The most important things an english tutor can do for a student extend beyond simply imparting knowledge. Firstly, a tutor should strive to cultivate a supportive and encouraging learning environment, where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. Building confidence is key to academic success. Secondly, a tutor should…

I think that this does vary student to student (haha sorry bit of an off question-answer!) But largely and for those that are shy it's being approachable and this means anything the student doesn't understand, the student should be eager to ask you if you are approachable. And for those who aren't so shy and often at a higher level too, my answer…

I believe the most important thing an english tutor can do is to be very clear and not convoluted when explaining topics, equations, etc. to students, as it can be very easy to get intimated as a student and end up confused. I believe it is also important not to assume any knowledge straight away from students but to intentionally ask what it is…

The most important thing for an english tutor is that they further the learning and understanding of their student. An important role of the tutor to do this is to assist the student to learn in a way they can understand.

I believe the most important thing an english tutor can do is to understand each student. Each student faces different academic struggles, at varying levels. It is crucial for tutors to sense the students' needs, listen to them, and tailor their tutoring style to enhance students' learning ability. My strengths are empathy. I used to have poor…

I think an english tutor has to be flexible enough to change his or her teaching methods to cater for each student's personal condition. I also think that it is important for a tutor to be able to give student-life repeated advice that helps older students achieve the ideal study-work-life balance. I took the International Baccalaureate Diploma…

Take the time to ensure the student understands the concept and what the expectation is before moving on to the next topic. This is because I believe it makes it easier to remember and apply the infomation later on and it makes learning a bit more interested as you can appreciate and comprehend what you are learning. My first priority is the…

A tutor needs to have multiple ways to teach as there are students who learn at different pace.

Inside South PerthTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Riley worked through place value to support multiplication, then practiced short division using worded problems for real-world context.

In Year 8, Hannah focused on mean, median, mode, and range calculations along with large addition and subtraction tasks from the Year 8 syllabus.

For Year 9, Jay tackled trigonometry concepts including SOHCAHTOA as well as working with gradients and y-intercepts by linking tables to graphs during algebraic exercises.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 English, "written expression" stood out as a recurring challenge—one student's ideas were strong when spoken but "just needed to write it down," especially in creative writing where grammar and holistic articulation held them back.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 Maths lesson revealed over-reliance on familiar problems: notes were used well for standard tasks, but applying them to unfamiliar calculator questions was avoided.

A Year 7 student working on fractions and percentages hesitated to trust their own working and often looked for patterns instead of understanding concepts. This sometimes left mistakes hidden until revision sessions.

Recent Achievements

One South Perth tutor recently noticed a big change in a Year 10 student who had struggled to link fractions, decimals, and percentages—after several sessions, she could explain their interconnections on her own and used new strategies without prompting.

In Year 12, John moved from being hesitant about statistics to independently solving mode, median, range, and mean problems; he now asks for clarification rather than leaving answers blank.

Meanwhile, Riley in Year 5 went from guessing short division answers to working through problems fluently with just occasional place value hints. Last week he finished his worksheet without errors.

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 South Perth Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Wesley College.
