Important things a tutor can do for a student is simply to believe in them and to encourage them when they start feeling disparaged. I believe I have great patience when it comes to tutoring and I can break concepts down…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do are to build the student’s confidence, create a supportive learning environment, and teach them how to learn independently. It’s not just about solving problems for them, it’s about giving them the tools and strategies to tackle challenges on their own. A tutor should motivate students,…

The most important thing would be impacting knowledge and mentoring the students at the same time. Also making students to enjoy academics rather than seeing some subjects as stumbling blocks to their educational prospects. Ability to explain ideas, patience with slow learners and the ability to carry all students along during tutoring. I also…

The best things that a mentor can give his/her students are life long skills and strategies. Academic knowledge is one thing however being able to know how to handle other different learning problem is something that the students can take with them for a long time (eg; time management, self discipline, problem solving skills) I believe my…

The most important thing is for a tutor to help a student understand the concepts, rather than giving them answers, to help them towards understanding the work independently. I consider myself to be patient with my students as they learn at their own speeds, while providing them with the path to find the answer…

The most important thing that a tutor can do is teach them to learn. Not everyone learns the same way so we should identify the childrens strength and cater to their needs so that they can become good independent learners in the future My biggest strength as a tutor is patience. Every child learns at a different pace and it's important to slow…

Inside Penfield GardensTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Amelia worked on understanding the perimeter and circumference of irregular shapes, as well as finding the area of kites and diamonds using visual breakdowns.

Year 9 student Oliver tackled linear equations by exploring slopes—including parallel, perpendicular, zero, and undefined cases—while also completing assignment questions on parabolic graphs.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Emily focused on probability lines and calculating basic probabilities through real-world scenarios to reinforce these concepts.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student often left assignment work, such as research projects and note-taking for English texts, until the last minute; this meant "the opportunity to absorb learning is limited" and class time was spent catching up rather than polishing skills.

In Year 10 mathematics, a student skipped written steps in equations—"he tended to skip steps and not explain them"—making it hard to catch errors before moving on.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student regularly forgot essential materials for both biology and English sessions; missing resources meant planned activities couldn't be completed, causing frustration when progress stalled mid-lesson.

Recent Achievements

One Penfield Gardens tutor saw a big shift in a Year 10 student who used to rush through algebra, often making careless errors—this time, he took the lead in thinking out loud and double-checking his steps, resulting in cleaner solutions.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student who previously hesitated to ask for help during English lessons has started voicing her questions and even caught a mistake made by the tutor.

In primary sessions, one student working on multiplication mastered using finger beats as her own technique after struggling with traditional methods and now confidently completes times tables drills without freezing up when faced with new numbers.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We are very happy with Teresa, Katia feels very comfortable and is enjoying the tutoring.

We have had our introductory session with Rachel and we were very pleased on Saturday. Tommi is also very happy with Rachel.  They built a rapport and I believe it will work.

We are very happy with Darius' tutoring of John and would like the tutoring to continue.

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 Playford Civic Centre Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Angle Vale Primary School.
