applied) and even more importantly as an individual -- to not apply…

As I mentioned previously, not every student is a quick learner, which is why patience is important when tutoring somebody. Rather than getting impatient and forcing the student to try and understand a concept, find a different method of conveying the concept that they may better understand. Furthermore, while patience is important, the student…

Instill confidence in the student about their own ability to learn and achieve their academic goals.

The most important thing is give a student confidence in their own abilities. Without confidence, a student will continue to doubt themselves and struggle whether you are guiding them in their learning or not.

I think the most important thing a tutor can be is patient and supportive. As tutors, we have already completed these subjects, and so we know the 'pressure points' and ways to deal with them. It is our job to pass on this knowledge and help others. If someone is receiving tutoring, most often they are struggling with one or more parts of a topic…

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…

Local Reviews

Alicia, is softly spoken and paced and this appeals to my teen Rose. Alicia picks up when Rose hasn't understood and works to explain it differently until she does. We are very happy with the confidence Rose has gained in maths & the skills she can now apply at school.

Inside Para HillsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Marley focused on three-digit division with remainders and translating between mixed and proper fractions, using number lines to help visualise concepts.

Year 8 student Sam worked through simplifying fractions and placing them accurately on a number line, while also being introduced to improper and mixed fractions for the first time.

For Year 10, Jess practised solving complex algebraic equations and completed short- and long-form multiplication and division problems from her current maths homework.

Recent Challenges

A Year 3 student avoided writing out full working when subtracting with borrowing, leading to confusion—he skipped showing steps in subtraction, which hid where he went wrong.

In Year 8, a reluctance to check answers in long division meant repeated errors were not spotted and fixed.

For a senior student revising calculus, notes showed that formulas were often looked up rather than memorised or derived, slowing progress during problem sets.

After making spelling errors on written responses in English (Year 7), over-reliance on autocorrect left gaps in learning; the result was hesitation when composing without digital aids.

Recent Achievements

A Para Hills tutor noticed one Year 10 student who'd previously avoided writing steps in maths now independently writes each stage before calculating answers, which has helped reduce careless errors.

In a recent high school session, another student made a leap with division: after scoring just 40% on an initial worksheet, they practiced times tables and division patterns, then reached 85% accuracy on the next attempt.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student who used to guess at the time is now confidently working out "quarter past" and "quarter to" questions aloud without prompts—something that took lots of encouragement earlier in the term.

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 Para Hills Community Hub Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Para Hills School.
