Chemistry Tutor Glenunga, SA
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to teach them how to approach and work through a problem. The tutor is there to explain the content of the course and help the student through the question rather than just showing them the answer. I am patient and enjoy working through problems. I also can breakdown and explain concepts in…

Chemistry Tutor St Marys, SA
I believe an important role a tutor has is not only easing a student's fears about a subject (in particular Mathematics), but encouraging them when the student feels disheartened over task loads or low grades. I also believe tutors must help students develop healthy self-study habits that encourage them to try solving problems themselves before…

Chemistry Tutor Colonel Light Gardens, SA
I think personalising the teaching approach for each student is very important as no student will learn and grasp concepts the same, so having the awareness to be able to adapt to different students is very important, which will in turn improve the students confidence and grades. I think asking for feedback from students is also very important,…

To make the session interesting. It would be tough for…

I reckon trying to keep the student enthusiastic and motivated about his/her work is one of the most important things to think about as a tutor. Students should never feel like they are trying in vain. Keeping their morale high can lead to great results. Also, aiming to develop independent thinking skills of the student is critical because he/she…

I believe a tutor should be able to pass on their mindset of growth and resilience to a student. A student's life would never end after just school, and being resilient and believing that you could grow above any challenges would be a huge key to their own success. While I am not a good communicator, I am a good observer. I am able to recognize…

Local Reviews

Griffith has been fantastic.
Samantha

Inside Upper SturtTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ava focused on building multiplication and division skills, as well as applying these to everyday money scenarios.

In Year 10, Lucas worked through trigonometric equations and tackled circular geometry problems using visual aids.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Sam addressed applications of integration and explored magnetic induction by linking mathematical techniques to physics contexts.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student was observed not completing much revision between sessions, which meant he "hadn't done much revision between our last two sessions," leaving him less prepared for upcoming tests.

In Year 12 Physics, another student understood the theory during lessons but struggled to recall methods independently when tackling homework. One tutor noted, "he can work out problems with encouragement but struggles to remember how he solved similar equations the previous Sunday."

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student frequently mixed up cents and dollars in money questions—messy working made it harder to spot these misunderstandings in time.

Recent Achievements

One Upper Sturt tutor noticed a Year 10 student who, after initially relying on rote memorisation for kinematics, began applying concepts independently and handed in fully self-checked notes for revision.

In a Year 8 session, a student who used to quietly guess at division problems now eagerly explains each step aloud, showing new ownership of her thinking.

Meanwhile, a younger learner made the leap from struggling with basic time questions to confidently choosing when to add or subtract minutes without prompting—ending the lesson by finishing all ten time word problems correctly on her own.

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 Stirling Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Upper Sturt Primary School.
