The first and foremost thing a tutor should do is to create interest in the subject that is being taught. The reason is simple, when the student is interested in learning the subject, a teacher's job is a cakewalk. A teacher should make the student believe that subjects like maths are pretty easy and interesting to learn. This can be done by…

I think the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to build their confidence in a subject area. A student with more confidence will feel comfortable with the subject matter and will be able to apply it to a wider variety of questions and problems. Attaining this confidence can be achieved through a number of methods such as:…

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.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Ethan is finding the tutoring to be very helpful st this time. Tiffany is very patient and organised and I can see that both children will get great benefit from the sessions

Clare is comfortable with Daniel already and has had at least a boost in confidence with having him "on her team".

Joshua is happy with the tutoring he is receiving from Nicholas and is confident that it will help him with his exams.

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.
