English Tutor Hope Valley, SA
Something that sets me apart from many other tutors is that I’m very relatable, something which I think is very important to a student. Personally, I’ve known in the past what it’s like to sometimes struggle academically, however, experience has shown me that part of it what it takes to succeed is a great work ethic and an awesome mentor.…

To encourage them to keep going and not give up, because it can get really upsetting to the student if they can't understand a specific thing after some time spent on it. It's important to reassure them that the progress they've made so far has been good and worthwhile, and that everyone's learning paces are different. Most importantly, it's…

Give moral support and guidance. As a tutor, I don't give answers or solve the student's work, I want them to be able to solve it themselves and use their critical thinking skills with their knowledge of subject content. Subjects can be tough, as a tutor, I need to find ways to convey the same subject in an easier, convenient way to understand it.…

A tutor needs to help identify a student's strong points and motivate the students in every possible way. It's not always the tutor that should be valued and respected but the students also needs the same respect and care. Also, a tutor should know how to boost up the morale of a student when he/she is feeling low. If student is facing some…

English Tutor Highbury, SA
As a tutor you can provide a child/student with a different outlook on their learning. For example, their school teacher may have explained it in a way that the child didn't particularly understand, and as a tutor you can give them a more unique and individual learning experience that they wouldn't get at school. Providing children with one-on-one…

A tutor has to be patient and welcoming for their students. The reason these students come for tutoring is because they face difficulty keeping up with school. So they should be given the space to understand at their own pace, in their own method and a teacher needs to recognize that. We need to recognize the method which we choose to teach a…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for students is to guide and assist them to complete assignments and homework rather than completing it for them. This will not only allow them to ask questions and gain a basic understanding of how to do a task, but it will also allow them to successfully complete a similar task without needing…

I believe that in order for anyone to understand the material being taught - the tutor must begin with the fundamentals and basics; breaking down the information and then ensuring the student is able to explain it back is what I believe works best. This requires patience, which I believe is an essential quality a tutor must maintain in order for…

Local Reviews

I want to thank Ezy Maths Tutoring, as Joshua seems to have connected well with David and is working with his strengths. Already we are seeing a difference in the confidence of David to tackle his Maths and is being guided to see the areas that he is lacking instead of total self doubt of thinking that he knows nothing .
Craig, Modbury North

Inside ModburyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Alex worked through atomic structure and elements, using periodic table references to understand subatomic particles, then practised writing and balancing chemical equations.

Year 10 student Priya focused on VSEPR theory to predict molecular shapes and applied her knowledge of molar mass in chemical calculations with step-by-step problem solving.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Ella revised key concepts in cell biology, labelling cell parts and discussing the stages of cell division with visual aids for clarity.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student hesitated to trust her own answers in algebra, often second-guessing even correct responses—"she got it right but questioned herself," a tutor noted. This slowed progress and meant less time for extension work.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student struggled with making connections between related science questions, tending to focus on single concepts rather than integrating them; this limited deeper understanding during revision.

In Year 5 maths, another student's written working was sometimes hard to follow due to missing steps when calculating on paper, which led to repeated errors that were difficult to track back and fix during review.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Modbury noticed a big shift with one Year 10 student who previously hesitated to ask for help; now, she actively seeks clarification on tricky biology topics and even poses her own thought-provoking questions about hormone function.

In Year 8 maths, another student who often second-guessed herself has started confidently working through surface area problems—she now says "this makes sense!" after applying formulas independently.

Meanwhile, a younger student in Year 3 who used to struggle with fractions is not only matching them to shaded figures but also explaining why the numerator and denominator represent each part.

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 City of Tea Tree Gully Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Garden College - Modbury Campus.
