Being a medical student, I value how education builds an individual. Having the right mentors and teachers during one's educational journey can either make or break them. Students look up to their mentors and tutors for various reasons. Students already interact with teachers at school, so they require a friend who understands their problems and…

an english tutor first needs to understand the capability of the student considering all the strengths and weakness and work on it. Only just transforming knowledge will not help the child grow but instead develop a liking for that particular subject will make that child understand it more easily. Temporary teaching does't work in this teaching…

I believe it is most important for an english tutor to tailor their teaching according to the needs of their student. Many students learn in different ways such as visual or through different compounding activities to build a strong foundation before moving on to more difficult concepts. I believe being able to teach a student in the way that is…

Inside BowdenTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student William built confidence with long addition and practiced multiplication strategies, using written methods for clarity.

For Year 10, Grace tackled trigonometry—solving triangles with ratios and applying Pythagoras' theorem to worded geometric problems.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ben focused on financial maths by working through house loan calculations and variable interest scenarios, learning to solve for unknowns using a calculator.

Recent Challenges

Over several year levels, process-related habits are holding back progress.

For example, a Year 8 student relied heavily on their calculator in mental arithmetic tasks—"still needs to work on this," one tutor noted—which led to hesitation when the calculator was unavailable.

In Year 11, anxiety during calculus drills caused skipped checks and repeated mistakes under time pressure.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner often left homework incomplete and needed reminders to review past errors instead of moving on quickly.

Across both junior and senior years, confusion with terminology like "mode" versus "mean" resulted in wasted effort on the wrong methods mid-assessment.

Recent Achievements

A Bowden tutor recently saw a Year 10 student who had struggled to use mental maths confidently begin applying new shortcuts in their working, even tackling practice questions without prompting—something they'd previously avoided.

In a senior session, a Year 12 student took real initiative by openly explaining the exact points where they got stuck in class and then worked through solutions step by step with much less hesitation than before.

Meanwhile, one of our younger students started attempting larger addition problems independently and no longer waits for reassurance before trying each question.

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 Hindmarsh Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Immaculate Heart of Mary School.
