Patience is first and foremost when you're with a student. It is vastly important that you should respect the pace at which the student learns and works at, to never pressure or rush the student, to challenge them without making them feel small or inadequate. We all learn in different ways and at different speeds - none of which are better or…

Help support the student so that tutoring does not become another point of stress for the student. When I was tutored years ago I found that when the tutor listened to be and walked me through things at my pace was when I felt that the tutoring was the most effective. My ability to be able to connect, to listen, and understand those who are…

The most important thing is to ensure that a student properly understands the task in front of them so that at a later stage, they are able to work independently and without assistance. A tutor also needs to remain positive and act as a positive influence over the student and ensure the student feels safe and comfortable at all times. I am…

I believe the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is the ability for the student to develop a independent style of learning and facing adversities with a strategy in mind. This allows the student to not only develop academically but also fosters a lifestyle of learning that will help them transition into high education. I am…

First and foremost, an english tutor has to gel up with the student, make him/her comfortable. Once that is done, the teaching method adopted must be interesting, with must include examples from daily life so that the student can relate to it easily. Moreover, a diagrammatic approach must be used while teaching, since, children tend to remember…

Learning can be frustrating at times, so it is really important to be encouraging and supportive. A good tutor does not just help with the content - they help build the student's confidence.…

A tutor must build two things in a student: confidence and knowledge. A tutor develops confidence in a student by simplifying the learning process. Through tips and shortcuts, the student will confidently answer questions. The tutor also expands the student's knowledge by providing exposure to different learning materials. With these both, the…

I believe the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to encourage the individual to be more confident in their own abilities.

The power of being non-judgmental. A tutor must understand that every student has different learning capabilities and focus more on students that find it difficult to grasp concepts without belittling them. I believe I have two strengths as a tutor- 1. I do not follow the status quo/ set pattern of teaching. I like to mix things up so that my…

I can make the student not only competent, but also comfortable and confident in a certain topic. I understand how stressful hard subjects can be. I want to take away the feeling of fear when students enter a class they think they're not good in. Another thing is teaching a student to be an autodidact. I was fortunate enough to know this tactic…

My biggest strength is patience. Sometimes it takes students a long time to begin to understand certain concepts and…

A tutor should have the ability to share information in a way that others will learn, grasp the concepts, understand the input. A tutor should be able to know strengths and weakness of a student.

I would say the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is helping them grow as individuals, and help them find a love for learning - a strong passion for the academic studies. A tutor needs to also serve as a good role model for the students, and be a person the student can trust to help them improve their grades. I would say…

Inside CockburnTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Chloe worked on finding area and perimeter of squares and rectangles, using diagrams to help visualise measurement.

In Year 9, Aiden explored narrative analysis in English by breaking down literary devices like metaphor and allusion, as well as practising persuasive writing techniques such as emotive language and anecdote in preparation for assessments.

For Year 10 maths, Lucas revised solving linear inequalities and graphing their solutions, alongside work on simultaneous equations with substitution and elimination methods.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 English, one student did not finish their novel before the deadline and struggled to recall key details when questioned; "he needs to reread the ending until he can more effectively comprehend it."

In Year 11 Legal Studies, another was reluctant to attempt questions with unfamiliar wording unless prompted, avoiding independent problem-solving.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student repeatedly left homework incomplete due to confusion and did not attempt tasks without immediate support. This led to missed opportunities for feedback and practice—questions went unanswered, and confidence faltered when faced with new or challenging material.

Recent Achievements

One Cockburn tutor recently noticed a big turnaround for Caitlin in maths: after re-trying her previous assessment, she answered every question correctly, showing real persistence where she'd struggled before.

In Year 10, Nikita flagged tricky finance problems herself during the session instead of waiting passively—she then worked through how payment plans add extra costs and could explain her reasoning back to the tutor.

Meanwhile, Aiden (Year 9) started building a steady reading habit by completing all set chapters for English ahead of time and took initiative to research evidence for his persuasive essay 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 Success Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like SEDA College WA (Cockburn).
