Being able to provide support. Sometimes, a student just needs someone to talk to- and knowing that they've been through the same thing that they have, it empowers them and encourages them to make proactive decisions in their learning. I view the foundation of effective mentorship as one of trust, mutual respect, and goal driven progress that is…

Tutoring is a form of specialised teaching, and two-way communication is fundamental to successful teaching. It is easy to talk at a child to teach them a concept on a basic level, but patience, asking the child questions and listening to their responses effectively are essential elements in ensuring the student understands the content. From many…

As stated, giving the correct guidance and the motivation for the correct way to study is extremely important. As is well knwon, we can walk a horse to the water but cannot make him drink it, similarly giving the syllabus content and teaching the subject is important, however, the most important part it to mame sure the student knows in the first…

English Tutor East Cannington, WA
I think the most important things an english tutor can do for a student are to be patient, supportive, and encouraging. A tutor should help the student understand the material, build confidence, and develop good study habits so they can learn on their own too. I think my strength as a tutor lies in being empathetic and focused on each student’s…

English Tutor Maddington, WA
Ideally, although admittedly ironic, you want a student to be able to stand on their own two feet and achieve their goals without the need of an english tutor at some point. So, although the direct role of a tutor is to teach content, the wider, arguably more profound role of a tutor is to teach lifelong skills, habits, and techniques that…

Good communication between tutor and not only students but parents as well. it is necessary for the information to be conveyed from both sides to get better results.

Inside LesmurdieTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Mia worked on percentage word problems and practiced converting between decimals, fractions, and percentages for real-life scenarios.

In Year 9, Daniel focused on solving and graphing linear equations as well as exploring how to shift quadratic graphs up, down, or sideways using graph sketches.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Sophie tackled trigonometry applications with the Sine Rule in word problems and reviewed algebraic fractions involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9, messy written work during algebra and equation tasks led to confusion when transferring answers between lines—"he mistook a 36 for 30 after rewriting the 6 to look more like a 0," one tutor observed.

In Year 11 trigonometry, over-reliance on calculators meant basic division (e.g., dividing by 2 or 5) was avoided, making mental arithmetic weaker and slowing problem-solving in class.

For Year 7 probability, homework was sometimes incomplete; this left gaps in understanding multiplication of brackets.

After setbacks in test settings, hesitation increased and confidence dropped—often waiting for reassurance before attempting harder questions.

Recent Achievements

In one high school session, Remy—who previously felt anxious about linear equations—chose to tackle them first and, despite early frustration, began asking thoughtful questions about their purpose as she worked through the problems.

Meanwhile, Niru made a notable shift by independently testing out his own strategy for solving a maths problem instead of relying solely on the tutor's guidance—a big step towards self-driven learning.

With a younger student, strategies for converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages finally clicked after several lessons; he started recognising when simplifying would earn extra marks and applied it 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 Kalamunda Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Brigid's College.
