Chemistry Tutor Fremantle, WA
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to show that they believe in them and their ability to succeed academically and overall. I tell my students on a regular basis "I believe in you!" and "You can do this!" I find that creating this positive and encouraging learning environment is integral. My strengths as a tutor begins with…

I believe providing an environment in which the student is confident and motivated about what they are learning will help them achieve goals. Realistically you spend 1-2 hours a week with a student and cannot realistically teach them all the content they learn in those allocated times so need to motivate and provide confidence in the student so…

I believe understanding the calibre of the student and providing constant motivation is something a tutor must importantly do for a student because quite often the individuality of a student gets lost in class and so the tutor needs to grab onto that individuality of the student so that they can not just progress ahead academically but also stand…

Teaching students HOW to learn and effective methods for learning, instead of just showing students the course material which they have likely already seen in class. Of course, refreshing core concepts is key to building a strong foundation, but tutors should aim to extend their students, to go further than what is required. Also, they should have…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is focus on that student, listen to what they want and then create a personalised lesson just for them.

I believe the most important duty of a tutor is to get his tutee accomplish his/her goal like passing an exam or getting better at the tutored subject.

Karmel is fantastic. My daughter has responded really well in only the first few weeks. He is very patient and explains things at a level that she can understand. Her teacher has also noticed an improvement. She also likes him and doesn't protest when it comes to extra maths after school!

Inside O'ConnorTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Jimmy worked on rounding numbers using number lines and practiced long division with multi-digit numbers, reinforcing understanding through worksheets and visual aids.

Year 9 student Abbi focused on solving quadratic equations using the quadratic formula and tackled challenging problems involving surds and fractional indices.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Isabel revised trigonometry concepts, including perpendicular and parallel lines, and strengthened her grasp of simultaneous equations by completing exam-style practice questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 5 English, one student highlighted almost every word in a comprehension passage, making it hard to focus on key information—"he took considerable time to read because he highlighted almost every word."

In Year 7–8 Maths, repeated reminders were needed for one student to write down full working for multiplication and not just the answer; feedback on this was often overlooked.

A Year 10 student didn't review notes before lessons, which meant valuable lesson time was spent repeating prior material rather than progressing.

Meanwhile, a senior student struggled with organizing files and notes efficiently, slowing revision for tests.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in O'Connor noticed that Jimmy, who previously found rounding quite confusing, managed to complete a worksheet on his own this week and now applies the concept independently—just last session he needed step-by-step guidance.

In Year 10, Isabel made a significant leap in her recent maths exam, moving from 60% to 81%, especially impressing with her ability to tackle complex worded problems after initially struggling with them.

Abbi, working on quadratic equations in high school, went from needing frequent reminders to now solving standard quadratics quickly and without any help.

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 Willagee Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Caralee Community School.
