I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is leaving them with a range of tools for study that they can use on their own at school or if I’m not around. The student being able to use study techniques that I have taught them on their own accord is what I would aim to achieve. My strengths as a tutor would have to be my…

It's important to be able to explain concepts clearly and ensure that the student understands the concept. I also think it's important to lead by example and encourage healthy study techniques (such as showing working out, writing full sentences etc). You not only impart knowledge to them but also good study ethic. I'm an active listener, which is…

To be fully committed to helping a student achieve above and beyond their goals. Not to just teach and show them the bare minimum of what they need help with but to set them on a path that will aid them in fulfilling their future journey independently. I think setting a priority in listening and understanding the students needs as well as their…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is be patient. Everyone learns at their own pace, and it can be frustrating for a student when they cannot quite grasp a tricky idea. It takes patience and understanding to help that student make positive progress. I believe that my communication skills are my greatest strength as a…

Give confidence to the student to be able to do the work independently eventually, and guide them in the right direction for doing so. If a tutor can teach and guide the student into having confidence and a good skill set to be able to feel comfortable doing the work at school, and it gives students self-assurance, then the tutor has done their…

Local Reviews

Amazing experience, helpful friendly and understanding that my child has a different way of learning. Highly recommended
Michelle Williams, Alexander Heights

Inside Alexander HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Chloe worked on calculating mean, median, mode, and range for different data sets and practiced representing this information using tables.

In Year 9, Ethan focused on solving linear equations and understanding isotopes and half-life in science, including some worksheet activities.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Olivia reviewed simple interest calculations alongside forming and solving linear equations, with extra attention given to real-world worded questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student was encouraged to write down thoughts when tackling algebra, but often relied on mental calculations—leading to missed steps in rearranging equations and errors like "misreading values and question."

In a Year 7 lesson, incomplete notes on angles meant confusion persisted between co-interior and alternate angle types.

One senior student practiced only familiar times tables during revision; as noted, this avoided weaker areas and limited growth in harder multiplication tasks.

In Year 8, reluctance to show working ("does not want to/ does not understand the step by step approach") slowed progress solving fractions.

Recent Achievements

One Alexander Heights tutor noticed a Year 9 student who used to get stuck on equations now working out both x and y values independently and even identifying whether the gradient was negative or positive—a real leap from last term's hesitation.

In a recent high school session, another student who rarely spoke up began talking through her maths thinking aloud and showed more interest in tackling new problems, rather than waiting for prompts.

Meanwhile, a primary-aged learner completed all her school holiday homework on probability without reminders and could clearly explain her answers when asked.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Yes she certainly got a lot out of it. Ben is s terrific, gentle teacher who was just the right person for her.

I'd like to let you know how happy we are with Lauren.  She has helped Zac to not only understand math concepts but has helped him gain confidence in his own ability.  He had gone from C grades to A- and A in recent exams.

Thank you so much for your assistance over the past months. Alex has progressed quite well and is getting more enjoyment out the subject given that he now has a better grasp of it.

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