Science Tutor St James, WA
Most importantly, listen! A lot of students don't know where they are struggling but give it away with the questions they ask or the steps they take to try and solve problems. Have more than one method or way of explaining things. People have different learning styles and different past experience to attach new things onto. Being organised,…

Always go back to the basics, as many students hold themselves to ask questions they think of as "irrelevant" or "common sense", when in reality it's those questions the one's building real knowledge and solid foundations. That's why as a tutor the most important thing I can do is go beyond what they ask me or what their classes teach, as some…

I believe the best thing a tutor can do for a student is to inspire them to keep on trying and that no problem is unsolvable if they're given the right tools to approach a question. I've always sincerely enjoyed school and the process of learning, so I hope that through tutoring I'm able to not just help students with particular questions they may…

Rather than simply providing answers or solutions, a tutor should encourage students to think critically and develop their own problem-solving skills. This might involve asking open-ended questions or challenging assumptions in order to help students develop a deeper understanding of the subject matter. I have excellent communication skills, both…

I would say the most important thing is making sure the student grasps everything fully and also gets all his/her questions answered before ending the session. I would asks questions in between studies in order to ensure they are on the right track. Another important thing would be to always be calm and to treat the student with kindness. I think…

Inside St JamesTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Mieke worked on visualising data and interpreting graphs, then solved word problems involving graphing data.

In Year 10, Ronja focused on ionic equations and practised calculating titration quantities using stoichiometric ratios.

For Year 11, Fatima reviewed redox equations and oxidation numbers before revisiting subatomic particles and tackling linear equations relevant to chemistry calculations.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Chemistry, the student still shows some minor mistakes in writing chemical formulas, especially when revising ionic and polyatomic ions—missteps that lingered after sessions unless earlier material was rechecked.

A Year 9 student did not complete assigned homework or maintain a school notebook, making it difficult to track progress in new math concepts.

For a Year 6 learner, untidy handwriting made written work hard to read, leading to confusion during revision.

In English (Year 10), one student hesitated to organize thoughts on paper, often leaving drafts unfinished; as the tutor noted, "she writes well but is often hesitant."

Recent Achievements

One St James tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously relied heavily on guidance now summarising the main steps for balancing ionic equations and explaining the stoichiometric ratio's importance in titration problems—an area that had caused confusion before.

In another session, a high schooler began independently solving questions after gaps in balancing half-equations were addressed; she tackled most homework with minimal help, marking a real shift from earlier sessions.

Meanwhile, a younger student who used to rush through English assignments is now catching silly mistakes by reviewing his work more carefully, leading to clearer handwriting and fewer errors overall.

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 Victoria Park Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Millen Primary School.
