Tutor Craigmore, SA
Encouraging and patient when explaining concepts to students. Tutors need to provide encouragement as this will build both motivation within the student to do well in a subject, and increase their overall confidence in a difficult topic. I believe setting achievable goals is also an important thing a tutor can do. Patience is also critical, as…

Tutor Salisbury North, SA
Aside from helping a student understand their work, I think one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is helping them to think and look at a problem from a different perspective A strength of mine that I think will be useful in tutoring is I really do everything I can to help someone understand a topic or idea. When I explain…

Tutor Hillbank, SA
I think that a 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…

I believe a tutor should give encouragement generously. A tutor should also empower students by teaching them skills that will help them throughout their schooling and beyond. I care about my students. I try to identify their learning style so that I'm better equipped to help them. I encourage my students to work their way through problems instead…

I strongly believe that tutor are in a position, where they can not only help the student with solving a problem, but also build their confidence so that they become confident in solving any type of problems independently. It is also about teaching them how to approach a question instead of giving them the answers. For example, helping them to…

A tutor can help a student grow not only in their academics but also as a human. A tutor is different from a teacher as they can be more personal with a student during 1 on 1 teaching. This gives room for conversations which can help the students grow. Since i was recently a student, I believe that I understand what students are looking for from a…

Be a mentor and a guide. Teaching students how to problem solve in ways that can apply outside of a specific subject is something that I believe is important as the role of a tutor is not to provide answers, but to teach students how to solve problems on their own. Patience and persistence - having helped tutor my two younger siblings, as well as…

For high school students, I find that the most important thing a tutor can do is to build a student's confidence in their own abilities. More often than not, I hear student's say that they don't know what they're doing, which can hold them back from trying their best. It's a fact of psychology that people tend to sabotage their own efforts when…

Georgia is absolutely loving her tutor, I am very impressed with her myself, she is a lovely young lady.
Nicole

Inside Penfield GardensTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Amelia worked on understanding the perimeter and circumference of irregular shapes, as well as finding the area of kites and diamonds using visual breakdowns.

Year 9 student Oliver tackled linear equations by exploring slopes—including parallel, perpendicular, zero, and undefined cases—while also completing assignment questions on parabolic graphs.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Emily focused on probability lines and calculating basic probabilities through real-world scenarios to reinforce these concepts.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student often left assignment work, such as research projects and note-taking for English texts, until the last minute; this meant "the opportunity to absorb learning is limited" and class time was spent catching up rather than polishing skills.

In Year 10 mathematics, a student skipped written steps in equations—"he tended to skip steps and not explain them"—making it hard to catch errors before moving on.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student regularly forgot essential materials for both biology and English sessions; missing resources meant planned activities couldn't be completed, causing frustration when progress stalled mid-lesson.

Recent Achievements

One Penfield Gardens tutor saw a big shift in a Year 10 student who used to rush through algebra, often making careless errors—this time, he took the lead in thinking out loud and double-checking his steps, resulting in cleaner solutions.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student who previously hesitated to ask for help during English lessons has started voicing her questions and even caught a mistake made by the tutor.

In primary sessions, one student working on multiplication mastered using finger beats as her own technique after struggling with traditional methods and now confidently completes times tables drills without freezing up when faced with new numbers.

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.
