A tutor frames the way the students learn different things. As being experienced studying the same things, he/she can make the pathway of learning quite easier for the students. A tutor can be a friend and at the same time motivate students and teach them how to stay motivated. Not only this, a tutor can change the life of students by sharing…

English Tutor East Cannington, WA
For me the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to provide them with the maximum support and help they can offer. More importantly, a tutor is successful when their students succeed and achieve their goals and therefore the most important role of a tutor is to be the individual that guides them to that success. I consider myself to…

The most important is to listen to them. What tutors may want from the student could be different from what the student wants. By listening to each other and figuring out a solution, it could really make a difference in the outcome. I think as person who is calm, I can help students manage their study by suggesting logical and strategic methods to…

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…

I would say the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is helping them grow as individuals, and help them find a love for learning - a strong passion for the academic studies. A tutor needs to also serve as a good role model for the students, and be a person the student can trust to help them improve their grades. I would say my…

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 believe the most important thing for a tutor to do is to keep the student engaged. Often students in tutoring are behind in work because they lose focus in a classroom or simply find it boring. Being able to hone a student's attention to the work will dramatically improve their chances of success. I can often work with different learning styles,…

A tutor's primary aim is to instill confidence in the student. Students seek tutors for a variety of reasons. Maybe the student is struggling and needs someone to explain things more clearly. A wise and patient tutor will do that, and the student will feel more confident; that they can do it! Some students come to tutoring with no real problems,…

For me, the two things that aided me most when I was being tutored in highschool were practice questions given to me by tutors and when these tutors took their time to really deconstruct these concepts until I fully understood them. My biggest strength is patience. Sometimes it takes students a long time to begin to understand certain concepts and…

The first thing would be to establish a plan of goals and expectations and help the student identify their role in this plan. Once a tutor has an idea of the expectation of the parents/school/ students then only can progress take shape, and this might have many forms and variations as to how this is executed as the student grows or stalls. So,…

I believe forming a connection with the student and building a positive relationship with them that way they have a more positive look on being tutored. Most students dont enjoy the aspect of tutoring because it can be a chore for them, but by building a relationship during these sessions, you can make them look forward to being tutored more.…

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.
