English Tutor Currambine, WA
A tutor needs to teach a student, obviously. But more importantly, a tutor needs to empower a student. To make them break through barriers they wouldn’t have thought were possible, to achieve their potential, plus a little more. Tutors should also be more personalised, not so just a second teacher. Tutors should recognise why this specific…

English Tutor Iluka, WA
One of the best qualities of a tutor is to create a personal connection to your student. While tutoring classes in the past, I would encompass fun activities within the lesson in order to build an easy rapport with students in the beginning, making the student feel at ease, and comfortable, putting the student in a position in which he or she…

I have always been a different learner, growing up in Bhutan, the education system is very traditional which included reading textbooks, solving problems and just mugging up answers. I always wanted to understand the subject and apply concepts and in that I feel a tutor must understand the pupil's point of view. The teaching style makes or breaks…

The most important thing is to create a environment in which the student is not afraid to ask questions and in which every question is considered important. A tutor has to respect that everyone learns differently and has to be prepared to re-explain things a few times, maybe in different ways for the student. I am a good listener, I believe I…

Encourage them! Sometimes the issue isn't in the difficulty of the concept, but that they don't believe in themselves. I believe bringing the right attitude of positive reinforcement can really make a difference as well as demonstrating a ton of examples, so the student can establish a pattern. I believe everyone can be good at Maths. It just…

Ethan is settling in very nicely with working with Jordan, who is very professional, friendly and approachable. Ethan is comfortable working with Jordan and is beginning to gain a little confidence in his approach to maths, so we are more than happy to continue working with him.

Inside WoodvaleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Ava reviewed linear algebra and practiced working with integers, focusing on correct operations with negative numbers.

For Year 8, Mia worked through data analysis skills, interpreting different types of graphs and calculating mean, median, and mode using sample datasets.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Ben tackled financial mathematics by exploring loans and interest rates in real-world scenarios, followed by practice questions on unit conversions between metric measurements.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student struggled to keep written work neat and organized during algebra tasks; as one tutor observed, "setting out work so his thinking can be easily understood" was inconsistent, making it hard to spot calculation errors.

In Year 10, a student lost confidence towards the end of fraction questions—doubt crept in after small mistakes and slowed progress.

For a Year 6 assignment involving budgeting and timetabling, homework was left incomplete before sessions, so lesson time was spent catching up rather than extending skills.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student hesitated to attempt new problems independently until prompted.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Woodvale recently noticed a Year 7 student who used to rely heavily on drawing diagrams for division problems now solving them much faster just by using her fingers—she even gets the answers right more consistently.

In a high school session, one Year 10 student surprised himself after initially stumbling with circle measurement; he managed to demonstrate all his classwork independently by the end of the lesson, setting out each step clearly.

Another older student, preparing for OLNA practice, completed nearly every question without needing prompts and tackled some extension tasks as well.

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