Physics Tutor Glen Forrest, WA
An encouraging learning environment. I always have and I will continue to uphold this key ingredient in a good teaching environment, by listening, never criticising and only offering constructive advice the student will take pride in their studies and always feel welcome to ask questions. It's the most important factor in developing a good…

Show them the way without giving the answer. I feel the downfall of most tutors is giving answers and not letting the students make mistakes so that they can learn from them. Tutors should be almost like your best friend rather than your teacher and should be working with you, not telling you. I'm approachable, professional, and have an excellent…

Physics Tutor Jane Brook, WA
I think the most important thing a physics tutor can do for a student would be to find a way to engage them and encourage them to succeed in their studies. To help them actually see that they're getting better, and keep them motivated to continue working the best they can. I am a patient person with a relaxed demeanour. I can understand that each…

Physics Tutor Kalamunda, WA
For me, the most important thing a physics tutor can provide a student is confidence. It is paramount that a tutor encourages the student to become intrinsically motivated to study and to cultivate a love for the subject, as this will allow the student to fully achieve their potential. Ensuring that a student has confidence and self belief can be…

Physics Tutor Greenmount, WA
Be genuine; be genuine about knowing the information, be geuine about wanting to help and being genuinely concerned for their education. I am really good at explaining things to students, in lots of different ways if they dont understand. My weakness would be that i am really friendly, and if the student just wants to sit and talk i would have a…

Physics Tutor Midland, WA
A tutor should: 1. Break complex concepts into simple, logical and manageable steps, making learning easier and more enjoyable. 2. Being friendly, open and understanding. Without this, students may not feel comfortable effectively learning and asking questions. 3. Providing structured practice with tailored feedback. One of the best ways…

Physics Tutor Midland, WA
Tutors should be able to work well with different types of students, as well as know enough maths to explain things in great depth. Tutors need to be patient and helpful, and be able to communicate with children's parents as well. I have experience tutoring for more than five years, which has helped me gain confidence in working with children on…

Inside Glen ForrestTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Sophia focused on probability as fractions, decimals, and percents, and also worked with the probability line to visually represent likelihood.

For Year 7, Max tackled simplifying algebraic expressions involving polynomials and practiced applying the distributive property to factorise terms.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Ava concentrated on rounding decimals to one or two decimal places as well as whole numbers, using real-world examples for extra clarity.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student did not complete any set probability homework and, as one tutor observed, "she wasn't cooperative and didn't want to involve herself in the lesson, even though she has a test the next day." This lack of engagement meant missed opportunities for exam practice.

In Year 7 algebra, forgetting to bring a calculator and textbook led to delays starting equations tasks.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student repeatedly left her story plan unwritten for homework; when asked about it, she became distracted by laptop use instead. The absence of written practice directly impacted her ability to draft introductions independently during lessons.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Glen Forrest recently noticed a big change with one Year 10 student who, after weeks of hesitation, now openly asks for clarification on algebraic expressions instead of quietly guessing—making it much easier to tackle new material together.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student who previously struggled to keep up with negative numbers was able to independently solve mixed problems using a number line, showing real initiative by checking her own work.

On the primary side, a Year 4 learner completed all their math tasks without reminders and even explained how to find the mean in her own words.

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 Boya Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Glen Forrest Primary School.
