I believe that a tutor should be prepared for the session and knows the students needs. Because students abilities are different, so the tutor should know his students very well. Clarifying the problem and then develop the critical thinking ability in the students. Moreover, the progress of students should be monitored carefully. I am a very…

I suppose that the most important things a tutor can do for their student would be primarily to be supportive of their work, and to push and encourage them to perform at a level higher than their current in the subject, but not in a manner that is harsh and liable to discourage them from pursuing the subject with any manner of vehemence. An…

I feel that the most important things a tutor can do for a student, especially a student in high school is to reduce stress. Math tests and exams often, if not always stress students, however tutors I feel can reduce this stress by helping the student with questions and concepts, thus boosting their confidence and reducing their stress to allow…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to understand the student's way of learning from a very broad perspective and try to impart knowledge in a way that they can throughly comprehend and apply. The tutor should also try to cover all components of the course and assist them in working through the areas in which the student is…

I believe that a tutor can provide valuable help and support for their student. Since they have already done the coursework, they are able to assist their student with the same work. Furthermore, since they have personally been through the experiences similar to that of their student, tutors are able to understand the difficulties experienced by…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is help them achieve their full potentials. This can include getting good test results, gaining confidence in what they can achieve, a change in attitude to math etc. They can act as a positive role model for students by encouraging them to take the initiative to improve in their…

A tutor has to be able to accomodate to each students need individually. It's important to understand the needs and habits of each student as each person learns uniquely. This, in turn, provides them with the best possible learning experience which maximises potential and results. - Good Communicator - Vast Knowledge of subjects - Can make…

Patience. Learning new skills in maths can sometimes be quite tricky and confusing so I think adequate time should be spent learning the basics as this is very important later down the track. Organisation, as a tutor I feel organisation from both the student and the teacher is important so the most amount of learning can…

Putting in the effort to understand their needs and revising the topics they need help with even before their lessons. Making the most of the time the student has with a tutor is essential for the student's learning process.

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.
