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…

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 any tutor or teacher has the potential to shape and inspire a student's future.

Teachers can be very much like a tour guide in a new destination - good teachers open the…

Be patient with them when they're learning. Allow themselves to be open to questions and concerns the student may have, but most of all, support them with their studies.

The best things that a mentor can give his/her students are life long skills and strategies.

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…

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 am compassionate, good at explaining things in multiple ways, and creative. I believe that to be a tutor you have to be creative, as the…

Instill confidence in the student about their own ability to learn and achieve their academic goals. The tutor should tailor their approach to the needs of each student. - Not everyone learns the same way and the tutor should be prepared to be creative in the ways he or she teaches core concepts or content. Offer something unique! - Rather…

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…

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.

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…

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 Hills WestTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Chloe practiced **simplifying fractions** and worked on comparing and ordering fractions using visual number lines.

Year 7 student Ali focused on **solving algebraic equations** and completed maths homework involving both short and long multiplication and division methods.

For Year 9, Ethan revised **area and perimeter calculations** by tackling a mix of worded problems and practice questions from school homework.

Recent Challenges

A Year 7 student repeatedly forgot to complete assigned homework, particularly for fractions and time problems; as a tutor noted, "forgets to do homework," which led to missing vital practice between sessions.

In Year 10 algebra, confusion with rearranging formulae became apparent when steps were forgotten or skipped—resulting in errors that compounded across questions.

A Year 5 student sometimes hid mistakes by erasing working instead of reviewing them, especially in subtraction exercises. These patterns left gaps unaddressed and created frustration during lessons when previous content needed re-teaching before moving forward.

Recent Achievements

One Para Hills West tutor noted a Year 9 student who used to avoid asking for help now speaks up when stuck on algebra, showing more independence.

A Year 7 student who'd struggled with division moved from scoring 40% to 85% on worksheets after regular practice and now attempts harder problems without prompting.

Meanwhile, a primary student recently began reading aloud and spotting her own mistakes—a shift from last term, when she would read quietly and skip tricky words.

Last session, she chose to read the next chapter out loud on her own initiative.

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 High School.
