I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student to provide help and support at any cost and at any given time. Being supportive and positive can really help a students understanding. I am very calm, and I can really go slow or fast, depending on the individual. Being only 18, I would be very relatable and personable to my…

One of the most important things a tutor can do is give students the confidence and skills to learn and succeed by themselves. Each student is unique, and so in order for every student to reach their maximum potential I am able to adapt my teaching style and experiment with different learning styles to see what best suits my student. I am able…

I would find that the ability to diversify how you communicate with a range of students is highly important. This is due to the differing ways that each student learns and providing an individualised structure will benefit their learning capability. I find that a student who fails to connect with a tutor will not see an improvement in their grades…

Actively listen, that’s what lacks the most in a school-student relationship which breaks down a student and make them approach outside help. If a tutor fails to listen to the students needs, they are failing this role miserably. It’s the core of being a tutor, besides knowing what you’re telling your student. This not only makes the student…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is listen to them.

Then combatting this problem by exploring different ways to present a difficult concept. I do this using analogies and using simple…

If the student is seeking a tutor, most likely their own school teacher isn't enough. Hence, as a tutor, the extra help they sought, needs to seek better ways to help the student improve.

Local Reviews

During the first phone call, I felt the staff member was quite rushed. I had a lot to explain and felt I didn't get to finish. His final decision was no, the company probably couldn't help me but I persisted. Then it worked out in the end and I got a tutor. The tutor has attended once and I'm happy with him.
MS, Shelley

Inside ShelleyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Aryan practised dividing fractions and calculating percentages, focusing on applying these skills to piecewise defined relationships.

In Year 10, Ethan worked through factoring and expanding quadratic expressions as well as a brief introduction to compound interest using step-by-step examples.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Grace revised matrix multiplication and explored the normal distribution in statistics, also touching on key finance topics relevant to her coursework.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student struggled with factorising quadratics in a test and, as noted, "ran out of time"—test anxiety led to second-guessing answers and slow progress.

In Year 10 maths, skipping clear layout on simultaneous equations meant errors weren't spotted until feedback was given; the tutor wrote, "laying out answers properly and clearly" was still an issue.

In primary maths, one child hesitated to ask for help when stuck multiplying large numbers—missing chances to clarify confusion early.

For a senior student using the CAS Classpad, over-reliance on calculator steps made it harder to remember key finance formulas without prompts during practice.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Shelley noticed one Year 10 student, who previously hesitated to check her own work, now confidently uses the "talking aloud" technique and backchecks her answers on quadratic expansions—meaning she trusts her instincts but also double-checks without wasting time.

Another high schooler has shifted from struggling with linear equations to independently substituting values and successfully graphing lines, even explaining how slope direction changes with gradient sign.

In a younger session, a primary student who rarely participated began asking more questions when uncertain and started showing all working steps for each maths problem before moving on.

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 Riverton Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Shelley Primary School.
