A tutor needs to teach a student, obviously. But more importantly, a tutor needs to empower a student. To make them break through barriers they wouldn’t have thought were possible, to achieve their potential, plus a little more. Tutors should also be more personalised, not so just a second teacher. Tutors should recognise why this specific…

English Tutor Alexander Heights, WA
The most important thing is to create a environment in which the student is not afraid to ask questions and in which every question is considered important. A tutor has to respect that everyone learns differently and has to be prepared to re-explain things a few times, maybe in different ways for the student. I am a good listener, I believe I…

First of all, empathy so student never feels uncomfortable about not knowing a topic. Secondly, the ability to listen is as important as explaining things, so I'll be able to understand their point of view on a specific problem/subject. And, of course, the knowledge the tutor provides will be a main achievement and a perfect indicator of progress.…

Let the students understand where they have gone wrong and, instead of telling them the answer right away, letting the student work it out for themselves with some guidance from the tutor if necessary.

Inside PadburyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Daniel practised solving quadratic equations and expanding brackets using the FOIL method, as well as collecting like terms for simplification.

In Year 10, Chloe worked through factorising quadratic expressions and examined relationships between parallel and perpendicular lines in linear equations, including drawing connections to their slopes.

For a Year 6 session, Leo received guidance on his HASS report about the importance of coastal environments, focusing on structuring ideas clearly within his assignment.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8, a student left homework (indices and tree diagrams) at school and struggled with calculator instructions for algebraic solutions; this meant valuable lesson time was spent troubleshooting rather than practicing.

For a Year 10 student, "work in notebook not showing steps so of no use when reviewing," leading to confusion during revision for factorisation.

A senior student's sparse class notes and missed homework sheets made it difficult to prepare for upcoming tests.

In English (Year 7), another student's arguments lacked cohesion due to rushing written responses without outlining ideas first—impacting essay clarity under timed conditions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Padbury noticed Danielle, a Year 10 student, has begun finishing her maths practice tests much faster than before and now gets a higher percentage of questions correct—just last session, she completed the test on time with only minor errors.

Meanwhile, Holly (Year 8) had previously struggled with supplementary angles but was visibly more decisive this week, working through those problems after just a little prompting.

In Year 3, Sam surprised his tutor by tackling new maths content independently rather than waiting for help and even volunteered to try extra challenge questions at the end of their session.

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 Whitford Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like South Padbury Primary School.
