A tutor's number one job is to boost the confidence of their students by improving their critical thinking and knowledge through quality teaching. This means providing the necessary tools for the student to succeed and accomplish their long-term goals so that they can tackle complex issues critically and independently. I've been tutoring…

A tutor needs to be able to identify where a student is struggling and deliver problems in a way that they can comprehend. It is quite likely that students may have negative feelings towards learning in a subject that they are struggling with, so it is important for tutors to bring enthusiasm to the learning process. Similar to this, tutors need…

For me, it is to be very patient and never stop giving encouragement. Cause everyone has different learning capabilities but it doesn't mean that because some can learn faster than others, doesn't mean they can no longer do it. We just have to be patient and make them believe in themselves. Patience. Critical Thinker. Problem Solver. Encouraging.…

Responsibility is the first word that comes to my mind. I come from Vietnam, and I have seen very few Australian students who require a tutor, comparing to Vietnamese students. If they hire a tutor, they must have a need to improve their academic performance. Hence, a tutor needs to be responsible for them to achieve a better result. I cannot…

It may involve giving subject advice from experience, being reassuring and having sound knowledge of the course and content. In doing so, tutors can aid students to develop a genuine interest in the…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is explain him a concept using simplest possible method which can help him to figure out the solution of every problem by himself, thereby seeking for minimum help. Apart from that, a tutor should conduct revision classes followed by revision tests quite frequently to make a topic crystal clear…

Be honest as this helps to establish rapport and trust, the two most critical elements to a successful tutoring relationship. The tutor-student relationship should be viewed as a partnership.

Inside TennysonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Tom focused on solving linear equations and exploring properties of linear graphs, using practice questions to consolidate understanding.

In Year 9, Sophie worked through trigonometry problems involving finding unknown sides and angles in triangles as well as applying bearings in real-world scenarios.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Liam reviewed differential calculus concepts with a focus on rules for differentiation and tackled binomial expansion and theorem questions to prepare for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student relied on mental calculation for algebra, skipping written steps—"he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors." This meant small mistakes were harder to spot and correct.

In Year 11, one student hesitated when choosing between Bernoulli and Binomial distributions; he only grew confident after working through several examples, highlighting the need to practice identifying question types under exam conditions.

Meanwhile, a Year 9 student was confused by worded problems in geometry, needing support to extract key information before attempting solutions.

When units weren't double-checked in physics calculations (Year 10), answers lost marks despite solid method.

Recent Achievements

A Tennyson tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student who, after struggling with calculus investigations, began asking targeted questions about each confusing step and could then clearly explain all the differentiation methods used.

In Year 9, another student who used to stay quiet when stuck on algebra now openly identifies which parts confuse him and talks through his problem-solving process aloud—something he avoided before.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student made real progress by remembering area formulas for different shapes using new memory cues and independently applying these during unit conversion activities without prompting.

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 Henley Beach Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Seaton High School.
