Going beyond and above to becoming not just a great teacher but to make my students a great learner. First, a tutor should create a safe and encouraging space where the student feels comfortable to ask questions, make mistakes, and explore ideas without fear of judgment. Second, it’s about helping the student build genuine understanding rather…

The most important things is to find their strengths and weaknesses so that they can improve faster and be more confident in their studies. It is also important to create a strong bond with your student so that they can trust and respect you - which often leads to a more driven and focused student (based on my experience in high school). I believe…

As someone who has had tutors in the past; I can say with confidence that a tutor allows the student to catch up on what they didn’t understand in school the first time. Some topics are just harder than others.Unfortunately, most schools won’t slow down for each individual student just because they’re having a hard time. A tutor can enable a…

I believe a tutor's role is to guide, facilitate and provide feedback on the student's own work. It is essential that the student independently develops the skills necessary to become competent. A tutor's role in this process is to encourage the student to explore their own knowledge, and provide tips to consolidate their understanding, and make…

I think patience and empathy are the most important skills for a tutor. If people are willing to clearly express themselves in a safe environment then they are more receptive to corrections in an unconfrontational manner and are more willing to express issues they themselves are having. I think I'm very good at understanding how people think,…

I think a tutor has to cater their teaching methods according to particular students. For example, if you find that the student best learns by a tactile approach, I would recommend using more activities that help them learn rather than just working through questions on a piece of paper. I think this can make a big difference in the student's…

The most important thing is ultimately the students grades. However, if the student is willing to consider the larger implications of their work and their role in it, I would consider that as of equal importance. Students must recognise themselves in their work if they are to fully engage. I'm understanding and take the time to understand students…

A successful tutuor does more than merely help a student to raise their grade. In my opinion, a tutor should make an impression on a student.

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.
