Have patience, and also confidence in your student. Additionally, encouragement and enthusiasm. Encouragement and belief in the student goes a long way, as I believe some students don't even believe in themselves I believe I have great communication skills as well as a very calm and patient temperament. I have always enjoyed being a leader and…

Understanding and patience, some students lack knowledge of basic concepts and require a boost, so it's important to tailor tutoring styles to each student, whether that is written examples or oral analogies, especially in the Maths and Sciences. I can simplify things to the most basic form, which is what I needed help with when I was in high…

English Tutor Thornlie, WA
Ideally, although admittedly ironic, you want a student to be able to stand on their own two feet and achieve their goals without the need of a tutor at some point. So, although the direct role of a tutor is to teach content, the wider, arguably more profound role of a tutor is to teach lifelong skills, habits, and techniques that students can…

This means more than just helping them understand content—it involves creating a space where they feel heard, valued, and encouraged to ask questions without fear of judgment. I strive to equip…

First, I think a tutor should have good subject and curriculum knowledge so that they may be able to provide as much information as they can towards the kids. I think communication skills is another important thing a tutor must have (the way they explain the topics so that it is easy for the students to understand). Finally a tutor must be patient…

Tutoring is a form of specialised teaching, and two-way communication is fundamental to successful teaching. It is easy to talk at a child to teach them a concept on a basic level, but patience, asking the child questions and listening to their responses effectively are essential elements in ensuring the student understands the content. From many…

I think that as a tutor, we should be different from teachers at school. We should provide extra care to their needs and catering to what areas of a particular topic they are struggling with, in order for them to improve. Therefore, I think that conducting a personalized teaching plan for the students to observe and explore what methods they can…

The most important thing a tutor can do for their student is to celebrate even the smallest of wins. No matter how slow or hard progress is, it is still progress!

Being able to provide support.

Inside CanningtonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Zivah practised breaking down large numbers into their place values and worked through multiplication of 2s and 3s using targeted exercises.

For Year 8, Aiden focused on simplifying linear equations and substituting variables for number values, building fluency with algebraic expressions.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ellie reviewed consumer arithmetic topics such as percentage increase and decrease in the context of income tax, alongside exploring atomic structure and periodic table groupings in introductory chemistry.

Recent Challenges

A Year 7 student repeatedly avoided completing homework, even after reminders ("Did not do homework again"), which led to limited practice on key algebra and fractions concepts.

In Year 9, a lack of note-taking during class meant important problem-solving steps were missed when attempting worded questions—this made it difficult to break down what the question required, especially under time pressure.

A Year 10 student was heavily reliant on calculators for basic operations; when asked to work without one in class, calculation errors increased and confidence dropped.

"She waited for my approval before answering," observed a tutor with a Year 5 student grappling with times tables—uncertainty often halted progress mid-question.

Recent Achievements

One Cannington tutor noticed a big shift in Shrika's approach to algebra—she used the "talking aloud" strategy consistently, asked for extra clarification until she was sure of each step, and then solved new questions without help, something she hesitated to do before.

Remy, a high school student, worked through worded problems with much more independence this week; after some initial guidance, broke down each question herself and finished her worksheet accurately.

In Year 4, Zivah tackled all textbook practice problems on her own for the first time and only needed minimal support from her tutor.

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 Cannington Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Cannington Community College.
