I believe patience and perseverance are the two most important qualities every tutor needs. As a student, I learnt skills at a slower pace than my peers. Thanks to my patient and determined lecturers and tutors, I have reached university. I will do my level best to show the same skill to my students. Being a student right now is one of my…

As a tutor, I believe it's important for students to understand that we don't function in the same way as students. The best thing I could do as a tutor is to be empathetic when they find it difficult to understand something, consult in areas they are specifically struggling with, and catering how I teach to how I think the student would best…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to create a general interest for the subject they're studying, where the student does not dread their tutoring time but instead look forward to learning more and more. In my opinion, tutoring is not only about improving the student's grades or having extra help, but it is also a way to…

The tutor should actively listen to the student to analyze the core problem being faced by him and develop a tailored solution to address it. He should always try to motivate the student on how to deal with new obstacles in academics.

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.
