In my opinion, as a tutor, it is very important to cherish the students as they progressed, acknowledging their work and encourage them to try to do with their full potential. Besides, it is important to have an understanding of their best way of learning, and encourage them to question in their learning. Furthermore, awareness of their wellbeing…

Psychology Tutor Direk, SA
I believe the most important thing a tutor can offer a child is patience. Impatience does not create a suitable learning environment. Qualities like these can prevent a child from wanting to learn, they may negatively associate with the subject, putting them further behind. Every child can succeed, given enough time. I have strengths as coach that…

Tutors serve a distinct role from teachers and parents, putting them in a unique position to assist learners. Personal relationships are crucial to student achievement; the more attached a student feels to his or her tutor, the more trust and respect the tutor instils in the student, both of which are necessary ingredients for effective learning.…

Psychology Tutor Salisbury North, SA
The most important thing is for a tutor to help a student understand the concepts, rather than giving them answers, to help them towards understanding the work independently. I consider myself to be patient with my students as they learn at their own speeds, while providing them with the path to find the answer…

Psychology Tutor Enfield, SA
Just being able to provide a good quality of help and support for a student, in an encouraging and motivating manner, is what I would consider to be the most important thing a tutor could do for their student. Furthermore, creating that resilience and space of being able to ask for help without feeling shame or guilt along the way. I believe that…

Inside Salisbury DownsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Jack worked on applying the distance and midpoint formulas to solve coordinate geometry questions, then moved on to writing equations of straight lines using different forms.

In Year 6, Olivia focused on converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages as well as simplifying fraction answers, practicing with both worded and calculation-based examples.

For a Year 4 session, Emily tackled three-digit subtraction with regrouping and began building confidence through targeted times tables practice.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student working on intersection points for straight lines sometimes relied too heavily on notes, which slowed independent progress.

In Year 9 algebra, he skipped showing steps in indices questions, making it hard to spot small sign errors.

One Year 7 student avoided saying answers aloud during decimals-to-fractions revision—this led to hesitation and second-guessing.

Meanwhile, a primary student facing long worded problems hesitated to attempt them if they looked difficult; as one tutor observed, she froze at the sight of a multi-step question, leading to unfinished practice and missed confidence-building moments.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Salisbury Downs noticed a Year 9 student who had struggled with algebra is now identifying the gradient and y-intercept in linear equations but also using formulas more independently, showing less hesitation before starting problems.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student who used to guess at fraction operations now asks for clarification when stuck and completed their homework with all answers correct—something they hadn't managed previously.

In Year 4, one student who found worded maths problems confusing was able to break them down step by step after practicing new strategies, then solved several on her own 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 Salisbury Community Hub Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Salisbury Downs Primary School.
