English Tutor Smithfield, SA
I think that curiosity and the satisfaction of that curiosity is the most enjoyable part of learning. Whilst students have different goals for their learning the tutor has an opportunity to impact a life positively. The most important thing is to achieve the student's goal but over and above that an english tutor can engender a love of learning…

English Tutor Blakeview, SA
I believe understanding the logic behind math can be very versatile and can be applied in everyday life, whenever it is maths or applying logic to your own life. I am currently studying Mathematical Methods, Specialist Mathematics and physics. I really enjoy maths but I also have experience in teaching and I enjoy helping my younger sibling…

English Tutor Waterloo Corner, SA
I consider the most important thing as an english tutor is the success of my student academically through personalised lessons. I feel an obligation to ensure that my students pass or exceed in the topics they bring to the lessons and aim to empower them to create independent learners. I would say my strengths are being able to break down complex…

Samuel

English Tutor Hillbank, SA
I think that an english tutor must be patient and remain composed with each student. A tutor is meant to be that person whose teaching is tailored, so it requires an individualized approach, picked up and constantly adjusted as needs change and develop. I have (as told to me by all my ever-suffering associates) a 'wild' vocabulary, and for English…

English Tutor Munno Para, SA
I believe that an english tutor should be someone whom the student should feel comfortable asking questions. In this sense, the student should definitely feel no hestitation when asking for clarification if they do not completely understand a concept, something which is not always easy to do in a class. I believe my weaknesses as a tutor would…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student are to provide clear explanations, offer patient guidance, foster a supportive learning environment, adapt teaching strategies to suit the student's needs, and instill confidence in their abilities. As a tutor, I believe my strengths lie in my ability to explain complex concepts in simple…

The best things that a mentor can give his/her students are life long skills and strategies. Academic knowledge is one thing however being able to know how to handle other different learning problem is something that the students can take with them for a long time (eg; time management, self discipline, problem solving skills) I believe my…

Michael is a fantastic tutor for my Year 11 son who has been experiencing difficulties with his Maths Methods. Michael has been very patient and has explained things really well to the point that my son has been feeling very confident with his maths progress. He will continue to have tutoring from Michael which is seeing him really improve. Michael's been amazing

Inside Macdonald ParkTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ariana worked on identifying symmetry in shapes and began a Year 4 content quiz to check her understanding across topics.

In Year 10, Sam focused on solving linear equations in two variables using elimination and substitution methods, along with tackling word problems to build real-world application skills.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Daniel practiced trigonometry by finding missing angles and sides of triangles using the cosine rule, as well as reviewing related problems from his school workbook.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student left research project work until the last minute, which meant "the opportunity to absorb learning is limited" and notes were incomplete.

In a recent Year 10 biology/English session, key materials—like the test and The Merchant of Venice text—were forgotten, so lesson time couldn't be used effectively.

For Year 9 mathematics, skipping steps in equations ("he tended to skip steps and not explain them") led to unnoticed errors that slowed progress.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student relied heavily on tutor sessions for assignment completion rather than independent effort, missing chances to build confidence between lessons.

Recent Achievements

One high schooler, Chelsea, has begun tackling complex trigonometry problems on her own—where she once hesitated to ask questions, she now speaks up whenever something's unclear and completes most calculations independently.

Another secondary student, Sam, who previously struggled with assignment focus, took the initiative to re-engage with his Research Project by asking thoughtful interview questions and even received an A for his newspaper PowerPoint presentation.

Meanwhile, Jess in Year 3 made real progress learning new strategies for tricky times tables and started picking up on mistakes during lessons 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 Playford Civic Centre Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Angle Vale Primary School.
