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…

A tutor should make learning clear and achievable. They do this by spotting gaps, explaining concepts in simple terms, and providing structured practice that builds skills gradually. It’s important to focus on building confidence and study habits, not just solving one question. This helps the student become more independent. Finally, a tutor…

First of all, to actually see them as an individual, not as a job, task or challenge. In terms of learning it's important to let the students figure it out themselves, kinda nudge them in the right direction, but just handing them the answer or the formula will probably hurt them in the long run. I have dealt with all kinds of kids and youth, so…

Tutor Sawyers Valley, WA
I think it is important for a tutor to act as a guide for a students learning, supporting them to develop tools and skills that work best for them and can be replicated in the classroom. Throughout my own school experience, I often had to approach tasks in different ways to what was standard or expected. I believe this reflects in my strengths as…

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.
