English Tutor Paralowie, SA
I think the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is identify and act on the students gaps of knowledge. This is because information is available to the student in the form of teachers and unlimited online resources. A tutor's differentiatory use then becomes identifying a students gap of knowledge and assisting in weak areas…

The most important thing that an english tutor for students is to allow them to work out answers for themselves. Of course, tutors should provide guidance, but they should not merely provide answers. Additionally, I feel that students must be allowed room to make mistakes. A tutor should not be one to apply too much pressure on a student, as too…

I think the best tutor is one who guides the students properly and fairly not only in their academics but also about life challenges. Most importantly an english tutor should be ready to explain a single concept even 10 times to students if they are not able to get that without getting annoyed Well , I'm quite patient which I think is my biggest…

I think that an english tutor must be patient and remain composed with each student.

Primarily, an english tutor needs to be a good listener. Listen the problems of an individual carefully and provide the solution.

I believe that in order for anyone to understand the material being taught - the tutor must begin with the fundamentals and basics; breaking down the information and then ensuring the student is able to explain it back is what I believe works best. This requires patience, which I believe is an essential quality a tutor must maintain in order for…

A tutor needs to help identify a student's strong points and motivate the students in every possible way. It's not always the tutor that should be valued and respected but the students also needs the same respect and care. Also, a tutor should know how to boost up the morale of a student when he/she is feeling low. If student is facing some…

Give moral support and guidance. As a tutor, I don't give answers or solve the student's work, I want them to be able to solve it themselves and use their critical thinking skills with their knowledge of subject content.

The objective is for the student to learn in the most efficient and enjoyable manner. I am a University lecturer and a senior…

Inside Salisbury DownsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Jack worked on applying the distance and midpoint formulas to solve coordinate geometry questions, then moved on to writing equations of straight lines using different forms.

In Year 6, Olivia focused on converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages as well as simplifying fraction answers, practicing with both worded and calculation-based examples.

For a Year 4 session, Emily tackled three-digit subtraction with regrouping and began building confidence through targeted times tables practice.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student working on intersection points for straight lines sometimes relied too heavily on notes, which slowed independent progress.

In Year 9 algebra, he skipped showing steps in indices questions, making it hard to spot small sign errors.

One Year 7 student avoided saying answers aloud during decimals-to-fractions revision—this led to hesitation and second-guessing.

Meanwhile, a primary student facing long worded problems hesitated to attempt them if they looked difficult; as one tutor observed, she froze at the sight of a multi-step question, leading to unfinished practice and missed confidence-building moments.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Salisbury Downs noticed a Year 9 student who had struggled with algebra is now identifying the gradient and y-intercept in linear equations but also using formulas more independently, showing less hesitation before starting problems.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student who used to guess at fraction operations now asks for clarification when stuck and completed their homework with all answers correct—something they hadn't managed previously.

In Year 4, one student who found worded maths problems confusing was able to break them down step by step after practicing new strategies, then solved several on her own without prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I am very happy with how things are going and Zach is lovely so thank you for finding us a great match for Kane

After the first session I gave Matt some feedback about Mia (via Text). Matt was open to my feedback about Mia's learning style, and I feel he listened and implemented during the second session. Mia walked away feeling more confident/ comfortable after the second session.

Tom has been absolutely fantastic very supportive and professional at all times and will definitely recommend EzyMaths in the future.

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 Salisbury Community Hub Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Salisbury Downs Primary School.
