A tutor has to want the student to succeed in what they're learning. It's important to know specifically where the student is struggling in order to help them. It would be remiss not to mention that there is a positive impact on the students' performance in school as well. If I explain something and the student doesn't understand, I'll find…

I believe to explain a concept that the student can understand is paramount in the role of a tutor. For this to be done the student needs to comprehend the simple skills that leads up to the final difficult concept. If a tutor is able to explain this complex concept by explaining the simple skills and breaking down the concept in a simpler method,…

To me, the single most important thing a tutor can do is to be reliable. Showing up on time, ready to teach, ready to answer questions. With a consistent tone and method that allows the student to become comfortable. This in turn fosters an environment that better suits a students ability to both learn, and engage with the subject. Another…

I consider an improvement in confidence incredibly significant to a child's attitude to learning. If a student is confident in their abilities to learn a subject, then they will be more likely to put effort into correcting their mistakes. This confidence and ability to recognise improvement will directly and positively affect the student's self…

Build a relationship to have learning be authentic, individual and enjoyable. Have them learn something they could not do, consolidate and master the subject.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is develop problem solving skills and to help them to make connections in their own mind, leading to greater retention in the long term. A tutor’s end goal shouldn’t be to teach a student how to work out a specific problem, it should be to get the student to a point where they can tackle…

I think there are two things a tutor can do for a student. 1. Give a confidence in the subject and it will improve his/her confidence as a whole. 2. Make them comfortable by knowing there is someone who can teach questions. I can make a child sitting with me concentrate on math for a while. And I can explain from the very basic where they stuck…

One of the best qualities of a tutor is to create a personal connection to your student.

Ensuring they understand in their own way and being able to recognise when the student does not understand. If the tutor can recognise when the student does not understand, instead of moving on and the student now has a gap in their fundamental knowledge, the tutor can attempt to convey the knowledge in a style more suited to the student.

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to guide the student in a practical way rather than sticking to the theory. Furthermore, it is also important that a tutor acknowledges that the level of grasping capability of a student when it comes to the knowledge in Math is different from another student. And it is important…

The most crucial thing a tutor can do for a student, in my opinion, is to foster an atmosphere in which they feel free to ask for assistance without the fear of judgement. Being patient and analytical are two of my talents as a tutor. This qualifies as a skill since it will put the children I will be tutoring at ease, making them more comfortable…

First is to make sure they understand the theoretical underpinnings of a concept and able to apply it on different question/situations etc. Second is to impart and inspire the rationale behind why they need to understand whatever it is that they are studying.

Inside Ocean ReefTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 12 student Ella worked on understanding binomial and Bernoulli distributions, along with differentiating trigonometric functions using practice questions.

In Year 11, Josh focused on normal distribution problems and interpreting sample proportions and confidence intervals from real data sets.

Meanwhile, Year 7 student Sophie strengthened her skills with converting fractions to percentages and practiced adding fractions using visual aids for clarity.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student struggled to translate word problems into equations, often confusing "multiplying by two" with "squaring"—as a tutor noted, "he wrote 2x instead of x²."

In Year 10 algebra, copying working from previous examples led to confusion when faced with unfamiliar questions; this habit blocked real understanding.

A senior student in statistics needed repeated prompting to use formulas for confidence intervals, hesitating without clear steps and missing the link between terms and methods.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner relied on times tables charts for basic multiplication, which slowed progress on multi-step problems and chipped away at her confidence mid-task.

Recent Achievements

One Ocean Reef tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to hesitate with tricky probability problems now confidently chooses between Binomial and Discrete Random Variables, showing real independence.

A Year 11 student who struggled to see mistakes in her maths test recently reviewed her answers, understood where she went wrong, and fixed them herself without prompting.

At the primary level, one younger learner has shifted from guessing at decimal placement to consistently lining up numbers correctly—she now pauses and checks before answering, rather than rushing through. Last session, she placed every decimal accurately on her own.

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 Joondalup Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Simon Peter Catholic Primary School.
