Explaining concepts as thoroughly as possible as that's what I found to be useful for me, and trying different methods of conveying information until the student gets it. As a student I strive to understand the content provided as well beyond the scope required to fully cement concepts in my mind. I find that to have a much more pronounced impact…

I believe that the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to promote student's interest in learning the subject. Students who are passionate about learning usually receive higher grades, and feel more freedom when entering university degree. Therefore, it is essential for students to become independent life-long learners, think…

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…

Tutor-student connection. If the pair don't maintain an almost friends connection it is hard to influence the students learning for the better.

For me, the most important thing a tutor can do for his student, is to make the latter find himself. This means that the tutor should first teach him how to learn, make him find ways/conditions in which he thrives the most. I believe that if the student manages to unlock that skill, irrespective of the subject, the sky is the limit for the…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is focus on that student, listen to what they want and then create a personalised lesson just for them. The major difference between a class and a tutor is how the tutor is able to focus on the one student, and maximising this chance and truly listening to the student and helping them…

The most important thing a tutor can do for their student is break down this unclimbable mountain of a problem into a simple hill.

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.
