A tutor can change a student's life in ways more than one. She can help them find their confidence. She can, also, help them believe in themselves and encourage them to ask questions they have been scared to ask in their classes. A tutor can help a student overcome their fears and help them improve. Apart from helping the students achieve their…

The single most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be patient. Everyone learns things at different rates and some things may come more easily than others. If the tutor becomes frustrated it only ends up discouraging and demoralising the student which further affects their study and confidence. Hence, it is vital for a tutor to be…

Firstly, I believe the philosophy of "Teaching to fish rather than giving a fish. " It suggests that the tutor has a responsibility to inspire her students to take further exploration in the subject and cultivate good learning habits. Secondly, I think encouragement is essential in tutoring. Being as a tutor, I would let my student know that they…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be patient. One has to understand that every child has different ways of learning as well as the pace at which they learn. Therefore, a tutor should be perfectly fine with repeating a thing many times. A tutor should also be judgement free during the tutoring process as this makes the…

Inside WestlakeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 12 student Sanvi focused on refining her chemistry assignment rationale and analysis, then practiced exam-style questions on acid-base equilibria and buffer solutions.

In Year 11, Ethan reviewed the application of log laws to algebraic equations in math before switching to chemistry to explore VSEPR theory and its impact on molecular shape using diagrams.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Priya completed revision on Pythagoras' theorem with targeted practice problems and wrapped up her work on algebraic expressions by solving index law questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9, a student avoided writing out solutions in algebra, often saying, "I can do this in my head," which led to sign errors that went unnoticed until revision.

A Year 11 chemistry student was reminded to "clean up the rationale" and follow the given structure, as messy formatting made it hard to locate key arguments during peer review.

In senior maths (Year 12), over-reliance on calculators for logarithmic equations meant basic log laws were not committed to memory—this slowed progress on non-calculator tasks.

One younger learner missed assigned homework entirely, leaving foundational concepts unpracticed by next lesson.

Recent Achievements

One Westlake tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to leave assignments until the last minute now starting chemistry tasks early, giving her time to improve her rationale and make real links between concepts.

In Year 12 maths, a student who previously hesitated on practice exams has started attempting every question independently and can now derive and integrate complex functions with much less prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger student showed a shift from guessing at diagrams in problem-solving questions to drawing them out purposefully before working through each step—something he'd avoided before.

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 Mount Ommaney Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Middle Park State School.
