It doesn't mean that you ALWAYS have to know your stuff though, we are human, and human can sometimes afford not to know it all. This is when I would go on, do my research, and make sure the next…

The roll of a tutor is two-fold. Firstly, to help students understand the material they are working with. There are many ways to go about this, but one of the most important roles of a tutor is to be able to bring intuition to the abstract. This in addition to introducing effective methods for solving problems. The second key roll is helping…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to provide them with "methods" of learning instead of explain the concepts as they are. Because with methods, students can apply the methods elsewhere. Another thing is to teach students how to "become" a tutor as well. Because this is the way I learn difficult subjects. I imagine…

I feel a tutor must be able to invoke a sense of interest and joy in a students minds for the subject they teach. As a tutor, you are someone who has studied the subject beforehand and are more knowledgeable about the subject than a student who is just starting out. This makes it difficult for tutors to reach their maximum potential while teaching…

Inside St PetersTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Sarah worked through solving linear equations and then practiced using indices in algebraic expressions.

Year 10 student Jack focused on understanding the unit circle for trigonometry, as well as reviewing his recent exam questions together for clarity.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Emily explored exponential graphs and tackled problems involving surds and powers, including expanding algebraic expressions step by step.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student often struggled to translate worded problems into algebraic equations, needing repeated reminders to "write out every step of the equation." This led to confusion between addition and multiplication when working with formulas.

In a senior Maths Methods session, one student hesitated to start multi-part questions without prompts, which slowed progress on complex topics like trigonometric equations. As noted by a tutor: "He got tangled in his thoughts even though he knew the answer."

For a Year 4 learner, difficulties organizing materials meant lesson time was spent searching for past problems instead of consolidating new concepts.

Recent Achievements

One St Peters tutor noticed a Year 9 student who, after initially getting most of his homework fractions wrong, was able to solve them accurately in-session and even tackled a bonus question with barely any help—something he'd struggled with before.

In a recent high school session, another student who used to skip over explaining his reasoning is now confidently talking through probability questions step by step, making fewer mistakes along the way.

Meanwhile, during a Year 4 lesson, a student eager to try multiplication exercises stopped relying on her times tables chart and got most answers correct on her own.

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 Walkerville Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like East Adelaide School.
