Psychology Tutor Burton, SA
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 Gillman, SA
As someone who studied Psychology for years, I can say that I did so because I had an excellent teacher for the subject in high school. My English teacher was also very nurturing despite my poor performance and that was an important experience for me. That encapsulates what I think is one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student:…

Psychology Tutor Largs Bay, SA
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to empower the individual to believe they can do it. This requires inspiring growth and motivation, as you cannot force someone to learn but only encourage one to try their best. To me, a student's best is always something to be celebrated and from here, I provide support and aid when the…

Psychology Tutor Port Adelaide, SA
I think it is most important for tutors to help students gain confidence in their own abilities regarding school work as this will help them succeed in life. As someone who has also struggled with school when I was younger and has informally tutored other, I think I am an empathetic and patient…

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 Torrens IslandTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Maddison worked on reviewing multiplication, division, and the **gradient formula**, including going over her recent indices quiz to identify mistakes.

Year 11 student Emily focused on applying **differentiation to kinematics problems** and finding equations of tangents to curves using examples from motion scenarios.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Jack tackled statistics topics such as **confidence intervals** and applications of integration in linear motion problems, with extra practice on interpreting slope through real-world data.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student worked through calculus questions but hesitated to simplify expressions before applying differentiation or integration rules, leading to confusion mid-problem. In one case, as noted, "she wasn't sure whether to expand brackets before integrating, which muddled her answer."

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student arrived without her word list or homework—spelling practice was disrupted and recent words weren't reviewed.

Another senior student forgot upcoming test dates and struggled to organize revision materials; she realized too late that missed planning left gaps in coverage.

During primary spelling exercises, difficulty fitting longer words into boxes led to repeated erasing and lost focus.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Torrens Island recently noticed a Year 11 student catching her own mistakes while working through calculus questions, backchecking her answers with a calculator instead of waiting for help—a big shift from needing constant reassurance before.

In Year 8 maths, another student who used to rush and forget "carried" numbers has started double-checking their work independently, making fewer errors and explaining their thinking out loud during sessions.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who once hesitated to read aloud now volunteers to tackle longer books and even moved up four reading levels after persistent practice.

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 West Lakes Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like North Haven School.
