English Tutor Bull Creek, WA
I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do is care and be dedicated. I think you have to really care about the student doing well rather than just focusing on the payment, a tutor should also be dedicated to the student so that they get the best service and help possible. I believe my patience and persistence are strong strengths,…

English Tutor Bateman, WA
I can make the student not only competent, but also comfortable and confident in a certain topic. I understand how stressful hard subjects can be. I want to take away the feeling of fear when students enter a class they think they're not good in. Another thing is teaching a student to be an autodidact. I was fortunate enough to know this tactic…

I think the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to build their confidence, provide clarity on challenging concepts, and, most importantly, inspire a genuine curiosity to learn more. A good tutor should create an environment where students feel supported, ask questions freely, and explore topics beyond the lesson because they…

First and foremost it would be building a strong rapport with the student and gaining mutual trust and respect. This builds a foundation of confidence and comfort which optimises a students ability to learn and their attitude towards learning.

I am compassionate when teaching, I like to make the student feel…

Inside SpearwoodTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Chinnu focused on times tables practice and graphed results to track progress, then worked on simplifying fractions and explored their relationship to decimals and percentages.

For Year 10, Alex reviewed parabolas and quadratic equations by tackling pre-test problems and practiced breaking down larger questions into manageable steps.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Jamie revised graph theory concepts including Eulerian and Semi-Eulerian paths, alongside a review of recent test material to clarify any gaps in understanding.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9, a student tackling algebra often disengaged when unsure how to start a problem—"if he doesn't know it straight away, he tends to give up," as one tutor observed. This led to unfinished questions and missed opportunities for practice.

Meanwhile, in Year 4 maths, another student would skip over times tables she didn't instantly recall rather than using alternative strategies or working them out.

In senior years, incomplete homework and unclear written steps meant errors were hidden in trigonometry solutions.

For several students across Years 5–7, inconsistent use of revision notes made later study sessions less effective and more stressful.

Recent Achievements

One Spearwood tutor noticed a real shift in Dominique's approach: she now asks for help when stuck, instead of quietly skipping questions—last session, she finished every task and even tried out thinking aloud to work through trickier maths.

In a recent high school lesson, Harrison moved from confusion about quadratics to correctly picking out key features of parabolas after targeted practice between weeks.

Meanwhile, Chinnu blended his love of art with maths by graphing times tables speed; this extra effort meant he handed in his results homework fully completed and ready to use as a progress baseline.

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