As a tutor, improving student's grade is definitely one of it. But I do focus on their understanding on the concept and how does everything works, and believe student knowing the concept would score better grade. Obviously, its still depend what the parents' aim for their child. Otherwise, the best I can do is to help them understand and clear…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to listen and understand the student's learning style and being able to adapt accordingly. Students often learn at a different pace from each other and a tutor should understand when to slow down, when to speed up, or when to adjust the teaching style to suit the student's learning…

A tutor should give attention to her student as most of them work more if you recognize and praise them on their achievement. The simple things like greeting and smile are as important to light up their day. A tutor should be able to boost the confidence level of the students and make it easier for students to understand. My strengths include my…

I feel making the student feel comfortable around you, is the most important, if a student feels comfortable then he will not be afraid to communicate when he doesn't understand a concept.

I think that the best thing to do when tutoring is allow the students free rein when answering questions, as I have often found that almost all of their learning comes from when they make mistakes. I tend to try to give them only small nudges when getting them to complete a question, and reduce the amount of my interference over preceding…

The most important part of being a tutor is to provide support. I gain trust with my students by showing them that I am there to support them fully.

Listening is the most important thing a tutor can do for the student. Tutors cannot understand a student's requirements and expectations until they effectively give time to the student for communicating the same. However, listening alone does not suffice. A tutor must act on these requirements and prepare custom learning plans. Being someone who…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student are building confidence and encouraging independence in learning. For example, if a student struggles with algebra, rather than just providing the answers, a good tutor helps break down the problem into smaller, understandable steps, guiding the student through the process.

Local Reviews

During the first phone call, I felt the staff member was quite rushed. I had a lot to explain and felt I didn't get to finish. His final decision was no, the company probably couldn't help me but I persisted. Then it worked out in the end and I got a tutor. The tutor has attended once and I'm happy with him.

Inside ShelleyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Aryan practised dividing fractions and calculating percentages, focusing on applying these skills to piecewise defined relationships.

In Year 10, Ethan worked through factoring and expanding quadratic expressions as well as a brief introduction to compound interest using step-by-step examples.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Grace revised matrix multiplication and explored the normal distribution in statistics, also touching on key finance topics relevant to her coursework.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student struggled with factorising quadratics in a test and, as noted, "ran out of time"—test anxiety led to second-guessing answers and slow progress.

In Year 10 maths, skipping clear layout on simultaneous equations meant errors weren't spotted until feedback was given; the tutor wrote, "laying out answers properly and clearly" was still an issue.

In primary maths, one child hesitated to ask for help when stuck multiplying large numbers—missing chances to clarify confusion early.

For a senior student using the CAS Classpad, over-reliance on calculator steps made it harder to remember key finance formulas without prompts during practice.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Shelley noticed one Year 10 student, who previously hesitated to check her own work, now confidently uses the "talking aloud" technique and backchecks her answers on quadratic expansions—meaning she trusts her instincts but also double-checks without wasting time.

Another high schooler has shifted from struggling with linear equations to independently substituting values and successfully graphing lines, even explaining how slope direction changes with gradient sign.

In a younger session, a primary student who rarely participated began asking more questions when uncertain and started showing all working steps for each maths problem before moving on.

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 Riverton Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Shelley Primary School.
