Tutor Willetton, WA
In my opinion, a tutor has to be able to communicate effectively with a student. There is a clear difference between having knowledge and actually being able to teach a particular field of study. It is absolutely vital that a tutor speaks to a student in a way that is easily understood by the student but at the same time also engaging. This way of…

A tutor can spend time with students so that they can understand what the problem is. Moreover, a tutor is a person with whom every student feels safe, and they share everything, so the tutor must be calm and teach everything in a fun way. My strengths as a tutor are that I am a well-organized individual, and I develop my own ways of teaching for…

To boost confidence and motivation. I believe that you cannot force a student to learn, but you can guide them to do their best. If the student does not wish to learn, there is not much I can do to improve their grades. But, if the students are highly motivated and willing to learn, even if their grades are below average, they can rapidly improve…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to be someone there to listen to them, someone there to guide them through their academic problems (not just the academics but the mindset as well) and someone who they feel is having a positive impact on their learning experience. Throughout high school, I would help many of my colleagues…

I think it is extremely important for a tutor to approachable for a student.

A tutor's job is to awaken the student's hunger for learning to allow them to reach their full potential. I also feel that a…

I believe that patience is very important when it comes to tutoring. This is important because it allows for the student to remain comfortable and ask questions without being worried that they are being judged. Since asking questions is a key aspect of the learning process, impatience would simply limit the students ability to learn. I am able to…

The most important thing as a tutor is to guide the students think positively.

The encouragement from my maths teacher motivated me to have faith on myself that I…

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.
