Tutor Quinns Rocks, WA
The most important thing is to listen what they are struggling with and help them with that. Help them build the lifelong skills so they can develop themselves to learn how to do things not just teaching them specific things. I have knowledge in a variety of subjects and I myself was tutored when I was younger so I know what it is I enjoyed and…

Understand the student's goals. Put themselves in the student's position and understand their abilities, then tailor the methods/techniques accordingly. Hopefully encourage an interest in the subject so that they want to learn more. I am highly articulate when explaining my thought processes. I like to break things down into smaller, more easily…

An important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to give a space for them to have a smooth communication with the tutor so that they will be free to clear all their doubts which in turn smoothens the learning. Apart from that instead of just focusing on subject learning a tutor can also teach them certain moral values which will make…

I think ultimately as a tutor the most important thing is developing kids confidence, In math for example, problems can seem very complicated and overwhelming and it isn't just enough showing students how to solve them but giving them the tools to approach all problems and break them down and I think In doing that difficult problems become much…

The reason why a student hires a student is because they struggle in the classroom environment, where they may not get that much help from the teacher. Which is why it is important for the tutor to provide a more personal teaching method and generate a friendship between each other. Making sure you help with anything the student is struggling…

The most important thing a student can get from a tutor is unconditional support, and students should be assured that they have the right to ask their tutors any questions they may have. Good interacting skills and the way i adapt to every kid is what I consider as my strength. As every individual is different, patience is very much important and…

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 think the most important things a tutor can do are build confidence, create a safe space to learn, and make the subject understandable. Its not just about teaching content its about helping the student believe they can succeed. A good tutor should listen, be patient, and celebrate small wins along the way so the student feels supported and…

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.

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 Clarkson Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St James' Anglican School.
