The most important things a tutor can do for a student are to build their confidence, develop their critical thinking skills, and provide personalised support. A tutor should create a comfortable learning environment where students feel safe asking questions and making mistakes. Instead of just providing answers, I focus on guiding students to…

I believe encouragement, repetition and clarification of syllabus points are things that a tutor can focus on, in which will greatly improve the confidence and results of the student. I have just recently graduated high school and thus share common experiences with the current students, I believe this as an advantage as I can guide and mentor my…

The first thing would be to establish a plan of goals and expectations and help the student identify their role in this plan. Once a tutor has an idea of the expectation of the parents/school/ students then only can progress take shape, and this might have many forms and variations as to how this is executed as the student grows or stalls. So,…

The most important things is to always be there to help your student even if sometimes you don't know the answer to everything.

I think the most important tasks for a tutor is to push their students to broaden their mind, their perspectives on the subject. I would want my students to be thinking learners and not followers.

Personally, I believe in three things a good tutor can do for a student. First, Can Encourage every child understanding their speciality and treating them differently. The prevailing inherited difference in them is a mean to stimulus the school going students and that can be done by the tutor. Second, Can Motivate on every walk to the student…

I think the most important thing is making the student believe they are capable of learning, before anything else. A lot of students arrive at tutoring already convinced they're 'just bad at maths' or that everyone else gets it except them. The first job of a tutor is to break down that belief. That means reassuring them there is no rush, that…

The most important thing a tutor can do for their student is to celebrate even the smallest of wins. No matter how slow or hard progress is, it is still progress!

A tutor has to make sure a student enjoys the content they are learning that they want to improve rather than just being there because their parents made them take the tutoring.

Teach students HOW to learn in future. Give them techniques to implement into their everyday school routine that will, in the long run, benefit their understanding.

Our tutoring with Mahmud is going well, he is very personable and knowledgeable and has established a good rapport with Jessica over the three sessions we have had. Jessica has felt more confident in class too.
Melissa, Canning Vale

Inside WillettonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Sam focused on simultaneous equations and was introduced to basic trigonometry, working through example problems step by step.

Year 10 student Jessica tackled quadratic equations and factorising perfect squares, with extra attention given to identifying the differences using guided exercises.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Lucas practised area and perimeter calculations across different shapes, applying formulas in written tasks for reinforcement.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 maths, a student often skipped showing steps in algebra and rushed through content without asking questions—"he tends to jump over many aspects of working out," as one tutor observed. This led to confusion when tackling harder problems solo.

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student struggled with timing during exams, finishing with no chance to check answers, which meant errors sometimes went unnoticed.

In lower years, one learner used a calculator for simple times tables like 5x8 instead of recalling facts by memory; another hesitated to attempt questions due to second-guessing herself and low confidence after mistakes.

Recent Achievements

One Willetton tutor noticed a Year 10 student who previously avoided showing working in maths now consistently writes out each step, which has helped him score above 85% on a recent English assessment and tackle tougher maths papers more confidently.

In Year 9 science, another student began asking thoughtful questions about anatomy—linking new content to personal experiences like bronchitis—and later explained those concepts back without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner who once hesitated with times tables now eagerly searches for patterns and self-corrects number reversals during sessions, recently getting through multiplication drills without reminders.

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