Teaching the content and helping them fully grasp it, rather than doing it for them. I find that a lot of subjects have a particular rhythm to them; although some require rote learning (like particular concepts, especially within math), there are always patterns that can be identified so that students achieve their very best. For example: Stage 2…

I believe that the things an english tutor should have the most are patience and expertise. Since tutoring a student is challenging depends on how fast the student can cope up with the discussion, so patience is a must to help them understand the topic. Besides, expertise is also an important thing, because there are topics that students find hard…

I think one of the most important things an english tutor can do for a student is to actively listen and to be organised with planning lessons. It’s really important to understand exactly what the student requires. This could be done through a pre-assessment at the start of the sessions. The tutor can then take that work home and arrange the…

Most importantly, a student should be motivated and encouraged so that he studies with interest.

Inside Torrens IslandTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Maddison worked on reviewing multiplication, division, and the **gradient formula**, including going over her recent indices quiz to identify mistakes.

Year 11 student Emily focused on applying **differentiation to kinematics problems** and finding equations of tangents to curves using examples from motion scenarios.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Jack tackled statistics topics such as **confidence intervals** and applications of integration in linear motion problems, with extra practice on interpreting slope through real-world data.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student worked through calculus questions but hesitated to simplify expressions before applying differentiation or integration rules, leading to confusion mid-problem. In one case, as noted, "she wasn't sure whether to expand brackets before integrating, which muddled her answer."

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student arrived without her word list or homework—spelling practice was disrupted and recent words weren't reviewed.

Another senior student forgot upcoming test dates and struggled to organize revision materials; she realized too late that missed planning left gaps in coverage.

During primary spelling exercises, difficulty fitting longer words into boxes led to repeated erasing and lost focus.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Torrens Island recently noticed a Year 11 student catching her own mistakes while working through calculus questions, backchecking her answers with a calculator instead of waiting for help—a big shift from needing constant reassurance before.

In Year 8 maths, another student who used to rush and forget "carried" numbers has started double-checking their work independently, making fewer errors and explaining their thinking out loud during sessions.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who once hesitated to read aloud now volunteers to tackle longer books and even moved up four reading levels after persistent practice.
