Info Processing Tutor Rostrevor, SA
A tutor should take their time with a student and make sure the student understands before moving on. I believe the purpose of tutoring should be to provide learning strategies that are specific to the individual in contrast with teaching in a classroom (at the pace of the class). A tutor should provide multiple strategies for learning. For…

Inside ParacombeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Marley revised mean, median, and mode in statistics, then worked through histograms using real data sets.

In Year 9, Jay tackled algebraic expansion with the distributive law and FOIL rule before moving on to factorising by finding common factors.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Olivia focused on linear equations—drawing graphs from y-intercept and slope—and also practised solving for x and y in various contexts.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student, when using a scientific calculator for equations, seemed confused about entering formulas and which operations to prioritise, leading to hesitation and errors in multi-step problems.

In Year 10 algebra lessons, one student avoided writing out working—he preferred doing everything at once on the calculator, which made it hard to spot where mistakes crept in, especially with negatives.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student grew frustrated after small errors; as noted, he didn't realise he was actually improving by making and reviewing mistakes. Confidence slipped each time a sign error reappeared during fractions practice.

Recent Achievements

One Paracombe tutor noticed a real shift with a Year 10 student who, after previously hesitating when faced with unfamiliar algebra questions, began attempting new problems independently and corrected his own mistakes without prompting.

In another session, a Year 9 student who used to confuse percentage mark-ups and mark-offs started distinguishing between the two more reliably after targeted practice, showing clearer reasoning during finance exercises.

Meanwhile, in primary school, a younger student who struggled to show her working has now started writing her answers in clear steps each time, finishing all ten problems without skipping any part of her process.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Ashleigh is really enjoying the help Sunny is giving her & is starting to feel more confident within herself. Apparently even her teacher has remarked on her improvement. Ashleigh is keen to continue tutoring for the rest of the year. Sunny is a great tutor & matched perfectly with Ashleigh.

A quick note to advise you that we have already been pleasantly surprised with Liam's current test result. Josh is doing a great job, and the Liam is responding well. In fact , for the first time ever, Liam has surpassed his twin brother in a Maths exam.

Shannon did really well with her entrance exam and it was for that reason I contacted you. Her confidence has doubled since her tutoring with Daniel began, so for that I am truly grateful. Daniel was a great tutor who related well to Shannon. He has taught her some valuable strategies. He is also a lovely boy so he deserves a lot of credit. Thank you for the organised way you delivered the service. I have recommended your company to others so hopefully you will hear from them.

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 City of Tea Tree Gully Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Paracombe Primary and Preschool.
