I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is provide support at all times needed, whether it is via social networking or phone call. In my past experiences I had tutors that were frequently available via messenger and I found this very helpful. I am a confident and enthusiastic person. As a tutor, these abilities help me…

First and foremost, a tutor has to gel up with the student, make him/her comfortable. Once that is done, the teaching method adopted must be interesting, with must include examples from daily life so that the student can relate to it easily. Moreover, a diagrammatic approach must be used while teaching, since, children tend to remember pictures…

I consider the most important thing a tutor can do is to personalise the teaching to each student.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is understand their situation and their difficulties so they can adapt to their teaching situation.

In my opinion, two things should be expected from a tutor. The first is fairly obvious, and that is good quality teaching. Without this, a student would gain very little from their time with the tutor. The other being, time and effort. I personally believe this is as important as the first because a driven and motivated tutor would not only teach,…

Very impressed with the first tutoring session. Tutor was very friendly and helpful and answered any questions that i had. Was surprised with how much work was gotten through in just one hour.

Inside The SpectaclesTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Daniel practised completing the square for quadratic equations and revisited probability assessment questions.

In Year 10, Olivia worked on solving simultaneous equations using both elimination and substitution methods.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ethan tackled division of polynomial expressions by linear divisors and solved cubic function equations.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student tackling algebra often made calculation errors when solving for variables; as one tutor noted, "frequent algebra mistakes occur," especially with negatives and fractions, which meant time was spent fixing old errors instead of building new skills.

In Year 11, cramming report writing close to the due date led to rushed drafts and overlooked feedback—reporting earlier would have eased this pressure.

For a Year 7 student, scattered lesson materials in multiple folders created confusion about what needed to be learned. This lack of organization left her unsure where to start each session.

Recent Achievements

In The Spectacles, a Year 11 student independently spotted no real solution to a quadratic equation—a concept that had caused confusion in previous assessments.

A Year 9 student who once rushed through their work has begun writing out workings clearly, resulting in fewer errors and much more careful problem-solving at every step.

A primary student who used to guess answers now pauses to ask questions when unsure, showing a big move toward active learning. In the last session, this younger learner finished all ten subtraction problems unaided.

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