I consider the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to make them believe in themselves, bring them confidence, and to equip them with the necessary tools to do better/their best in their studies. I believe my strengths as a tutor are: My positivity. I always encourage students to keep learning even when things get hard. I let…

Primarily to increase the students grades in the given subject. However doing so by helping them become better learners themeselves rather than 'spoonfeeding' information. As this will help them for all other subjects and throughout life. I believe I am a great communicator, especially when getting ideas across. I have a great passion for…

I think being able to communicate effectively is very important for a tutor.He/she should be able to put himself in the student's shoes. And accordingly elucidate concepts. Every student has his own strengths and weakness in a subject. The tutor should be able to identify these. Apart from this, a tutor should have very strong basics.Only if…

To help the student "translate" the words of a question into something that they understand. Instead of showing them the answer, to teach them how to solve this kind of problem.

I believe providing an environment in which the student is confident and motivated about what they are learning will help them achieve goals.

Teaching students HOW to learn and effective methods for learning, instead of just showing students the course material which they have likely already seen in class. Of course, refreshing core concepts is key to building a strong foundation, but tutors should aim to extend their students, to go further than what is required. Also, they should have…

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…

Inside SwanbourneTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Alice focused on exponential functions and polynomial expansion, working through graphing exercises and algebraic manipulation.

In Year 10, Ben tackled the circle theorem with real-world diagrams and practised dividing polynomials by linear factors.

Meanwhile, Year 4 student Emily consolidated her understanding of long division alongside calculating perimeter and area for simple shapes, using hands-on examples to reinforce key steps.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student sometimes rushed into solving equations without first writing down all variables, as one tutor observed: "It is always best practice to slow down and write down all your variables prior to starting any working out." This led to confusion with interpreting multi-step algebra questions.

In Year 11, after a recent test and holiday, motivation noticeably dropped—distraction made it hard to push through new content in trigonometry.

A primary student occasionally misread larger numbers in worded problems, leading to extra time spent clarifying the task rather than progressing with calculations.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Swanbourne recently saw Reeve, a Year 5 student, begin to tackle complex maths worksheets with hardly any help—just months ago he hesitated and needed constant guidance, but now he independently uses strategies like pen-to-paper working and back checking.

In high school, Hunter has started slowing down to read tricky finance questions more carefully during ATAR prep, after previously rushing and missing key details; this shift has already improved his test accuracy.

Another older student who used to forget calculator steps under pressure is now taking written "operations manuals" into assessments, leading to far fewer avoidable mistakes.

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 Claremont Community Hub & Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Scotch College.
