Ensuring a safe environment where they don't feel judged or embarrassed for not understanding something. I'm currently studying Mechatronic Engineering at QUT and I finished grade 12 with a VHA in Math B, C and Physics. I understand the content but I'm more interested in understanding what makes the content click with a student. Whether it's…

Listen to feedback. Make sure they understand what they are being taught and determine if a new approach is needed. Sometimes the same information can be summarised and presented in a different way that is just easier for some people to understand. My own capacity for learning. Information retention and comprehensive analysis. Communication…

My teaching style is a self-made one which is partially inspired by my mom and my grandmother who were also teachers. * I try to simplify things as much as possible. In fact, i believe, the most difficult thing to do is to simplify something. * I always try to include real-life examples while explaining concepts which helps the students to…

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…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student include fostering a deep understanding of the subject matter, promoting critical thinking skills, and providing personalized support and feedback.

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to explain concepts they are confused with in a way that is suited to their individual learning style. This can be achieved by spending some initial time to learn about the students subject weaknesses and strengths to understand how they learn and tailoring the teaching style to suit…

A tutor must not only teach the student the concepts that they are learning at the present time but also guide them in being able to learn efficiently for their work in the future. It is important to develop good habits early on so that a student may progress further in their learning. I believe that I am able to relate to students very well in…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to be able to help the student enjoy the subject and to help them to improve their grades. Also, in a subject like mathematics, a tutor must be able to help students to solve tricky and challenging questions. I will be able to do this since I try to teach students the different techniques needed to solve…

Be patient, understanding, and be encouraging! High school is not an easy thing, not just because of what you're learning but also because life must go on outside of school. University students face the same problem, so we know that not all days are great days. So as a tutor, you need to be supportive of your student where necessary, so that when…

I think the purpose of a tutor is to complement and supplement the school classroom learning to ensure that the student has a good understanding of the subject's content, but ultimately a good tutor will develop a student's independent learning ability, and only fill in gaps in a student's knowledge when required. A tutor should guide a student…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to make sure there is continual improvement in their work. If there are signs the student is not improving, then it's important to look for weaknesses or anything the student is struggling with and work on those areas. I know at uni, and when I was at school, the feeling of understanding…

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.
