Science Tutor Alkimos, WA
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to use different methods of teaching to communicate the content, so the student can learn in a number of ways. Everyone learns differently, so when you meet a student for the first time, you should experiment with different teaching styles (explaining the content, using examples, scenarios,…

Encouragement is the most important quality a tutor should have. Doubt is unfortunately a huge negative factor when trying to learn so when a tutor shows a true belief to a student, confidence sparks & can fuel motivation. I believe a tutor is meant to empower their student to success By personal experience, I’ve had both, a tutors who just…

Science Tutor Merriwa, WA
Every student is different and every student has different ways of understanding concepts. Some might learn them easily via a practical approach while others focus on the theory first. Understanding the weak points of a student and focusing on the strength of a student is very important for a tutor to know. One of my strengths is a strong…

A tutor should firstly be encouraging; to be more confident in their studies, for them to work hard and try their best, and to inspire a love of learning. Secondly, it is imperative to be understanding. Every student is unique, with varying goals, learning styles, and abilities, so learning should be tailored to each individual to ensure every…

A tutor can bring in enjoyment into students even when they study. Most of the students don't enjoy study time the main reason being they don't understand certain concepts and find it hard. But a tutor can explain that to students in a way they understand bring in interest thereby the enjoyment factor into it. I have great patience, good problem…

1. Be understanding and compassionate, as we may not fully understand their scenario or their struggles. 2. Listening to students in regards to what their weakest areas are and implementing any methods they may want to use to address the issue (e.g. practice questions). 3. Understanding when it's the right time to say "lets move onto another…

It's important to be understanding, to listen to what a student (or parent) wants to get out of tutoring, and to focus on the student's goals. It's also important to be clear in your teaching, and to come up with creative and interesting ways to teach each student, as every student is different. I have a very enthusiastic and positive approach to…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is be patient, stay calm at all times and try new ways to explain the work if they don’t understand. My strengths are that I can break the work down enough so that anyone can understand. I’m a very patient person so the students will never feel pressured or stressed. I’m also…

Inside AlkimosTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Emily practised telling the time on both analogue and digital clock faces and worked through division word problems to build her problem-solving skills.

In Year 7, Liam focused on combining like terms in algebra and used number lines to understand operating with fractions.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Ava tackled linear equations alongside ratios, using practice quizzes and step-by-step examples to reinforce each method.

Recent Challenges

In Year 7 mathematics, one student preferred to solve problems mentally rather than writing steps out, which made it harder to spot errors—"sometimes Aidan does all his working in his head."

In a Year 10 algebra lesson, forgetting to include negative signs led to repeated corrections before reaching the right answer.

Across several primary sessions, missed or misplaced homework slowed progress; for example, "Izzy had lost her whiteboard homework."

During a Year 9 English task, hesitation over editing choices resulted in unnecessary changes and reduced clarity.

Skipping opening goal-setting meant less focus during some lessons, leading to restlessness and slower work.

Recent Achievements

One Alkimos tutor noted Seth's shift to confidently speaking up and asking questions when unsure—he now leaves mistakes visible in his work so he can track growth over time.

Caitlin, a high school student, recently tackled algebra homework she'd found confusing the week before; this session, she explained her working independently and combined like terms with little prompting.

In another win for older students, Dina has begun editing her own writing drafts after struggling to make revisions in past sessions; last lesson, she added her own ending to a story and corrected errors without help.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Sophie is very happy with Jane as a tutor.  Jane is extremely diligent - we have the complication of the UK syllabi and Jane has taken a lot of trouble in her own time, to check up on what Sophie should be learning !

Hello and thank you for your email. We are happy with Philip's progress in these few weeks as you suggest I am sure more time is needed for him to be more confident . We are also happy with his tutor he is very well spoken, polite and gets on well with my son so far.

Thanks Gene, so far, Jamie's response has been very good.  He has had 2 lessons to date, as last week was cancelled at our request (he was away on camp). Jamie has responded very well to Eshan, who's approach is unassuming, gentle, but persuasive and constructive.  Jamie actually looks forward to spending time with Eshan to teach him his Maths strategies. We look forward to seeing Eshan again next week. Thanks also for the newsletter.  I have to say that I think your supportive written material is very useful!
