Science Tutor Ashby, WA
The most important things a tutor can do for a student is be patient and listen to what they aren't understanding. Also to be able to identify that is a student isn't understanding a concept then the tutor needs to be able to recognise this and try to explain it to them in a different way. I think my strengths as a tutor are that I am a very…

Students are different from each other, some are fast learner while others are the opposite. As a tutor, I think its important to deliver a lesson that is easy to comprehend regardless of how academic the students are. I am more to lean to visual than texts. Since one of my hobbies is drawing, I would use this skill to deliver visual aid to…

A teacher can do the most if they can interpret they could enrich knowledge of their students with their way of teaching and most importantly build a strong knowledge of good practices and bad practices in terms of studies. I can change my way of teaching according to the student's personality and preference. Let us suppose there might be…

I believe encouragement is the most important thing a tutor can do. By focusing on what they have achieved rather then what they haven't, the children can gain a sense of self worth and achievement, making them more likely to want to learn more. By always being there to support them through difficult content, a tutor can develop trust with the…

A tutor should firstly be encouraging; to be more confident in their studies, for them to work hard and try their best, and to inspire a love of learning. Secondly, it is imperative to be understanding. Every student is unique, with varying goals, learning styles, and abilities, so learning should be tailored to each individual to ensure every…

Encouragement is the most important quality a tutor should have.

Listening and being patient. Just because something makes sense to you doesn't mean it is easy for the student.

Students spend a major part of a day in school. Many children are unable to get the most of it due to time-constraints and lack of individual attention in a class. However, there are a few students who maintain attention and focus in a classroom environment. Reason is they are more prepared than the rest. If a child follows what is happening in…

Local Reviews

We are very happy with Vivian. My daughter likes her a lot.

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.
