According to me, a tutor should be a good listener. Students are from different backgrounds and different cultures. As a tutor, it is necessary to bring all students under one umbrella and give proper guidance. Students are learners. I always provide enough time for them to try and I always make them give it a go. This enables the students'…

Tutors have two roles, One is to actively support the student who might be struggling to cope up with their peers and/or looking to improve their performance. The second is to make the student learn in a different environment from their school. Schools have multiple children and every child has some issue they are facing. As a tutor sitting 1-1…

Hence, to be able to…

Finding the right method to educate a student. The way you present your working and explanation should always suit the students learning style.

I think the most important things a tutor should do for a student is to encourage the student to do better rather than to aim for perfect grades. Every improvement, regardless of the extent, is an improvement and it should be appreciated. A tutor should also prepare for the lessons before hand and have a lesson goal/outline to keep on track.

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.
