A good tutor can instill confidence, curiosity and independence in their student, so that they will want to learn and improve even when studying on their own. A good tutor also provides the necessary resources for their student, so that they are able to work on their weaknesses in their own time. A good tutor helps to improve on the student's…

Building students’ confidence and encouraging their own way of thinking are very important to me. When students feel confident and respected, they are more willing to express ideas, ask questions, and learn effectively. Making students understand concepts according to the way they think is one of my key strengths. I adapt my explanations to…

Teach them skills to master the subject. Teach them life lessons as well - eg resilience. Teach them different ways to look at things. Be a friend/listening ear when they need. Patient and caring. I believe that caring about my student's overall wellbeing is just as important as their grades. Resilience, not all methods of teaching will work…

The most important thing a tutor can do is be patient and understanding. Forcing an expectation can create insecurity, which can further decrease a students confidence, and hence academic ability.

It depends a little bit on age but the older they get the more important confidence is going to be and giving the students confidence is the most important job. I'm not going to teach a 12 year old a lot more, they have spent years in school and they have all the knowledge they need. The important job of tutor is to make them believe that they…

Along with the subject matter, we can motivate our students and generate interest in our field. A tutor can point out the mistakes made by student and can correct them.

The most important thing a student can do is not the content they teach but the transferable skills and fundamental knowledge a student requires to succeed on their own. I believe that a significant portion of students do not do well because they lack the fundamentals or do not have the right study techniques to learn at their best. As a tutor, it…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to teach a student how to pursue their own studies, that is, if I can teach a student how to study without the need for a tutor, that's worth more than tutoring them the whole year and it will serve them well for the rest of their life. An excellent tutor will keep their students motivated and…

I think tutor should do everything for his or her students because after the parents only teacher is one person who can very closed for the student. Tutor should look after their students and if they have any bad habit then it's tutor responsibility to guide them in right direction and also inform their parents. Tutor can make hard subject into…

I can make the student not only competent, but also comfortable and confident in a certain topic. I understand how stressful hard subjects can be. I want to take away the feeling of fear when students enter a class they think they're not good in. Another thing is teaching a student to be an autodidact. I was fortunate enough to know this tactic…

Inside HighgateTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Endri focused on algebraic simultaneous equations and prime factorisation, also building understanding of mathematical functions through worked examples.

In Year 10, Alex practised right-angled trigonometry and projectile motion concepts, using diagrams to connect theory with real-world scenarios.

For a senior student in Year 12, sessions covered the principles of redox reactions and chemical equilibria, tackling past exam papers for applied practice.

Recent Challenges

A Year 7 student struggled with basic mathematical manipulations; as a tutor put it, "a reality check to realise what is needed to do better in math is required," as inconsistent foundational skills left them unprepared for exams.

In Year 10 Physics, difficulty visualising perpendicular distances and distinguishing between rotational and translational equilibrium led to confusion during problem-solving—skipped steps often masked misunderstandings.

For a senior student (Year 12), not carefully reading exam questions resulted in missed marks; "carelessness shoots through the roof when tired," one note observed.

The immediate result: lost confidence after setbacks, especially when feedback wasn't fully addressed before moving on.

Recent Achievements

A Highgate tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student who used to stay quiet during lessons now regularly asks for clarification when confused, instead of guessing and moving on.

In a recent session with a Year 9 student, the tutor observed that she's started taking structured notes without prompting—something she'd previously avoided—which is helping her organise her thoughts more clearly in class.

Meanwhile, a younger student in Year 4 has begun tackling word problems independently after initially relying heavily on hints; last week, he completed an entire worksheet on his own for the first time.

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 City of Perth Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Highgate Primary School.
