I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to open a rapport that makes them feel safe and understood, an environment where they are not afraid to try and even not afraid to fail, in the knowledge that with help and direction they can try again and do better. With the acceptance that 1 style (or even 10 styles!) of teaching…

I think that a tutor should not limit themselves to just subject knowledge. They should research more on effective teaching methods and strategies that might help them connect to their students more. They should develop practices that make a student's life easier and should understand the individual needs of the students. Often tutors have to…

For me, the most important thing is helping students actually enjoy math and feel comfortable with the process of not knowing right away. A lot of math is about sitting with that discomfort, resisting the urge to panic, and trusting that if you think logically, you’ll find a way through—even if it’s not the “textbook†method. I want…

The most important thing in teaching any subject is showing the big picture along with the nitty-gritty. I hope that my student can see the beauty in the sometimes boring schoolwork, and see the deep underlying connection and unity of it all.

Inside StepneyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Leo practised multiplication facts up to 12x tables and worked on basic equivalent fractions with denominators up to 5.

In Year 8, Sarah focused on solving linear equations and revising graphical coordinates, including plotting points on the Cartesian plane.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Tom tackled Pythagoras' Theorem using real-world triangle problems and explored introductory trigonometry concepts through guided examples.

Recent Challenges

A Year 3 student hesitated to write times tables, often needing drawn aids and still unsure of multiplication basics.

In Year 7 algebra, "he skipped showing steps in equations, which hid sign errors," leading to confusion with negatives and missed feedback opportunities.

A Year 9 student's work was scattered across the page—numbers blended together and operators lost—making it hard to trace their logic during trigonometry problems.

Meanwhile, a senior student faced setbacks when distracted on the laptop during coordinate geometry tasks; answers were attempted mentally but mistakes crept in, leaving corrections unseen until review.

Recent Achievements

One Stepney tutor noticed a Year 9 student who, after regularly skipping steps in algebra, now writes out his process clearly and explains how he arrives at answers—especially when tackling mixed-to-improper fractions.

In another session, a Year 11 student who previously hesitated to ask for help during assignments started flagging questions on index laws that felt tricky, then worked through them independently after just one prompt.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner surprised her tutor by confidently applying the same rule to both numerator and denominator for equivalent fractions—a real turnaround from needing every step modelled last week.

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 St Peters Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like East Adelaide School.
