Tutor Adelaide, SA
I think it is the ability to understand the student's capability and their needs. Therefore, as a tutor, I can provide personalised learning lessons that are suitable to the student, hence, they can still progress at their own pace without too much pressure. The most important quality required as a tutor is my good subject knowledge. In addition,…

Tutor Erindale, SA
One of the most important things I have realised over helping my friends in year 12 would be to walk through the question and not actually doing the question for the student. Sure you could do the question for them and they could get full marks for an assignment or whatever, but they would not understand the fundamentals lying behind the question…

Tutor Clovelly Park, SA
I feel that it is extremely important for a tutor to help the student learn content in a way that is personalised to them. A significant number of students who are under the impression that they do not understand a subject are simply not absorbing the information in the right way. If a tutor can help the student discover the method they learn…

Tutor Adelaide, SA
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to teach the student to enjoy learning, and impart a good studying method. After all, even the best tutor cannot help an unmotivated student, and a lack of self-motivation is the biggest obstacle that many underperforming students fail to overcome. I am good at following the student's pace.…

Being able to engage the student in the lesson and making sure they actually understand. Learning should be a fun process if not it should be made as fun as possible. Being able to teach in different ways depending on how the student is able to understand. Every student has their own study methods, and ways of understanding, so according to that,…

Identifying the student's strengths and weaknesses is crucial. I would ensure their strengths are reflected through their work and that we are spending extra time focusing on the weaker areas. As a tutor, you act as the student's moral support, as the subjects they are receiving tutoring for are the subjects they find the most challenging. You are…

Providing clear explanations, patient support, and tailored approaches to their learning styles are essential. A tutor should cultivate critical thinking, encourage questions, and foster a positive learning atmosphere. Equally important is instilling self-confidence and a growth mindset, enabling students to tackle challenges independently. Also,…

Local Reviews

James has been a great tutor from the very beginning. Very professional, and I can see my son actively engage in the lessons. I'm very confident that he'll feel far more confident going into his exams, and tackling Year 12 Maths Methods next year.
Michelle Evans, Colonel Light Gardens

Inside Colonel Light GardensTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Ava practised subtraction up to two digits without exchanging and strengthened her recall of number facts to 20 using quick games.

Year 6 student Charlie worked on converting fractions to decimals and compared, ordered, and placed them on number lines for visual understanding.

Meanwhile, Year 7 student Ella focused on revising the four laws of indices with examples and tackled NAPLAN-style practice questions targeting multiplication strategies.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student struggled to access homework reliably on OneNote via iPad, leading to incomplete tasks ("accessing homework from OneNote on iPad").

In a Year 8 maths session, overuse of the eraser showed avoidance of visible mistakes: "Does not like to make mistakes—uses eraser although being told that we learn from mistakes."

At the senior level, messy written work in cursive versus print hindered clarity for one student.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student's lack of focus after a school event meant times tables recall faltered and revision suffered.

Recent Achievements

One Colonel Light Gardens tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who used to skip over complex algebraic equations—now, she's recalling BEDMAS rules and solving problems with parentheses on her own.

In a recent session, a Year 8 student who was previously hesitant about worded maths problems tackled several independently after learning to pick out only the relevant facts from each question.

Meanwhile, a younger student in Year 4 started verbalising his thinking when continuing number patterns, something he'd avoided before; by the end of the lesson, he was confidently explaining his reasoning aloud without prompting.

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 Mitcham Memorial Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Colonel Light Gardens Primary School.
