English Tutor Hackham, SA
The most important things for tutors to do is to support, guide and teach a student. It is important for a tutor to help students learn life skills as well as how to do their given subject. Above all, it is crucical for a tutor to help a student help themselves. As the saying goes 'give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, he'll…

It is important to be there to support them. Students can often find themselves struggling to understand because they're not sure whether or not they can ask for help. As a tutor you have the opportunity to be there for them and answer any questions as well as help them solve any problems. You can help them develop new strengths and teach them to…

Be a role model and show them that it’s ok not to not be able to understand something at the beginning, but there is always a way around it to better their understandings. It’s also important for a tutor to help students reach their goals, whether that be getting certain grades or finishing an assignment. I’m a patient person and can work…

One of the main most important things a tutor can do for a student is increase their confidence with the subjects you are helping them to learn. Increasing their confidence makes it easier for them to learn and has a positive effect on their self esteem. This can also increase their motivation to learn and therefore assist in improving their study…

Inside WoodcroftTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Oliver worked on rearranging equations and expanding brackets, using step-by-step examples to build confidence.

Year 10 student Hannah practised finding the equation of a line given two points and explored perpendicular lines by graphing and interpreting worded problems ahead of her test.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Emily focused on expected value and variance in probability, tackling probability mass functions and interpreting what expected value means in practical contexts.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 algebra, one student was "missing their book with 'mini-theorems' in it"—organization lapses like this slowed revision and meant key formulas weren't at hand.

A Year 10 learner often found rearranging equations tricky; steps became unclear when layout was messy, making it tough to spot where sign errors crept in.

In senior calculus, another student hesitated to tackle difficult integrals without notes for reassurance, so only familiar types got practiced—this left gaps before tests.

During a Year 11 statistics task, confusion about which method to use meant extra time spent deciding rather than working through solutions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Woodcroft recently noticed a Year 10 student who had previously hesitated to ask for help now actively checks her understanding by clarifying steps aloud when tackling simultaneous equations.

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student who used to struggle with calculus independently applied the quotient rule and completed sign diagrams on his own during revision—something he'd needed guidance with before.

In another session, a younger student made a breakthrough connecting fractions, decimals, and percentages after initially mixing them up.

One high schooler wrapped up by calculating standard deviation independently for the first time.

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 Woodcroft Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Woodcroft College.
