In my opinion, being a person that students are comfortable with to reach out for help is one of the most important things. A tutor should be there to assist them, not add stress or pressure to them. I also think it is important for tutors to motivate the students to learn, instead of just giving answers, and in motivating them, tutors should be…

The most important thing is trust that both tutor and student should have on each other. An ease of asking questions and making mistakes is another very important thing. Its okay to make mistakes but if your student is afraid of you , they would never ask questions and will be afraid to make mistakes so the tutor will never be able to…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be compassionate and assess their situation and help them navigate through the problems they are facing. Secondly, I'd say is to impart knowledge to the student as this is his/her base and thus it needs to be strengthened and help them realize their dreams and guide them to it. One of my…

Inside Payneham SouthTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Pranavi worked on multiplying and dividing decimals by 10, 100, and 1000 as well as solving worded questions involving fractions and reviewing area and perimeter of quadrilaterals with decimals.

In Year 8, Milly tackled converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages along with practising division and order of operations.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Harrison focused on solving quadratic equations using the null factor law in preparation for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student sometimes avoided writing out steps when working with algebraic expressions, which led to confusion about signs and coefficients—"she wrote 3y as 3 + y," a tutor noted, causing calculation errors.

In Year 7, one student's maths book showed layout issues: answers were jumbled and place value columns not lined up during grid multiplication, making it hard to spot mistakes until much later.

Meanwhile, a primary student hesitated to answer worded questions in English, often skipping them or providing only brief responses; this meant missed opportunities for feedback and growth in comprehension skills.

Recent Achievements

One Payneham South tutor noticed Milly now self-corrects her mistakes when working with algebraic expressions—last week, she spotted and fixed an error without prompting, something she hesitated to do before.

In a recent high school maths session, Harrison started showing all his steps for trigonometry problems after previously skipping working out; he even remembered the equations for sine and cosine with less guidance than usual.

Meanwhile, in primary English, Naba has begun tracing numbers 2–4 and 6–9 independently instead of waiting for direction—a real change from earlier lessons where she needed step-by-step help.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Domenic has only had one session with Alvin, but he thinks he is 'awesome'. He likes the tips and tricks Alvin explains for solving maths problems. He's not keen on tutorials over holidays so will continue with more weekly lessons starting next week.

I am very happy with Aston. Joshua loved him and Aston is a great role Josh. Aston will be coming over for the second tutoring lesson tomorrow and I am pretty sure everything will work out perfectly.

We had one lesson with Taruka, she is lovely and Isabella enjoyed it. With school holiday and long weekend we haven't managed another but will definitely be starting up next week again.

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 Payneham Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Joseph's School.
