Always go back to the basics, as many students hold themselves to ask questions they think of as "irrelevant" or "common sense", when in reality it's those questions the one's building real knowledge and solid foundations. That's why as a tutor the most important thing I can do is go beyond what they ask me or what their classes teach, as some…

I strongly believe that two things are the most important in a tutor: perspective and engagement. Perspective due to how different minds work at understanding, and how no approach fits all students. Engagement to engage their problem solving skills, to ensure that the key is understanding and refrain from relying on memory. As I find the…

Firstly a tutor must be able to provide clear and concise explanations of concepts and have a solid understanding of the subject matter. Secondly, tutors need to be able to use a personalized approach of teaching for different students to better help match and pace the student's learning style, speed, strengths and weaknesses e.g. Effective…

Most importantly, listen! A lot of students don't know where they are struggling but give it away with the questions they ask or the steps they take to try and solve problems. Have more than one method or way of explaining things. People have different learning styles and different past experience to attach new things onto. Being organised,…

At the crux of it all, the ultimate goal of tutoring is for the tutor to enable the student to have an easier time grappling with material that they would otherwise struggle with. Furthermore, each student will require a different approach in order for this goal to be achieved. As such, the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to pique their interest in the subject and let their curiosity take over, so they wish to learn more about it on their own and not think of learning as work. I communicate effectively and am very patient with the students. I believe in helping them achieve a solid foundation of…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do to help a student is, first find out what they know and then build from there. A lot of the questions that stumped me wasn't because I couldn't find the solution but because I didnt know why the solution worked, and I just needed it rationalized for me. I think my biggest strength is that I also have…

I believe that it is important for a tutor to understand that each child is unique in their own way. They have different strengths and weaknesses and with that their own capacity of understanding. As tutors its our responsibility to analyze and best suit our teaching methods to meet each child's unique levels in order to ensure that the child has…

A tutor should be able to teach a student how to learn. They shouldn't just coach students on what they are studying but also how they are studying - whether their mode of study is effective and efficient enough. So that in the end, the student is able to tackle any subject or obstacle they run into without a tutor. Being friendly and…

The most important thing would be to be able to encourage and motivate the student. The tutor should be able to help the students with any difficulty or problem that they may have. As such, the tutor should also ensure that there is effective commuication between him and his/her student so that the latter can ask any questions without hesitation.…

Inside South PerthTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Riley worked through place value to support multiplication, then practiced short division using worded problems for real-world context.

In Year 8, Hannah focused on mean, median, mode, and range calculations along with large addition and subtraction tasks from the Year 8 syllabus.

For Year 9, Jay tackled trigonometry concepts including SOHCAHTOA as well as working with gradients and y-intercepts by linking tables to graphs during algebraic exercises.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 English, "written expression" stood out as a recurring challenge—one student's ideas were strong when spoken but "just needed to write it down," especially in creative writing where grammar and holistic articulation held them back.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 Maths lesson revealed over-reliance on familiar problems: notes were used well for standard tasks, but applying them to unfamiliar calculator questions was avoided.

A Year 7 student working on fractions and percentages hesitated to trust their own working and often looked for patterns instead of understanding concepts. This sometimes left mistakes hidden until revision sessions.

Recent Achievements

One South Perth tutor recently noticed a big change in a Year 10 student who had struggled to link fractions, decimals, and percentages—after several sessions, she could explain their interconnections on her own and used new strategies without prompting.

In Year 12, John moved from being hesitant about statistics to independently solving mode, median, range, and mean problems; he now asks for clarification rather than leaving answers blank.

Meanwhile, Riley in Year 5 went from guessing short division answers to working through problems fluently with just occasional place value hints. Last week he finished his worksheet without errors.

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 South Perth Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Wesley College.
