I believe the most important thing a tutor can offer a child is patience. Impatience does not create a suitable learning environment. Qualities like these can prevent a child from wanting to learn, they may negatively associate with the subject, putting them further behind. Every child can succeed, given enough time. I have strengths as coach that…

There are many important things a tutor can do for their students however, the greatest thing is being a supportive role model. If the student is able to respect and understand their tutor, there is a high chance that student looks up to that tutor. Therefore, it is important that the tutor can develop a professional relationship with the student…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to give them the confidence to never stop trying to learn despite few low moments. I personally, encourage students to ask even the most basic questions which come across their mind and to never feel ashamed of wanting to learn more or being curious. In my opinion, Constantly…

Science Tutor Andrews Farm, SA
I believe a tutor should give encouragement generously. A tutor should also empower students by teaching them skills that will help them throughout their schooling and beyond. I care about my students. I try to identify their learning style so that I'm better equipped to help them. I encourage my students to work their way through problems instead…

Science Tutor Andrews Farm, SA
A tutor must provide enough time, guidance and have patience with their students so that they feel comfortable and ask doubts whenever they required. I enjoy my passion towards teaching and want my students not to have any fear towards any subject and I make learning easier for them by teaching the things their way, as every student has their own…

Buddhini is lovely and we have been really happy with her support of our daughter in Maths.

Inside VirginiaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Archie worked on simplifying ratios and strengthening times tables knowledge.

Year 8 Amelia focused on finding the area of kites, diamonds, and irregular shapes, as well as revising perimeter and area concepts using classwork examples.

Meanwhile, Year 9 Suhana practised trigonometry by calculating missing triangle sides and reviewed key topics such as surface area, volume, and Pythagoras' theorem in preparation for an upcoming assessment.

Recent Challenges

In a recent Year 10 session, one student hesitated to talk through their problem-solving steps in maths, often defaulting to "I don't know" when faced with fraction addition ("encourage her to talk through her thinking process").

For a Year 8 biology lesson, the absence of key materials like the test and textbook meant essential review couldn't happen—momentum was lost before the work began.

Meanwhile, a senior student preparing for exams sometimes forgot to bring required resources or background notes; as a result, valuable lesson time shifted from tackling challenging content to scrambling for basics.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Virginia noticed a Year 9 student who used to rush through maths problems now routinely checks her work for errors and fixes them herself, something she avoided before.

In another high school session, a student tackling Pythagoras' theorem was able to solve composite shape questions without any prompts and talked through each step out loud—a shift from previous lessons where he waited for guidance.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who previously panicked at multi-step multiplication tasks now calmly breaks them into chunks and finishes skip counting exercises on her own.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

The tutor you sent me on Sat is absolutely excellent. Pls don't change Mina. My kids feel really comfortable with her and finally we feel we have a winning formula.

It's got off to a great start, Beaux really likes Taran and she likes the way Taran explains things and shows her new ways of working things out. Taran has boosted her confidence and Beaux is actually able to do a lot more than we thought.

We are very happy with Thai and the tutoring set up. Massimo and Thai have established a comfortable routine and it appears to be working for everyone involved. I can see that Massimo's confidence has already improved and he has regained his motivation.

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 Two Wells Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Virginia Primary School.
