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 a tutor has to be flexible enough to change his or her teaching methods to cater for each student's personal condition. I also think that it is important for a tutor to be able to give student-life repeated advice that helps older students achieve the ideal study-work-life balance. I took the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program,…

Communication between student and teacher is the key. If there is a gap between them the teaching learning system can never go ahead as smoothly as it should have to be.

It's important to provide your student with an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the subject and to ensure that they are confident and well-prepared to answer the more difficult questions that may present themselves in an exam or test. However, it's equally as important to understand that all students are different in how they learn best and…

Take the time to ensure the student understands the concept and what the expectation is before moving on to the next topic. This is because I believe it makes it easier to remember and apply the infomation later on and it makes learning a bit more interested as you can appreciate and comprehend what you are learning. My first priority is the…

Teaching, encouraging, motivating and inspiring students are the most important things that a tutor can do. Teaching is the most basic yet one of the most important duties for a tutor. Moreover, a tutor needs to continuously encourage and motivate students during lessons, so they may spark their interest in a particular subject or area of study in…

Offer advice from personal experience. Tutors who have been through the same schooling system can guide students in the best way to approach material, and how best to prepare for assessment. Also, tutors can provide students with alternative approaches to difficult material other than what is given by the student's regular schoolteacher. I have a…

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 suppose that the most important things a tutor can do for their student would be primarily to be supportive of their work, and to push and encourage them to perform at a level higher than their current in the subject, but not in a manner that is harsh and liable to discourage them from pursuing the subject with any manner of vehemence.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is ensuring they understand the content and are able to apply that to problems (more relevant in maths).

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.
