I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to help reinforce what is being taught in class and provide them with further explanations that may be more effective/relatable and walk them through difficult concepts at their pace so they can get the greatest value from each session. Furthermore, as a tutor, I would have to…

I believe that patience, understanding, and validation are the three most important things a tutor can provide a pupil. Many students who need tutoring believe they are falling behind or that their contributions in class are insufficient, but tutors should always ensure that their students' learning is valid at their own speed and constantly…

In my experience the most important thing to understand about tutoring is that all kids learn in different ways including visually and through spoken word. All students have different strengths and in order to get the best results when teaching you have to be able to relate to your students on a level where they feel comfortable enough to ask…

The best thing a tutor can do would be to let the students grow independently through guidance and support. Instead of directing them to do things your way, it helps more to view things in their perspective and let them do things their way with an understanding of the subject. Different approaches are needed for different students. English is my…

I consider an improvement in confidence incredibly significant to a child's attitude to learning. If a student is confident in their abilities to learn a subject, then they will be more likely to put effort into correcting their mistakes. This confidence and ability to recognise improvement will directly and positively affect the student's self…

Inside TappingTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Ava focused on understanding gradients and the basics of straight-line graphs, using visual examples to clarify slope.

Year 10 student Liam tackled trigonometric ratios and right-angled triangle problems, reinforcing concepts with practice questions from recent classwork.

For a Year 6 student, Chloe worked through identifying 10% and 20% of amounts in worded money problems and practiced giving change during shopping list activities.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 mathematics, one student repeatedly forgot to double-check negatives and confused the rules for 'and'/'or' in probability questions; as a tutor noted, "some careless mistakes can be fixed by double-checking his work."

During a Year 12 algebra session, skipping written steps led to missed signs and confusion when expanding brackets.

In a Year 4 session on telling time, anxiety about getting answers wrong caused hesitation—even when she knew the method.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student's test performance suffered from distractions in noisy environments, despite demonstrating strong understanding during quieter tutoring sessions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Tapping noticed a real shift with one Year 11 student who had been averaging around the class mark all year but recently scored about 16% above average on her maths exam—she'd struggled to organise her investigations before, but this time produced much clearer written sections and nailed right-angled trigonometry questions.

In another session, a Year 9 student who usually hesitated to ask for help began pausing mid-task to clarify confusing steps instead of guessing, which meant he solved four-digit addition problems independently by the end.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner confidently counted money using different note combinations without guidance for the first time.

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