It is the ability of a good tutor to find a student’s hidden potential interests and support him to pursue what he really loves to do in life. A tutor can also make the learners feel motivated and enthusiastic to face the challenges that come along. My desire to help others which can bring a difference is the one I consider as my biggest…

It is vital that a tutor creates a welcoming, friendly and positive atmosphere to show the student that they are willing and able to help aid them in their learning. A tutor should ensure that the student feels as though they can ask questions to clarify their understanding of content and that they have control over their own learning and can set…

Science Tutor Port Noarlunga, SA
Be able to communicate information clearly and concisely, as well as being flexible enough to come up with different explanations for topics when a certain method isn't understood. I think it's also very important that a tutor is able to present the information in an engaging way, to help build a passion for the subject. I am friendly and patient,…

Science Tutor Seaford Rise, SA
In my opinion, the most important role of a tutor is to not only retell information and explain answers but give students tools in studying different subjects that can be applicable to their independent study. In this way, the student can learn how to independently intake knowledge; a skill that will serve them not only in the year or subject that…

Overall achievement is important of course however bringing out a students fascination is key as fascination makes learning both enjoyable and engaging. Explanations and visualisations are one of my strengths. I can explain complex concepts to people with little understandings about the subject. I can also grasp concepts quickly which allows me to…

Inside TatachillaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Alex worked on dividing numbers with remainders and spotting patterns in multiplication, including identifying factors of numbers.

For Year 9, Sam practiced solving simultaneous equations using both algebraic and graphical methods and reviewed the index laws to strengthen skills for an upcoming test.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Mia focused on quadratic factorisation—including trinomials and difference of two squares—and expanded her understanding by applying these concepts to word problems.

Recent Challenges

In Year 3, one student avoided showing working in maths and often counted on fingers rather than recalling times tables—this slowed progress in division and long multiplication.

"She needs to work on showing her working out," noted a tutor, after another session where answers were given with little written process.

In Year 9 algebra, another student hesitated to begin assignments and froze up when facing new problems, sometimes needing questions rephrased before making progress.

Meanwhile, a senior student struggled to apply the FOIL method in quadratic expansions due to anxiety about errors; confidence dropped further after mistakes, leaving blank spaces instead of attempted steps.

Recent Achievements

One Tatachilla tutor noticed a big shift with Lara, a high school student who used to hesitate asking for help; now she identifies her own mistakes during exam revision and explains how she'll fix them.

In another recent session, Sasha—also in high school—taught her tutor a new algebra method from class, showing not just mastery but real independence after struggling with equations last term.

Meanwhile, Nicole in primary school moved from 0% to 75% on her rounding test and can now complete times tables without counting on her fingers, working through homework independently with far less prompting than before.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We are happy at this stage and Leyla is saying that she likes the way Zoe is teaching her. We are happy with Zoe as she is a very nice lady and very good teacher.

We are delighted with Dexter. She and Carly get along very well and she makes the tutoring process seamless and pleasant. Carly is responding very well to Dexter and they've already and good progress.

We have been very happy with Tako and feel she has really assisted our children to gain greater confidence with their math work and to work through math steps carefully, which was our key goal. We have also been impressed with the organisation of the tutoring through your services.

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 Seaford Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Tatachilla Lutheran College.
