Listen to the student's concerns and try to understand the concepts that they have trouble grasping, so that these can be improved. It is important to make the student feel comfortable so that they can reduce their stress levels and enjoy what they are learning I am a confident and sociable person, and easy to relate to. I think that I make people…

Inspire. Not every child enjoys learning the way we need to in society so a teachers and tutors, we need to be able to be creative enough for those individual students who need more guidance. For example I have had a year 3 student who hated english and nearly every subject at school, however he really enjoyed robots. As we were learning…

Modern History Tutor Mansfield Park, SA
Probably one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to provide them with the support and confidence when approaching a subject or concept that they struggle with. Allowing the students to get to the point where they may no longer struggle in that subject. One of my major strengths as a tutor would probably have to be my…

Modern History Tutor Fulham Gardens, SA
Identifying the student's strengths and weaknesses is crucial. I would ensure their strengths are reflected through their work and that we are spending extra time focusing on the weaker areas. As a tutor, you act as the student's moral support, as the subjects they are receiving tutoring for are the subjects they find the most challenging. You are…

Chloe is lovely and my daughter felt comfortable with her from day one. She has done a lot of preparation in her own time too, providing many examples for Chanelle which I did not expect.

Inside Semaphore ParkTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Maddison discussed her struggles with division, fractions, and algebra, and set a goal to improve her grades this year.

Year 10 student worked on expanding and factorising expressions, using practice questions to build confidence.

A Year 11 student focused on calculus by sketching first and second derivatives, clarifying challenging concepts from previous lessons.

Recent Challenges

Several students across Years 3–12 showed organization and process obstacles that impacted progress.

In Year 8, one student was unable to complete homework after misplacing her question sheet; "she lost her questions," noted the tutor, which led to extra time spent catching up in-session instead of extending skills.

A senior student (Year 11) forgot about an upcoming quiz entirely, missing a valuable chance for targeted revision.

Another high schooler frequently relied on mental calculations for circle problems but avoided writing steps—"too much mental maths," observed the tutor—resulting in confusion when signs or sectors were missed mid-problem.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Semaphore Park recently saw a Year 9 student shift from guessing to asking for help when stuck on trigonometry problems—she now talks through her steps aloud and checks her work, which wasn't happening before.

In Year 11, another student began reviewing past quiz mistakes without prompting and now actively requests returned tests to target weak spots.

Meanwhile, one younger primary student who'd struggled with spelling has started bringing homework every week and just achieved her first perfect score on a spelling test after connecting sounds to words during lessons.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We are really happy with Harry, thank you. James is responding really well to him and he Harry has the knowledge and ability to hold the attention of a teenager who generally struggles with focus!

The tutoring with my son Jordan and Remy is going really well things he feels that the tutoring is beneficial and that he is getting a better understanding of the topics. He has the big exam tomorrow but Remy has been very helpful in getting him prepared and after the exam she has identified areas that Jordan needs to work on which is great.

I would just like to say that Reagan was very professional and very reliable.   He was well suited to my daughter for tutoring. She felt very comfortable with him and she did demonstrate  growth with her math. I would definitely recommend Reagan to other people.  The only other thing is that I regret not having done it sooner.

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 West Lakes Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Portside Christian College.
