Apart from Academics, I value teaching life skills and life values to students. They should be a good person before being a good employee. As a tutor I am strict when I have to be and lenient when the situation requires. It’s always good to change lanes when required and not stay put on being strict. Each student is a different person and it…

When a tutor can make a student have a better learning and understanding rather than what they have accepted during school and in personal study. Helping them to reach better grades is a plus, but having them understanding a concept is a must. I have a younger sister.

I consider that the most important thing I could do for the student is to create a safe environment for them. That means ensuring that I don't do or say anything that will make them feel they are being judged, as this may hinder their willingness to engage comfortably. Creating a comfortable space where the student feels safe in making mistakes…

Be honest. Even tutors get things wrong at times and need time to solve some problems. Practice beforehand. I believe this helps in case something comes up that the tutor will find confusing too. Be patient and be able to repeat. It's not you that you are tutoring but someone else who needs help. Be considerate. See at the eye level of…

If a tutor develops a sense of trust and belief of a student so the student can ask anything, even a thousand times without hesitating is the most important thing. That bond can make learning better and more fun as well. I teach by getting to the intellectual level of the student. It takes a little time to understand the student and how they…

Local Reviews

Maddie is enjoying her sessions with Courtney and we're happy with her tutoring at this stage. With only two sessions, it's still very early to see any progress, but I was well impressed with Courtney's availability to help Maddie, including sending extra resources via email. Much appreciated. So far, all is well.

Inside FerndaleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Ava focused on mean, median, mode and range in statistics and interpreted Venn diagrams to compare data sets.

Year 9 student Jacob worked through congruency and similarity proofs for triangles as well as reviewing fraction operations.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ella practiced solving questions involving simple interest and refreshed her understanding of decimal operations using targeted textbook exercises.

Recent Challenges

In Year 4, one student repeatedly forgot to complete homework and became frustrated when facing subtraction regrouping—this led to a breakdown during the session.

A Year 6 learner showed over-reliance on calculators for even basic calculations: "He reached for the calculator straight away in class, skipping mental checks."

In Year 11 Mathematics Specialist, review of past assessment tasks was missed, making it harder to pinpoint recurring errors before exams.

For a senior Chemistry student, skipped revision on ionic equations resulted in confusion with unfamiliar reaction types. Confidence dropped noticeably after setbacks; work was sometimes abandoned mid-task.

Recent Achievements

A Ferndale tutor noticed a big shift in one Year 10 student who used to freeze when facing tricky equations—this week, she tackled complex algebraic problems with far less hesitation and even chose the right method herself.

Another high schooler, previously unsure about chemistry concepts, managed to answer acid-base questions accurately without prompts and completed a full set of practice test problems independently.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who was reluctant to attempt worded time problems last month has started solving them confidently, finishing her latest set without skipping any questions.

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 Riverton Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Fountain College - Lynwood Campus.
