Modern History Tutor Burnside, SA
The most important thing a tutor can do for their student is to accommodate their learning style. Students have ranging techniques and motivations when learning content. Personally, I struggled with auditory learning as a student, and would therefore ask my teachers to give me a range of tactile learning techniques to assist in my learning. I…

Modern History Tutor Glenside, SA
I believe the most powerful way a tutor can aid a student is by giving them confidence. More than often, students can show more vulnerability in a one-on-one session than in a classroom surrounded by their peers, and so the best thing I can do is use these private sessions to impart confidence in the students by making them see ways they can…

Modern History Tutor Toorak Gardens, SA
A tutor must be patient, flexible, honest and attentive. It is important that tutors do not give students the answer directly but allows the student to discover the answer with extra guidance. The ultimate goal of tutoring is to help students become independent learners. A tutor must be willing to adapt to different situations and learning…

I think that a tutor must be patient and remain composed with each student.

I have (as told to me by all my ever-suffering associates) a 'wild' vocabulary, and for English…

Expanding on what I have written earlier, I think that one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is be prepared, and always willing to learn. I think this requires being a bit humble, and accepting that, even with something that may appear to be far below the tutor's learning, there may still be things that aren't known or have…

The most important things I can do for a student, is to put myself in their shoes when teaching. Often some students take longer to understand, comprehend or apply the knowledge taught. It' so important to go at their pace, whilst challenging them as well, because there's nothing we can't achieve if we set our minds to it. It' important to simply…

I believe that getting high grades in school is not the most important goal for my student (although this is something we work towards), but rather what is most important for me as a tutor is to see them learn, progress and improve each time.

My understanding of a tutors role is not to do the students work, yet to uncover their natural ability so that they may proceed to increase their academic results. Therefore, the most important thing a tutor can do is not only provide advice but draw out the best of people. I have been told I am a 'people person', I previously worked in a busy…

I consider the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to ultimately inspire them in a love of learning and hopefully pass onto them capsules of knowledge which are priceless.

Inside Horsnell GullyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Alyssia worked on adding and subtracting mixed number fractions with different denominators, as well as writing creative paragraphs with a focus on commas and exclamation points.

Year 10 student James focused on finding the equation of a line by calculating gradients and y-intercepts, along with sketching graphs to determine x- and y-intercepts using the gradient-intercept method.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Alyssia tackled chemistry concepts including titrations—covering molar ratios and manipulating equations like n = m/M and C = n/V—and reviewed galvanic cells, redox reactions, and balancing chemical equations in preparation for her exam.

Recent Challenges

Handwriting and presentation issues were a recurring theme in Years 3–5, with reminders such as "capital letters are only for the start of sentence" and notes about rambling sentences making written work difficult to follow.

In Year 9 algebra, one student showed "some reliability on equations," often defaulting to previous answers rather than attempting new methods—this limited adaptability when faced with unfamiliar questions.

A Year 12 chemistry student preferred looking back at worked examples instead of attempting problems independently; this reliance slowed progress when tackling new scenarios.

Missed opportunities to ask teachers for help also delayed clarification of key misunderstandings.

Recent Achievements

One Horsnell Gully tutor noticed a big shift in Oscar (Year 5), who now needs far fewer reminders to work through fractions—last term, he would stall unless prompted, but this week tackled mixed numbers nearly independently.

In Year 10 science, Alyssia moved from hesitating over titration equations to completing even those with mixed molar ratios solo by session's end—a real step up in accuracy and confidence.

Meanwhile, Lucy (Year 11) started taking the lead in her maths revision: she came prepared with specific questions about statistics and managed to complete several practice problems without relying on prior examples.

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 Burnside Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Norton Summit Primary School.
