I believe that a tutor should make a student feel safe enough that they ask as many questions as they need to ask in order to fully understand a topic. A tutor should encourage the student to believe in their own abilities and develop the student's confidence to allow them to eventually approach and solve problems on their own. I believe this type…

Science Tutor Salisbury North, SA
For high school students, I find that the most important thing a tutor can do is to build a student's confidence in their own abilities. More often than not, I hear student's say that they don't know what they're doing, which can hold them back from trying their best. It's a fact of psychology that people tend to sabotage their own efforts when…

This involves ensuring that the student is making all the necessary connections within the content so that they have the correct building blocks for further learning. Through this, students can then work on smaller details bit by bit, eventually learning more…

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 see how much more confident Nicholas is with maths, the teachers at school have noticed a difference, and he is eager to do maths now as where before he wasn't. In regards to Wade, well he is just gorgeous. He has built up a great relationship with Nicholas, and he actually waits for Wade each week..  Wade makes it fun, for Nicholas to do maths. Nicholas told me last week, s" when i get a question wrong, Wade makes me remember how to do it with a trick."  I think Wade explains it to him in a way that he understands it. I think Wade is fantastic at what he does and you can tell he loves his maths. cheers.

Thanks for this.The first tutorial seemed to go very well.  Jet was certainly very positive about Josh!

I just wanted to mention this to highlight how good Ming has been. He has been able to maintain Mitchell's learning and interest in Maths were his classroom teacher has failed. So a big thank you to him, and  to you for providing a great tutor.

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.
