In my opinion, it's most important to help students to understand basic concepts and theories when tutoring them. With these knowledge, students will have confidence to overcome problems and hardness in Maths by themselves. For the past two years, I have tutored several students in Physics and Maths, especially Math Methods year 11 and 12.…

It is very important as a tutor to understand your student. Be his silent friend and connect with him.

Each student is different and so is the method of teaching. Teaching…

Inside RidleytonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Olivia worked on converting between kilometres, metres, centimetres, and millimetres as well as tackling worded problems that required choosing the right mathematical operation.

In Year 8, Ethan practised expanding algebraic brackets and applied the difference of two squares formula to a range of examples.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Ava focused on solving quadratic equations and calculating the distance between two points using coordinate geometry methods.

Recent Challenges

Repeatedly forgetting to complete homework limited the chance to apply lesson feedback and slowed progress with algebra for a Year 7 student.

In Year 10, messy or cramped working in tests led to sign errors that weren't spotted until marking. She could consider spacing out her writing, which would help her see things clearer.

A senior student didn't use written notes efficiently for revision, so key formulae were missed in problem-solving. When a test was upcoming, she did not alert the tutor in advance, missing out on targeted preparation support.

Recent Achievements

A Ridleyton tutor noticed a real shift with Athena, a Year 10 student, who recently moved from hesitating on worded algebra problems to solving them efficiently and even scored 87% on her latest test—her highest yet.

In another session, Valentina in Year 8 began proactively writing down her thought process during homework instead of waiting for hints, helping her secure full marks.

Meanwhile, Natalia in primary school is now confidently breaking down multi-step worded maths questions and independently selecting the correct operations, something she struggled with just weeks ago.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Agnes quickly determined the areas that we could see Charlotte was struggling with. It was lovely to see Charlotte's body language change during the course of the first session from slumped over looking disinterested to sitting up and engaging with Agnes by the end of the hour. I had never seen her like that when we have sat down to do maths before. I knew that I lacked the strategies to give to Charlotte and Agnes is certainly showing her these patiently and with the support she needed.

Yes very happy with Phoebe she is a wonderful tutor & very pleasant towards my girls  they feel at ease with her as she explains all maths concepts in the simplest of forms (much to the delight. of my daughter Phoebe who said she's learned/understood a lot more in the last three weeks than she had learned all of last year) &  she's building up their confidence to have a more positive outlook when approaching their maths homework!

I just got back from the US this morning we are very happy with Rhett and Connor has really clicked with him and his teaching methods. Under Rhetts tutoring Connor managed to go from a fail to a C+ 65% on his resit after only two sessions with Rhett so a great achievement if we had the ability to have more sessions with Rhett we would happily take them.

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 Hindmarsh Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Australian Islamic College Adelaide.
