The most important things a tutor can do for a student is creating lesson plans and methods based around that student. The tutor should also never make a student feel dumb or less capable, but instead should show the students that they have the same capabilities as their peers, it may just take other methods, and concepts that they are not getting…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do is be encouraging towards a student; often students get tutoring in a subject they are struggling in and are already mentally finding it difficult so it is critical a tutor positively encourages them and reminds them of their improvement. It is also very important a tutor listens to the…

We have absolutely loved having Val as our tutor and we have seen improvement in our daughter school work as a result of our sessions.
Kylie, Richmond

Inside RichmondTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Alice explored trigonometry concepts and practised solving linear equations, working through diagrams to visualise problems.

In Year 10, Ethan focused on exam revision by tackling questions on compound interest and financial maths calculations, building confidence with past test examples.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Chloe strengthened her understanding of equivalent fractions and learned to convert between fractions and decimals using step-by-step practice activities.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 maths, one student's notes reveal that unclear assignment instructions and messy written work made it difficult to track what needed to be done; "Sheets and books were quite messy/disorganized—fixing this may help her keep track of instructions and tasks."

Meanwhile, a Year 9 student struggled with extracting information from graphs and tables during probability work, which slowed progress on worded questions.

In Year 7, motivation flagged during new topics, leading to slow starts and forgotten connections between lessons.

For several students across Years 8–10, practice was limited mostly to familiar question types rather than tackling more challenging or unfamiliar problems.

Recent Achievements

One Richmond tutor noticed a big shift in Tia's approach to trigonometry—after struggling with labelling triangle sides in earlier tests, she now identifies hypotenuse, opposite, and adjacent correctly without help, even catching her own mistakes mid-problem.

In another session, Molly brought questions she'd found tough in class and, after some prompting, worked through multi-step worded problems independently—something she hesitated to try on her own before.

Meanwhile, Natalia showed new self-reliance by spotting when she'd missed parts of a maths question and correcting herself before moving on.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Jennifer has been amazing. Lily will miss her weekly sessions - she has learned a lot because of Jennifers quietly persistent style.

The tutoring is going great. Bryce is great and has made a great connection with Ethan. Ethan looks forward to his session and he is already feeling more confident with his maths. Bryce was the perfect choice for Ethan.

aura is doing very well with Sasha and I am very happy with the way she is teaching Sasha.

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 West Torrens Public Library Service—or at your child's school (with permission), like Sports College South Australia - West Adelaide Football Club.
