English Tutor West Perth, WA
I consider the ability to connect and inspire the students to be the most important thing. To me, it is important to bring up their interest and motivate them to strive and reach their fullest potential rather than just teaching them from the material. I am able to connect with my students to understand their goals and I genuinely care for them to…

I believe that one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student, is to help them build confidence in their own academic abilities by supporting them in a way that reinforces their sense of self achievement. It is also important for a tutor to reinforce and support the student's classroom learning, beyond set homework and assignments…

To be fully committed to helping a student achieve above and beyond their goals.

The most important thing that I tutor can do for a student is be understanding.

It is the tutor job not only to help the student academically but also mentally. There are many social pressures within a students school life…

Listen and teach. I think it is so important for students to be listened to and helped accordingly. They must be given the space to work through problems they are facing themselves so that they can believe in their own abilities and increase their own self-efficacy. It is vital that the student can not only regurgitate an answer or process but…

I would not want a single moment to pass for my students thinking that they lack in any way. A few hard problems to solve at school are not enough to discourage them. My greatest strength when it comes to tutoring is I…

Encouragement is the most important, but it must be coupled with good teaching. My strength would be the ability to convey the information in a form that younger students would be most likely to comprehend.

I am very good at picking up on what…

Sleesha is always well prepared and punctual, she has helped my year 9 student a lot with getting a better understanding of the subject matter. We're very happy with her.
Kerstin Kugler

Inside HerdsmanTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Ava worked on multiplying and dividing fractions, along with strategies for solving worded problems involving measurement.

In Year 8, Ethan focused on simplifying algebraic expressions and expanded brackets using step-by-step written methods.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Lily explored trigonometry basics and practiced applying sine and cosine rules to solve right-angled triangle questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student's algebra progress was slowed by inconsistent homework completion—"failed to complete all homework questions," one note recorded.

In Year 10, careless handling of negative signs in calculations led to repeated errors; as observed, "details, careless mistakes" meant that time was spent fixing issues rather than moving forward with new concepts.

For a Year 7 student working on linear graphs, unclear written work and skipping question details made extracting the required information difficult, which disrupted understanding.

Meanwhile, in upper primary maths, forgotten multiplication tables left one student hunting for answers instead of building fluency.

Recent Achievements

One Herdsman tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to skip steps now carefully reads each question before starting calculations, leading to fewer careless mistakes in statistics problems.

In Year 8, another student has started bringing completed homework every session and recently tackled balancing equations without prompting—she'd previously needed reminders just to start.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who struggled with her 8 and 9 times tables last term can now recall them quickly and managed all the related questions without any hesitation during the lesson.

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 Cambridge Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Chrysalis Montessori School.
