The most important things a tutor can do could be split into two parts. Academically, tutors are there to help the student to learn all the knowledge required for them to achieve better grades. Spiritually, tutors are there as mentors, which they need to encourage the student to achieve their full potential, because usually due to exam pressure,…

Besides grades, I would say that a tutor is also essentially teaching the student life skills such as responsibility and perseverance. I had this unmotivated student. He wouldn't complete the homework that I had given him and often fell asleep in class. I started to find out the reason behind his behavior and I used it to my advantage, Over…

While I think it's important to assist students from an academic standpoint, I also think it's important for tutors to help students develop a sense of purpose in their studies. Teaching students to direct their motivations towards their goals, rather than solely their grades, can be just as important for their future as anything a tutor can…

I guess that would be guiding them to make use of knowledge in real life situations by making connections between concepts and practice. By doing so, they learn something that is useful and could probably help them later in their lives.

Inside Glenelg NorthTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ciara focused on addition and subtraction with money, practicing borrowing numbers and tackling worded problem-solving tasks.

For Year 7, Josh worked through fraction operations including addition, subtraction, and multiplication using examples from homework and targeted practice sets.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Zara revised indices in preparation for an upcoming test and explored square roots along with highest common factor concepts through direct calculation exercises.

Recent Challenges

Incomplete homework was a consistent challenge across several years. For example, in Year 5, "student still did not complete homework," leading to ongoing confusion with double-digit multiplication.

In Year 8, missed homework meant the student struggled to recall fraction methods and couldn't show working when asked.

A Year 10 student often waited for peers' answers rather than attempting questions independently; as one tutor observed, "she waited for Ella before answering because she was unsure."

During problem-solving in Year 7, guessing or giving up too quickly meant time was lost re-explaining steps instead of building confidence with complex tasks.

Recent Achievements

One Glenelg North tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to keep quiet when confused now speaks up whenever she's stuck, especially during problem-solving questions—last session she asked for help and then finished all ten division quiz problems correctly.

In Year 8, another student who often guessed at answers has started checking her work with notes from previous weeks and talks through calculations out loud; she completed her homework independently for the first time.

A younger student, previously unsure about shape names, was able to confidently identify and count sides, faces, and edges by relating them to objects around the house.

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 Glenelg Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Leonards Primary School.
