A tutor should provide what a teacher can't. There is a reason that students seek tutoring, and it is therefore a tutor's role to meet their needs. I believe patience is the most important thing. Not everyone thinks the same, and its important for a tutor to understand this, and to move at a pace that suits the student, whilst also challenging…

Be able to empathize with them and motivate them to be confident in what they're learning and apply this knowledge not only in a classroom, but use it in real life. I am a great listener and patient with kids. I believe in not only tutoring them but also have the ability to learn from them. I also have the drive to learn which is one of my…

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…

This is completely dependent on the student. Capable students may just need iteration on why this is important to learn coming from a peer rather than a guardian (something I would have benefited from as a student) to help with motivation. Other students may be motivated but lack someone who can teach in a format that they understand. I believe…

I believe that a tutor should be encouraging, and help each student excel in their own unique way, as not every student has the same way of learning. I am able to explain concepts well, and am a patient and warm person. I encourage mistakes as without them, there would be no opportunity to learn. I am also a last year Neuroscience student in UWA,…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to understand their cognitive load.

In turn, the student will be able to establish deeper understandings and be able to reach their full potential. My strengths are…

A tutor should provide a positive experience for a student. Being able to learn in a 1-on-1 environment can make a huge difference for students that don't get enough time with their teachers. Tutors should help build self-confidence. Communicating with parents, regularly updating them on their child's progress and discussing how to proceed. My…

I think the most important is to follow the students lead. They will often know their weaknesses and from spending time working with them, you can take note of possible areas of improvement. However, at the end of the day you are there to help the student so by listening and communicating effectively both parties will be satisfied. The ability to…

David has done a fantastic job. He is brilliant with the girls who are usually very shy and timid.
Zoe, Coogee

Inside CoogeeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Chinnu worked on mastering times tables and explored the relationship between fractions, decimals, and percentages by graphing results.

For Year 10, Daniel reviewed parabolas and quadratic equations, focusing on both problem-solving strategies and pre-test revision.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sarah tackled matrices and vectors from her recent assessments, along with a targeted review of key topics that appeared in her test materials.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 mathematics, one student tended to do most calculations mentally, which led to missed steps and inconsistent results—"he needs a method that suits him but shows working," as a tutor observed.

In English (Year 7), another found it difficult to organize ideas on paper, resulting in long, confusing stories; focus drifted especially when writing dialogue or solving worded math problems.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student hesitated to communicate confusion in class and rarely asked for help, making persistent gaps harder to address before assessments. The silence lingered even after lessons ended.

Recent Achievements

One Coogee tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to ask for help; now, she's openly requesting clarification on tricky questions and working through problems independently.

Another high schooler, Harrison, moved from struggling to identify key features of parabolas in week one to confidently pinpointing them by week two—showing clear progress in understanding quadratics.

In primary sessions, Bander surprised his tutor by applying new creative writing techniques at home between lessons, showing initiative and ownership over his learning that wasn't there before.

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 Spearwood Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Coogee Primary School.
