Physics Tutor Nairne, SA
I think that an important thing for a physics tutor to do is to be available, even if it be through technology or in person. As a student, I understand that sometimes it may just be a singular question that gets you down, or in other cases an entire unit. Hence, being able to support all circumstances is imperative. Another important factor is…

Physics Tutor Mount Barker, SA
As a student myself I believe it is vital to have a level of understanding and patience when assisting with a child's learning as this develops a safe and healthy learning environment. Aside from my extensive understanding of mathematics and physics, I believe that my personal attributes of empathy, and strong listening and communication skills…

Physics Tutor Mount Barker, SA
The most important thing a physics tutor can do for a student is ensure they understand what they are doing. As a result it is crucial for a tutor to prepare the correct material for the student. It is crucial that a tutor guides the student rather than just helping them get their homework done. Teach a man to fish and he has food for the rest of…

Inside PetwoodTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Sydney worked on building confidence with multiplication and division using textbooks and worksheets, then moved to fraction fundamentals and equivalence, including representing fractions on number lines.

Year 9 student Josh focused on algebraic manipulation, tackling more challenging problems involving multiplication, division, and common factors before revising trigonometry basics such as SOH CAH TOA through both written examples and visual aids.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Sophie concentrated on calculus skills by practising differentiation from first principles for functions involving square roots, alongside revision of integration techniques applied to definite integrals with unknown limits.

Recent Challenges

A Year 3 student working on fractions and decimals showed confusion when converting between representations, sometimes misidentifying 1/4 as 0.33, which slowed progress in related tasks. As one tutor noted, "she kept thinking it was 0.33 rather than 0.25."

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student tackling algebraic worded problems often struggled to translate scenarios into equations under time pressure, making multi-step solutions harder to construct and check for accuracy.

In senior maths (Year 12), difficulty arose when attempting unseen problem types without first reviewing underlying principles—this led to repeated revisiting of similar errors during practice exams.

Recent Achievements

One Petwood tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student who, after struggling with integration techniques, began exam revision early and managed to tackle complex integration problems by independently rearranging expressions—something she hesitated to attempt before.

Another high schooler made a real shift in his approach to algebra: last week he needed reminders for key steps, but this session he took on feedback and completed challenging questions without prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger student who used to guess when unsure now actively asks for help with times tables and checks her own work; today she filled out the multiplication chart up to 11 entirely on her own.

Albert is a very nice guy, polite, thorough and a good tutor, I personally would hire him again.

We have found Matthew to be very delightful, knowledgeable and easy to work with, everything is going fine.

Paris has been fantastic and has assisted Charlotte bridge the gap with her maths and had a positive result on her end of year school report and we wish to thank her so very much.

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 Mount Barker Community Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Nairne School - Preschool and Primary.
