Legal Studies Tutor Burton, SA
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,…

Inside Waterloo CornerTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Amelia worked through perimeter and area of kites and irregular shapes, and also practised graphing on cartesian planes with X,Y tables.

In Year 8, Suhana focused on partitioning numbers as well as building confidence with basic multiplication, division, and simple fractions using visual models.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Archie tackled converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages, plus applied these skills to financial maths topics such as calculating price reductions and profit/loss scenarios.

Recent Challenges

A Year 2 student frequently avoided writing numbers independently, often needing repeated tracing practice and close guidance.

As one tutor observed, "he would imitate what was said rather than attempt sounding out words on his own," showing a reluctance to risk mistakes during English phonics work.

In Year 8 maths, another student hesitated to talk through problem-solving steps aloud, which limited her ability to break down multi-step word problems—she tended to say "I don't know" quickly instead of unpacking the question.

In Year 10, confidence wavered after errors in Pythagoras' theorem; she left working blank when unsure, slowing progress through test review.

Recent Achievements

One Waterloo Corner tutor noticed a high school student now checks her working without reminders, catching and fixing her own mistakes in Pythagoras' theorem questions—something she rarely did before.

Another older student, who used to hesitate when starting problems, now talks through her reasoning aloud and can spot where she's gone off track, only occasionally needing help.

Meanwhile, a primary student who previously rushed maths problems has begun slowing down to double-check answers and uses number-lines more independently to solve addition with negative numbers. In last week's session, she completed all textbook exercises on her own initiative before asking for extra practice.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Phal has been amazing with our kids and she has improved their standard immeasurably. They have delighted in her passionate teaching style and have come away with much knowledge and strategies in approaching their maths.

Eric has been tutoring both my children for math over the past year. He has demonstrated exemplary patience and persistence in engaging with both children, and has successfully improved their mathematic skills. Eric is always calm and organised, he consistently plans ahead for lessons and adjusts what to teach according to need. He is punctual and reliable, and flexible enough to work around his own schedule and the busy schedule of families. He considers my feedback on how the children are going, and has found his own ways to help them maintain focus for the entire session. I have enjoyed having Eric as a tutor in our home and have recommended him to other families.

The ezymaths company was professional to deal with, our tutor was punctual and very knowledgeable and generally a very nice person. Our tutor identified by the second lesson the areas my daughter needed to focus on and from this time she has been addressing these areas. My daughter enjoys her tutoring sessions now.

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 Burton Community Hub Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Burton Primary School.
