Here are a few things which I believe to be important: - A tutor should help students build a robust mental framework that allows students to pick up new and complex ideas, even when a tutor is not around to help them. - Instil the desire to learn in a self-driven capacity. - Be reliable and understanding; a tutor should be an individual a…

Teach the morals of studies and how they are helpful for the future and how to learn things in the best way and not take pressure in learning things so that they don't take exams hard and write it with happiness.

Firstly a tutor must be able to provide clear and concise explanations of concepts and have a solid understanding of the subject matter. Secondly, tutors need to be able to use a personalized approach of teaching for different students to better help match and pace the student's learning style, speed, strengths and weaknesses e.g. Effective…

I consider the best thing a tutor can do for a student is to teach the student to understand the concept themself and thus making them much more self-reliant. The tutor can help the student understand not only the concepts but also why its significant and their practical application so that they have a sense of why they are learning these. I can…

I strongly believe that two things are the most important in a tutor: perspective and engagement. Perspective due to how different minds work at understanding, and how no approach fits all students. Engagement to engage their problem solving skills, to ensure that the key is understanding and refrain from relying on memory. As I find the…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to pique their interest in the subject and let their curiosity take over, so they wish to learn more about it on their own and not think of learning as work. I communicate effectively and am very patient with the students. I believe in helping them achieve a solid foundation of…

Make sure that the student is comfortable to express their exact approach and unknowns on a topic. The more time you can spend on the exact areas of struggle the greater the improvement. The ability to see knowledge from a deeper level and be able to present it from many angles. This has been appreciated by the students I tutored in high school.…

My teachers have been my second parents. Few of my school teachers are still in touch with me and we are like a family now. Throughout my education, I realised the importance of a good tutor.

Another very important thing is to help the student build confidence in their ability to learn. Encouragement, support, and consistent feedback is important. It’s also essential to…

I think the most important thing is to be simple - not confuse the child with an overwhelming amount of information but rather take things slowly and ask directed questions to take them to each step of the answer. I have always had an intense dedication to doing well at school but despite long hours of work put in, I didn't always get the best…

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.
