I think forming a personal connection to learn how a student best learns- whether this be visually, through 'doing', or watching and recreating. I am very patient and approachable, and I get personally involved, wanting my student to achieve their…

Tutor Winthrop, WA
I think it is extremely important for a tutor to approachable for a student. This means that the tutor exerts a relative level of authority but the student also feels like they are in a safe, nurturing learning environment. 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…

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…

I help students develop healthy study habits to prepare them for further studies.

Tutor Parkwood, WA
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 thing a tutor can do for a student is to instil in them the confidence that they will succeed. Ensuring that students have a positive and resilient mindset to learning will allow for students to continue growing and improving in the face of their struggles and difficulties. Other important things a tutor can do for a student is…

Secondly time managment, delivery method, discussion between students and parents, questionnaires to understand their views and observation, proper strategies and course plans are the other important things that every tutor should understand.

Understand their individual circumstances. Some students seek tutoring in order to excel, whilst others may need assistance in a subject they are struggling to pass. I believe a tutor needs to know their students well enough to understand their personal goals, their preferred methods of learning (eg. some students may require diagrams to visualise…

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.
