Sometimes a student needs more than just a physics tutor who can teach him or her difficult contents; they also need someone who can provide them with encouragement and support so they can start believing in their own skills. A tutor can come up with millions of strategies to apply in order to deliver a lesson, but it'll be worthless if you don't…

As I alluded to earlier, I think the student's enjoyment is extremely important. That's not to say that they should be having fun at the expense of gaining knowledge, much the contrary; I think the best way for a student to gain knowledge that will last beyond the next test or exam is to have it conveyed in such a way that they take a genuine…

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 a physics 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…

The things I considered to be the most important in a physics tutor is to help their students understand the concepts rather than giving them the answers, in this way when they are sitting the exams they know what they are doing. And be successful in the real world, when there are no tutor for them. It would be the topics that I am not quite…

For high school students, I find that the most important thing a physics 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…

I believe the most important thing a physics tutor can do for a student is to give them the confidence to never stop trying to learn despite few low moments. I personally, encourage students to ask even the most basic questions which come across their mind and to never feel ashamed of wanting to learn more or being curious. In my opinion,…

One of the most important things that a physics tutor can do for their student is to understand where they do and do not lack in understanding. One way to think of it is like a flower. When nurturing it is important to give it the right amount of water, light and nutrients so that it can grow. If any of these needs is lacking or given an excess it…

Watching my child's confidence improve as she develops her Math skills has been very rewarding.

Inside SmithfieldTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Sam worked on five-digit place value and expanded notation, then practised addition and subtraction with three-digit numbers through worded problems.

Year 8 student Liam revised lines and angles—including exterior angles of triangles—and solved practice geometry questions before being introduced to congruence rules for triangles.

For Year 10, Ava focused on solving quadratic equations by factorising and finding roots, as well as simplifying quadratics using the difference of squares formula.

Recent Challenges

In Year 12, leaving research assignments until the last minute meant one student had little time to select articles or polish work; as a tutor noted, "the opportunity to absorb learning is limited." Relying on session time rather than independent preparation also slowed progress in English.

In Year 10 Science, forgetting materials (like textbooks and test papers) made it impossible to review key topics together.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student often skipped practicing unfamiliar multiplication tables for homework—leading to gaps when tackling worded problems.

When written steps were skipped in Year 8 algebra, sign errors crept in unnoticed.

Recent Achievements

A Smithfield tutor noticed Chelsea, a Year 10 student, now regularly asks for clarification on complex equations instead of staying silent when stuck—a big shift from her earlier sessions where she hesitated to speak up.

Meanwhile, Caitlin in Year 9 has started tackling challenging geometry problems independently and even requested extra variations to practice after mastering the basics.

In a recent primary session, one younger student who used to guess at multi-digit addition is now verbalising each step out loud and checking their own work before moving on.

Last week, Caitlin attempted all elimination method questions solo and finished them correctly.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We have been impressed by Callum's diligent approach to helping Georgina, his wit and time flexibility have made things as easy as possible for her. With warm regards.

Just wanted to drop you a line to let you know how happy we have been with Sigrid  who has now had 4 sessions with our son, Andreas. She is a very caring and enthusiastic young lady who, over a short period of time, has built a lovely rapport with Andreas. In turn, Andreas feels very comfortable with her and looks forward to the sessions. Sigrid's competence and the commitment she displays are commendable and have resulted in a noticeable improvement in Andreas's confidence and his motivation towards maths. Many thanks for sending her our way.

Thank you for your email... I would also like to thank you for sending Angela to tutor Claudia. She is fantastic and is really helping Claudia and Claudia is very happy to have her as her 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 Playford Civic Centre Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Blakeview Primary School.
