Psychology Tutor Willetton, WA
I think the most important things a tutor can do are to make the student feel understood, build their confidence, and explain concepts in a way that truly makes sense to them. As someone who is still a student myself, I know how overwhelming things can get, so I try to create a comfortable space where they are not afraid to ask questions or make…

Psychology Tutor Hamilton Hill, WA
I think the most important is to follow the students lead. They will often know their weaknesses and from spending time working with them, you can take note of possible areas of improvement. However, at the end of the day you are there to help the student so by listening and communicating effectively both parties will be satisfied. The ability to…

Psychology Tutor Leeming, WA
It is a necessity for a tutor to establish rapport with their students. As a proponent of a theory in rapport for learners, it is important that the student and teacher must sense each other, sync in their teaching and learning process and experience an affirming positive experience while educating. I am very creative in teaching my students. I…

I think that the most important thing a tutor can do is build the student's confidence in themselves and their own abilities so that the student is able to realise that with a little guidance and support they can achieve anything they want. I think my biggest strength as a tutor is that I have the patience required to explain a new challenging…

Psychology Tutor Shelley, WA
A tutor must be very patient, approachable, and accepting, as students should feel safe and comfortable enough to ask any question without facing any judgment. A warm and friendly environment must be established. This is the most effective way for a student to learn, and be open to learning. A tutor must also be able to provide examples of the…

Inside CoolbellupTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Chloe focused on reading comprehension strategies and converting fractions to decimals and vice versa, using practical examples.

In Year 8, James practised factorisation by taking out common factors and worked through index laws with step-by-step problem solving.

For Year 10, Olivia revised surface area of prisms including portions and calculated the volume of solids such as cylinders, applying formulas to real-world shapes.

Recent Challenges

A Year 3 student was encouraged to write her working and thoughts on paper, rather than relying on mental calculations—this made her steps clearer but also revealed where logic went astray in worded maths questions.

In Year 7, overthinking often slowed down progress; as one tutor noted, "he broke up the question into too many parts and lost track of what was needed."

A Year 11 student struggled with planning ahead for assessments: forgetting exam dates led to last-minute study attempts instead of steady revision.

When homework or practice questions were left incomplete, gaps in understanding lingered until next session.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Coolbellup noticed a Year 11 student who used to rush through worded problems now pauses to underline key information before solving, which has led to fewer mistakes in her recent assessments.

In Year 9 maths, another student who previously avoided factorisation questions started using palm cards for the index laws and successfully worked through factorising expressions on her own this week.

A younger student, Year 5, who struggled with reading comprehension is now able to identify the main idea in short texts without prompting and recently read an entire GATE sample passage aloud without stumbling.

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 Coolbellup Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Coolbellup Community School.
