Understanding how the child learns is the single most important thing because you can't teach a child with autism the same as another child without, they both learn in completely different ways, personally I found it easier as a auditory/kinesthetic learner, meaning being taught and shown at the same time, whereas some thrive off just being taught…

I had a really good tutor through year 11 and 12, helping me understand how important it is to make the students feel confident in themselves. I think the best way to do this is by creating a good relationship with them by providing a safe space to ask questions, focusing on what the students need and tutoring them in a way that helps each student…

- Bring awareness to the students' abilities. Many students, especially struggling ones, don't know how capable they really are. I think the most important thing an english tutor can do is empower a student to take control of their own learning. I believe that all students can learn. It's just a matter of how. I like collaborating with students…

Fundamentally, an english tutor must be able to pass on their knowledge to students such that they can progress academically. This should be accompanied by helping and testing the students where necessary. I prefer to break down complex concepts into smaller ideas, which can then be used as a foundation for understanding and applying the actual…

The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student would be trying different methods to help their student learn. Sticking to the same structure when it comes to learning doesn’t work for everybody and different students learn in their own unique way.

Inside Secret HarbourTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Tom focused on identifying and analysing visual symbolism in picture books, using practice texts to strengthen his understanding ahead of English assessments.

For Year 10, Emily practised solving linear equations and graphing linear relationships, then worked through problems involving corresponding and alternate angles.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Alex reviewed congruent and similar triangles in geometry and tackled simple interest calculations using decimals and percentages as part of his maths lessons.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student's written work in English often lacked paragraph breaks when new speakers appeared, making dialogue hard to follow; as one tutor observed, "run-on sentences made it tricky to set the right tone."

In Year 10 maths, skipping the step-by-step working out—especially when rearranging formulas—meant marks were lost even when the answer was correct.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 student struggled with sentence structuring and punctuation in longer responses, which led to confusion over intended meaning.

For a senior student preparing for exams, notes showed they relied heavily on intuition rather than checking logic or revisiting feedback after mistakes.

Recent Achievements

One Secret Harbour tutor recently noticed a Year 10 student who, after struggling to analyse visual symbolism in English, is now confidently giving examples of symbolism from both pictures and texts without needing any prompts.

In a Year 7 maths session, a student who previously hesitated with fractions was able to recall last week's techniques independently and apply them correctly when multiplying and dividing.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who tended to wait for answers during worded problems has started asking clarifying questions instead of guessing, leading her to solve several division tasks on her own this week.

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 Warnbro Community Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Secret Harbour Primary School.
