SHAHANA

English Tutor Clarkson, WA
The most crucial things a tutor can do for a student are academic supervision, human connection, and consistency, and the combination of these can possibly redefine a class, subject, or school more generally for a learner. A high level of energy and patience are two of my strongest assets. I strongly rely on these traits when I'm tutoring. My…

A tutor should firstly be encouraging; to be more confident in their studies, for them to work hard and try their best, and to inspire a love of learning. Secondly, it is imperative to be understanding. Every student is unique, with varying goals, learning styles, and abilities, so learning should be tailored to each individual to ensure every…

A tutor should push the student as much as they possibly can. Not answer the questions for them, continue making sure the student understands throughout a session and asking the student to teach a question to the tutor. A tutor can build the confidence of a student, reassuring the student on their strengths, and encouraging them to build and…

I consider an improvement in confidence incredibly significant to a child's attitude to learning. If a student is confident in their abilities to learn a subject, then they will be more likely to put effort into correcting their mistakes. This confidence and ability to recognise improvement will directly and positively affect the student's self…

I think the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to make learning fun so they don't feel pressured into doing work but if it's fun they are going to enjoy it more. Even little things such as brain breaks are going to benefit the child so they can give their brain a break before diving back into it. I want to make sure that all…

The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to help them see the subject in the light that they do and nurture their interest in it. Failure in getting the concepts also leads to fear and that's where a tutor has to support the student , to prevent them from losing confidence in themselves. My biggest strength as a tutor is my…

Let the students understand where they have gone wrong and, instead of telling them the answer right away, letting the student work it out for themselves with some guidance from the tutor if necessary. This way, the student can start to learn how to notice their own mistakes and will be able to further develop their writing style. One comment I…

It's important to be understanding, to listen to what a student (or parent) wants to get out of tutoring, and to focus on the student's goals. It's also important to be clear in your teaching, and to come up with creative and interesting ways to teach each student, as every student is different. I have a very enthusiastic and positive approach to…

Inside JoondalupTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Emma revised financial maths, including budgeting and both simple and compound interest calculations, in preparation for her exam.

For Year 10, Caitlin focused on OLNA revision by working through practice tests covering ratios, area/perimeter/volume, measurement conversions, and interpreting data.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Isaac tackled trigonometry—solving right-angled triangles with sine and cosine rules—and reviewed simultaneous equations as well as linear graphing skills using worked examples.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student often hesitated to work independently during algebra exercises, with a tutor noting, "she avoids being independent in thinking while working on exercises."

In Year 10, another student regularly relied on re-covering basic concepts rather than practicing new or challenging questions after sessions, leading to slower progress when faced with unfamiliar problems.

A senior student in Physics (Year 12) struggled to explain what derived expressions meant in context, making it difficult to justify answers in assignments.

In each case, avoidance of targeted practice or deeper explanation led to confusion and less confidence tackling assessment-style tasks.

Recent Achievements

One Joondalup tutoring session saw a high school student, Ellis, independently working through exam-style questions—he quickly identified how to approach each problem and only needed occasional hints, a clear step up from earlier sessions where he hesitated to start without guidance.

In Year 10 maths, Caitlin recently solved compound and simple interest problems on her own after initially needing step-by-step support; she now applies both formulas confidently without prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger student, Emma, managed to recall classroom information with minimal reminders and tackled most practice questions solo for the first time this term.

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 Joondalup Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Wanneroo Secondary College - Joondalup Campus.
