To compliment and reinforce what a student is learning in their school. A tutor could even broaden their student's knowledge outside the classroom, and due to the more communication-based nature of tutoring as opposed to learning in class, a tutor could potentially spark inspiration in their students for what they are learning. Patience with…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to listen.

Thus, I think that listening to and responding to the needs of the student is…

A tutor , according to me should be available to the student at all times. They have to respond to the student's enquiries without much lag. Additionally, teachers have to be truly dedicated especially in terms of correction of homework and assignments.

Local Reviews

We were allocated a brilliant tutor, Benju Sharma, who is working so well with my son and his understanding of maths is improving. Benju always turns up on time and is ready and prepared for the lesson. She is good at keeping my son on track and he has actually started enjoying maths! Thanks for your help, we are super pleased with Benju and the huge effort she puts in.

Inside TorrensTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student James focused on multiplication and division strategies, working through practical examples to build confidence with both operations.

In Year 8, Chloe practised algebra and straight line graphing, using diagrams to plot equations and interpret graphs.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Ethan concentrated on surface area and volume calculations for 3D shapes, applying formulas to real-world-style questions for extra context.

Recent Challenges

A Year 7 student often solved problems in her head, leading to missed steps and confusion during algebra tasks—"more writing as he solves the problems," noted one tutor.

In Year 10, inconsistent formatting and skipping backchecking led to recurring mistakes with hyperbolae and boxplots.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student regularly mixed up multiplication and addition in written work; homework was sometimes left incomplete or done incorrectly until reviewed together.

In Year 11 English, a student's essay paragraphs lacked clear analysis because ideas weren't organised before writing. These habits resulted in time lost clarifying errors instead of building confidence or advancing skills.

Recent Achievements

One Torrens tutor noticed a Year 8 student who had struggled with algebra now working through problems aloud and using a new five-step process, showing real independence compared to her earlier hesitation.

In a high school maths session, another student moved from confusion about hyperbolae and boxplots to confidently explaining intercepts out loud—he even performed well on his recent test after practicing this skill.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who used to be quiet is now eager to learn, openly asking for help with addition and subtraction, and recently finished all the set problems without errors.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Yes, we are very pleased that Sophia likes Rebecca and the tutoring seems to be going well. Rebecca obviously has patience and takes the time to explain things so Sophia can follow them and work through the maths, which is exactly what we wanted. The problem with the school is they move along so fast that there is not enough practice time, and we (the parents) are not familiar with what they teach so we can't just help out quickly; we have to re-learn it ourselves first, and then we're probably not good at explaining clearly. That's why it is great having Rebecca who can obviously explain things in a way Sophia understands. The main thing is that Sophia sees herself as '˜no good at maths', but when something is explained so she understands it, she is very pleased when she can get the right answers. A lot of it is a confidence thing I think, and also her school maths teacher has been quite negative about her work; so hopefully the tutoring will rebuild some of Sophia's general confidence over time, which would be great. Sophia will never be a star at maths, but if she can just get passes instead of always negative marks and comments from school, we will be quite happy with that. Sophia is very good at English/Hums and art; maths is her weak area, and we are very pleased (and actually surprised) that she is sitting through an hour of maths tutoring each week without complaint. We did not know how it would go; we tried one other tutor a few months ago , a retired male maths teacher - and she hated it. So this time we are very happy.

So far so good with Tim. Tim is now tutoring both my kids and both are really happy with him. Results will show in the months to come. It is early days but we are very happy so far.

Michael has really enjoyed having Raj come as his tutor.  In fact he also managed to get 80% on his last algebra test at school.  It has really empowered him to want to do well in maths and he looks forward to his tutoring session each week. We look forward to seeing him continue on his maths journey throughout the year. Many thanks Ps. I have referred a few of my friends onto your website as their kids were having difficulty too!!!

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 Woden Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Torrens Primary School.
