The best things that a mentor can give his/her students are life long skills and strategies. Academic knowledge is one thing however being able to know how to handle other different learning problem is something that the students can take with them for a long time (eg; time management, self discipline, problem solving skills) I believe my…

An important thing that a tutor can do to a student would be being understanding, patience and determination to be given to a student as everyone is in a different level of pace when it comes to learning. Also being able to share my knowledge and experiences to students so they can learn more. I believe my strengths in tutoring would be being…

I think the most important things a tutor can do is a) be consistent and persistent - constantly show up, be willing to explain things 100 times if that's what is needed. The student needs to have faith in you. And b) build confidence - tutoring isn't a short term option, by teaching them the skills of how to attack problems they don't understand,…

A tutor should not be someone who forces children to study. He or she should be a good friend, mentor for every child. He or she should be able to show patience and empathy to her students and stand with them in achieving their dreams. As a tutor, my major strengths are good communication skills and patience. I strongly want my students to…

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.
