English Tutor Brooklyn Park, SA
The most important thing is to develop the students confidence and give them the ability to take on problems on their own later down the track. I feel that this is the main key to success as without this ability the student will give up half way. Empowerment and showing them that it isn't as hard as what they think is crucial. I am a very patient…

Know your stuff. Always. As simple as it might sound, really bringing your students a reliable foundation of knowledge on the subject is always crucial. It doesn't mean that you ALWAYS have to know your stuff though, we are human, and human can sometimes afford not to know it all. This is when I would go on, do my research, and make sure the next…

Of course being able to teach and make the student understand the lesson. But understanding does not simply imply understanding just for the sake of passing the subject in the Uni, understanding the lesson means how the learning can be applied to practical experience or to day to day living. Touching the mind is tantamount to influencing a…

Encouragement. Learning something new can be hard. Things that do not come easily have the potential to discourage us, but the only way for anyone to fail is if they give up. As a tutor it is my number one priority to emphasize the successes of each student, and to find ways to inspire them to keep trying to learn. I will consider each session of…

The goal of tutoring should be to empower students and thus the primary focus of tuition should be to develop confidence and independence rather than reliance. For this reason, I believe the most important component of tutoring is not working through content, but reflecting and future planning to ensure the student believes they have the skills…

I believe that a tutor should be able to build relationships with a student where the students are provided with an environment where they are heard and observed.

I believe that making every session meaningful, productive but entertaining is key to learning.

Inside MarionTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student James revised normal distribution concepts, calculating probabilities and exploring how variance and cumulative frequency shift as distributions change.

For Year 12, Aiden practised finding the area under curves using integration—especially between two functions—and applied these skills to kinematics problems involving displacement and velocity by interpreting different types of graphs.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Finn focused on random variables, working through mean and standard deviation calculations across various population sets to deepen understanding of probability in statistics.

Recent Challenges

Struggled to keep formulas for derivatives and anti-derivatives distinct—mixing them up during integration tasks meant that correct steps were sometimes lost, as one tutor noted, "he mixed up the stuff."

In Year 9 maths, forgetting units of length and area slowed progress in geometry.

For a younger student, lack of confidence with wordy problems made comprehension in problem-solving sessions difficult.

Another senior student relied heavily on cheat sheets and needed more active revision before exams; this resulted in last-minute stress when attempting practice tests under timed conditions.

Recent Achievements

A Marion tutor recently noticed a big shift in one Year 11 student, who started incorporating diagrams into written physics answers—something they'd previously avoided because it felt confusing.

Another high schooler, after struggling with chemistry redox reactions, began balancing half-equations independently once rules for oxidation states finally clicked.

On the primary side, a Year 4 student who used to guess quietly during maths is now asking for help whenever stuck and even solved several fraction questions on their own last session.

The older student wrapped up by creating a personal formula list for future reference.

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 Marion Mobile Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Westminster School.
