Listening to a student is the most important thing a tutor can do. It allows you to prepare better for future sessions and meet the needs of the students. It also helps you modify your teaching approach to keep the students engaged in the class. I believe my approach to teaching is efficient as I break down concepts to the basics and use multiple…

I think that this does vary student to student (haha sorry bit of an off question-answer!) But largely and for those that are shy it's being approachable and this means anything the student doesn't understand, the student should be eager to ask you if you are approachable. And for those who aren't so shy and often at a higher level too, my answer…

Always tell them not to be scared to ask. I often realize students are uncomfortbale to ask when they need help. It is important to ask for help and not to be embarassed about it because developing and making it better is good rather than silent. In studying English specifically, it is good to ask them to find something relate to the language…

I think the most important thing is to encourage a student to be independent and learning how to solve their own problems. So, by not giving them the answers outright but ensuring that they are taught key methods that enable them to solve their own issue is very important especially in the long term.

Inside BurswoodTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Patrick worked on addition and tallies using dice games to build number fluency, then began practicing basic column addition for improved calculation skills.

In Year 9, Charlotte focused on solving simultaneous equations by both substitution and elimination methods, as well as drawing linear graphs to visualise solutions.

For Year 10, Ethan revised trigonometry with a focus on finding unknown side lengths and angles in right-angled triangles, and practiced applying the Pythagoras theorem through targeted problem sets.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student in Chemistry struggled to keep her assessment notes both complete and accurate; as a tutor observed, "her cycles summary was slightly incorrect and incomplete," which meant extra revision time before tests.

In Year 9 Maths, another student leaned heavily on calculators for simultaneous equations, leading to less confidence with handwritten solutions during practice.

For a younger learner in Year 3, loss of focus during tallying tasks led to miscounts—he could verbally count but when writing, "something gets missed." The frustration grew visible after each error, often resulting in disengagement mid-task.

Recent Achievements

One Burswood tutor recently saw a Year 10 student move from needing step-by-step support with trigonometry to solving triangle problems independently, even selecting the correct rule (sin, cos, or tan) without prompting.

In Year 11 Chemistry, a student who previously struggled with structuring investigations can now set out a clear plan for identifying unknowns and works through sample problems mostly unaided.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who used to guess when tallying numbers now checks his own work and almost always tallies correctly; last session he confidently totalled several dice on his own.

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 St Augustine's Primary School.
