The most important things a tutor can do are to build a student's confidence, create a safe learning environment, and foster a genuine curiosity for the subject. A tutor should act as a guide and a mentor, not just someone who provides answers. I believe in encouraging students to think critically and learn from their mistakes, which helps them…

A good tutor should give to every student: 1- an understanding of the principles in the material; 2- the tools to tackle the material with confidence - typically inductive or deductive reasoning; and 3- an appreciation for the subject. As a homeschool parent I'm always learning new ways to teach STEM. Now semi-retired, I'm a mathematician…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student would be to support them academically and emotionally/mentally. The main aim of tutoring is to further their skills in the given area of school, but it isn't always that straight forward especially when dealing with diverse students. Understanding how they are doing emotionally and mentally is…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to be a reliable source of guidance and support. Consistency helps build trust, and when students know they can depend on their tutor, they feel more confident in their learning journey. A great tutor also adapts to the student’s needs, making lessons engaging and effective. Beyond…

The reason why a student hires a student is because they struggle in the classroom environment, where they may not get that much help from the teacher. Which is why it is important for the tutor to provide a more personal teaching method and generate a friendship between each other. Making sure you help with anything the student is struggling…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is give the student a complete and well-rounded understanding of the topic or question. With an incomplete understanding of the foundation of a question, gaps in knowledge can prohibit students from being able to navigate a straight forward process to find a solution. I believe my strengths would…

Inside Ocean ReefTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 12 student Ella worked on understanding binomial and Bernoulli distributions, along with differentiating trigonometric functions using practice questions.

In Year 11, Josh focused on normal distribution problems and interpreting sample proportions and confidence intervals from real data sets.

Meanwhile, Year 7 student Sophie strengthened her skills with converting fractions to percentages and practiced adding fractions using visual aids for clarity.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student struggled to translate word problems into equations, often confusing "multiplying by two" with "squaring"—as a tutor noted, "he wrote 2x instead of x²."

In Year 10 algebra, copying working from previous examples led to confusion when faced with unfamiliar questions; this habit blocked real understanding.

A senior student in statistics needed repeated prompting to use formulas for confidence intervals, hesitating without clear steps and missing the link between terms and methods.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner relied on times tables charts for basic multiplication, which slowed progress on multi-step problems and chipped away at her confidence mid-task.

Recent Achievements

One Ocean Reef tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to hesitate with tricky probability problems now confidently chooses between Binomial and Discrete Random Variables, showing real independence.

A Year 11 student who struggled to see mistakes in her maths test recently reviewed her answers, understood where she went wrong, and fixed them herself without prompting.

At the primary level, one younger learner has shifted from guessing at decimal placement to consistently lining up numbers correctly—she now pauses and checks before answering, rather than rushing through. Last session, she placed every decimal accurately on her own.

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 St Simon Peter Catholic Primary School.
