English Tutor Riverton, WA
A tutor must be very patient, approachable, and accepting, as students should feel safe and comfortable enough to ask any question without facing any judgment. A warm and friendly environment must be established. This is the most effective way for a student to learn, and be open to learning. A tutor must also be able to provide examples of the…

English Tutor Parkwood, WA
Patience and listening to the students needs. I have had teachers and parents who would get easily frustrated and that can greatly affect a student's confidence. Building a students confidence is integral in the learning process. Also I feel that each course should be focused around the students own personal needs. Text book teaching/tutoring, I…

From my experience, the desire to learn and succeed must come from within, but once that feeling is there it is the tutor's responsibility to cultivate and grow this passion and to translate it into continuous improvement. Hence, one of the most important things that a tutor can do is understand the student's needs and to meet those needs in a…

Being able to relate and convey information effectively to a student is an important skill for tutors to possess. As a student, they already have teachers who supply the material, and parents who remind them to study, but as a tutor, our job is to be a guide, and friend and offer help according to each of their individual needs. Another valuable…

A successful tutuor does more than merely help a student to raise their grade. In my opinion, a tutor should make an impression on a student.

I believe that tutors must be good analyzers if they want to succeed. I mean that they have to examine the way students study and practice and even think. After a good observation, they can provide students with the tools with which students can improve their weaknesses. This can be different form one student to another one. Besides, Encouraging…

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.
