Modern History Tutor Glenside, SA
I believe the most powerful way a tutor can aid a student is by giving them confidence. More than often, students can show more vulnerability in a one-on-one session than in a classroom surrounded by their peers, and so the best thing I can do is use these private sessions to impart confidence in the students by making them see ways they can…

The most important thing a tutor can do for their student is to accommodate their learning style. Students have ranging techniques and motivations when learning content. Personally, I struggled with auditory learning as a student, and would therefore ask my teachers to give me a range of tactile learning techniques to assist in my learning. I…

A tutor must be patient, flexible, honest and attentive. It is important that tutors do not give students the answer directly but allows the student to discover the answer with extra guidance. The ultimate goal of tutoring is to help students become independent learners. A tutor must be willing to adapt to different situations and learning…

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

Expanding on what I have written earlier, I think that one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is be prepared, and always willing to learn. I think this requires being a bit humble, and accepting that, even with something that may appear to be far below the tutor's learning, there may still be things that aren't known or have…

The most important things I can do for a student, is to put myself in their shoes when teaching. Often some students take longer to understand, comprehend or apply the knowledge taught.

Inside St GeorgesTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 12 student Divyanshu focused on Stage 2 Chemistry topics such as **stoichiometry**, unit conversions, and chromatography (including Rf values and retention time), while in Mathematical Methods worked through differentiation techniques like chain rule, product rule, quotient rule, and applications to ln(x) and e^x using examples.

Year 11 Lucy revised **index laws**, worked with fractional indices including negative powers converted to surds, and practiced simplifying algebraic expressions with BEDMAS.

For Year 6 maths, Maja revisited linear relations from the basics—covering **gradient calculation** (rise over run), forms of y = mx + c, and graphing functions after missing two weeks of content.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Chemistry, a student repeatedly struggled to draw accurate organic structures, such as esters and carbohydrates—"he attached the oxygen to the wrong carbon," one tutor noted—making it difficult to score full marks in written responses.

Meanwhile, in senior Maths, another student often forgot to substitute values back into original equations when finding stationary points, leading to incomplete solutions.

For a Year 7 learner, inconsistent recall of index laws slowed progress with fraction problems and left her uncertain during mixed operations.

When these gaps occurred under time pressure or test conditions, small errors compounded and confidence faltered mid-task.

Recent Achievements

One St Georges tutor noticed Zac, a Year 9 student, move from struggling to write much at all to independently completing a full-length essay within a week—something he hadn't managed before.

In recent high school maths sessions, Divyanshu has begun correcting his own algebraic mistakes without prompting and now solves first principle problems solo, showing a new level of self-reliance compared to earlier lessons.

Meanwhile, Lucy in primary years has shifted from hesitating with fractions to confidently adding and subtracting them with minimal guidance; last session she even factored simple equations accurately on her own.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

As Jessica has her final exams next week we would like to discontinue her maths tutoring. We have been extremely pleased with your service and would recommend you to others.

Miah has done really well in her final maths exam! Her tutoring lessons with Alex are obviously working.

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!

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 Burnside Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Seymour College.
