Science Tutor Teringie, SA
From my experience the most important aspect of tutoring is giving the student the confidence to do what they think is right. So much of maths and life is doing what you think is right and then reflecting on the consequences. If you don't have the confidence to take the first step then you won't solve anything. The hardest aspect is giving…

Science Tutor Myrtle Bank, SA
A tutor makes a student feel like even though the work is difficult and deadlines are looming, everything will be okay. The tutor acts as a mentor who helps students to improve their time management and study skills, as well as clarifying difficult points. This makes the student feel reassured about their progress through the course. I like to…

I believe the most crucial role of a tutor is to recognize and cater to the individual needs of each student, ensuring lessons are tailored to their unique learning style. This personalized approach not only aids comprehension but also builds their confidence. It's essential to create a safe environment where students are unafraid to ask questions…

Science Tutor Marryatville, SA
The most important thing a tutor can do is foster courage in a student's ability to learn. A confident student will be more open to approaching learning. I would foster courage by encouraging the student when they use correct techniques, and gently swaying them towards the correct direction when they aren't quite there. I believe my greatest…

The most important thing a tutor can do is clearly communicate a concept or idea to the student, and be patient as everyone absorbs knowledge at different paces. I am friendly and enjoy meeting new people. I also am understanding to students, as everyone is at a different stage in their academic road to achievement. I am punctual and…

According to me, the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is understanding the student's learning style and then modifying the teaching technique according to meet the student's need. It is very important to create a positive and supportive learning environment that should encourage the student to ask questions and make mistakes. As a…

Inside PiccadillyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Daniel worked on adding and subtracting mixed number fractions with different denominators and practised creative writing by focusing on commas and exclamation points.

In Year 10, Alyssia revised titration calculations in chemistry, including using the n = m/M and C Ă— V equations, and balanced chemical equations for her upcoming exam.

For Year 11, Zoe tackled sketching graphs using both x- and y-intercepts as well as the gradient-intercept method to strengthen her understanding of linear functions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student often rushed through algebra problems, showing working that was hard to follow and skipped steps, which made it difficult to catch sign errors and led to repeated mistakes.

In a Year 5 English session, messy handwriting—with capital letters scattered mid-sentence—made some responses confusing even when ideas were clear.

One Year 11 student relied heavily on formula sheets for chemistry calculations instead of recalling processes independently; as noted, "she preferred checking old answers before trying new ones."

After missing key reasoning in geometry tests, a Year 8 learner left several explanations incomplete, which meant losing marks despite knowing the content.

Recent Achievements

One Piccadilly tutor recently noticed a big shift with a Year 11 student who had struggled with titration calculations—by the end of their session, she could complete complex questions independently, having previously needed step-by-step guidance.

A Year 8 student showed new initiative in maths: after once relying heavily on prompts, he now pinpoints his own uncertainties and actively asks targeted questions until he understands, guiding the lesson himself.

In Year 5, a student who used to need reminders for each fraction problem managed several problems in a row independently before asking for help only when truly stuck.

What they say about our tutoring

Rishi is great guy and working well with our son James. We realise it is early days but James is already more confident with his approach towards maths. Thanks for checking in with us. It is appreciated.

Anusheel been tutoring Ramin for a few sessions now and  as you said it will take a few months to notice. However, so far Ramin is happy. He is having his year 11 final exam this week and Anusheel is doing a good Job, thank you.

Hello Erica, Thanks for touching base. Isabella is great. She's gelled really nicely with Meg, who is already saying that for the first time she understands why things are done a certain way, rather than just being told to do it. I'll let you know if any issues arise but at this point I can't see any at this stage. Cheers

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 Stirling Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Crafers Primary School.
