Most important thing would be to know what the goal of the student is and help them and support them in achieving their goal in a friendly environment. A tutor should be able to offer many different explanations so that the student has a better chance of understanding a particular concept. Most important is to make the student feel at ease and be…

Students are different from each other, some are fast learner while others are the opposite. As a tutor, I think its important to deliver a lesson that is easy to comprehend regardless of how academic the students are. I am more to lean to visual than texts. Since one of my hobbies is drawing, I would use this skill to deliver visual aid to…

The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to help them see the subject in the light that they do and nurture their interest in it. Failure in getting the concepts also leads to fear and that's where a tutor has to support the student , to prevent them from losing confidence in themselves. My biggest strength as a tutor is my…

I think the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to make learning fun so they don't feel pressured into doing work but if it's fun they are going to enjoy it more. Even little things such as brain breaks are going to benefit the child so they can give their brain a break before diving back into it. I want to make sure that all…

A tutor should push the student as much as they possibly can. Not answer the questions for them, continue making sure the student understands throughout a session and asking the student to teach a question to the tutor. A tutor can build the confidence of a student, reassuring the student on their strengths, and encouraging them to build and…

A tutor has to want the student to succeed in what they're learning. It's important to know specifically where the student is struggling in order to help them.

Inside TappingTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Ava focused on understanding gradients and the basics of straight-line graphs, using visual examples to clarify slope.

Year 10 student Liam tackled trigonometric ratios and right-angled triangle problems, reinforcing concepts with practice questions from recent classwork.

For a Year 6 student, Chloe worked through identifying 10% and 20% of amounts in worded money problems and practiced giving change during shopping list activities.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 mathematics, one student repeatedly forgot to double-check negatives and confused the rules for 'and'/'or' in probability questions; as a tutor noted, "some careless mistakes can be fixed by double-checking his work."

During a Year 12 algebra session, skipping written steps led to missed signs and confusion when expanding brackets.

In a Year 4 session on telling time, anxiety about getting answers wrong caused hesitation—even when she knew the method.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student's test performance suffered from distractions in noisy environments, despite demonstrating strong understanding during quieter tutoring sessions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Tapping noticed a real shift with one Year 11 student who had been averaging around the class mark all year but recently scored about 16% above average on her maths exam—she'd struggled to organise her investigations before, but this time produced much clearer written sections and nailed right-angled trigonometry questions.

In another session, a Year 9 student who usually hesitated to ask for help began pausing mid-task to clarify confusing steps instead of guessing, which meant he solved four-digit addition problems independently by the end.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner confidently counted money using different note combinations without guidance for the first time.

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 Joondalup Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Tapping Primary School.
