Software Dev Tutor Willetton, WA
The most important part of tutoring is passion for sharing knowledge. This may mean going for unpaid overtime, figuring out different teaching methods in your own time, and being happy by simply making a difference in someone's life. I understand what it feels like to struggle in a subject, so I believe I can use that understanding to provide high…

Software Dev Tutor Waterford, WA
I think the most important thing a tutor can do to help a student is, first find out what they know and then build from there. A lot of the questions that stumped me wasn't because I couldn't find the solution but because I didnt know why the solution worked, and I just needed it rationalized for me. I think my biggest strength is that I also have…

I believe that it is important for a tutor to understand that each child is unique in their own way. They have different strengths and weaknesses and with that their own capacity of understanding. As tutors its our responsibility to analyze and best suit our teaching methods to meet each child's unique levels in order to ensure that the child has…

Always go back to the basics, as many students hold themselves to ask questions they think of as "irrelevant" or "common sense", when in reality it's those questions the one's building real knowledge and solid foundations. That's why as a tutor the most important thing I can do is go beyond what they ask me or what their classes teach, as some…

Most importantly, listen! A lot of students don't know where they are struggling but give it away with the questions they ask or the steps they take to try and solve problems. Have more than one method or way of explaining things. People have different learning styles and different past experience to attach new things onto. Being organised,…

I believe it would be to clearly identify where the student is lacking and how best to tackle that specific weakness. Then from there take it one step at a time till the student is comfortable enough to increase the pace. The key is to subtly increase the pace such that they wont notice or get overwhelmed. Given my education and occupation, I have…

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.
