The most important things a tutor can do for student is to be very patient with the student. A tutor should be approachable and understanding and should know the strengths and the weaknesses of his/her students. At the end of the day, the student should learn a lot from the tutor. As I have experienced almost 3 years of being a tutor in…

Students often tend to be awkward and shy, so a tutor need to be laid back and can keep their cool even when students are non-responsive or sometimes, rude. A tutor needs to take the student's academic struggles into account, and praise the efforts they put in and also keep track of the student's progress. The most important thing a tutor can do…

Helping the student understand, because I always believe if they could understand the topic, they can continue to answer the rest of the questions on their own.

Local Reviews

We are very happy with Neve and work she is doing with Jacob
Sandy, Armadale

Inside ArmadaleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Isabelle focused on trigonometry basics and solving linear equations, with some lessons dedicated to exam revision using past papers.

In Year 10, Marcus practiced applying the quadratic formula to solve equations and reviewed concepts of exponential growth and decay in financial maths, often consolidating skills through targeted revision exercises.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Lily worked on fraction addition and simplification alongside exploring perimeter and area concepts using visual models for clarity.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student struggled to organise study materials, with a tutor noting "it would be nice to have notes ready; we can discuss notes organisation next time." This meant revision for geometry and algebra was less effective before tests.

In Year 7, another student relied heavily on their calculator during lessons, but when asked to show working for interest rate questions, gaps in understanding became clear.

For a primary student, forgetting homework and notebooks repeatedly led to wasted lesson time retrieving materials instead of tackling multiplication practice—so progress slowed noticeably at the start of each session.

Recent Achievements

One Armadale tutor noticed real growth in a Year 11 student who, after weeks of struggling with trigonometry, finally grasped the key concepts and even completed a challenging worksheet from their teacher independently—something that hadn't happened before.

In another session, a Year 9 student who previously hesitated to ask questions now arrives prepared with her own list of tricky topics, actively seeking clarification and tackling homework with far fewer errors.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student surprised her tutor by recalling methods from earlier lessons on fractions and confidently applied them to new problems without prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We could not be happier with Mandar he is very pleasant to deal with, always on time and very good with the Khai, Piper and Chase.

Connor was great and has put Indigo on a great pathway for working independently with her maths.

Kerry helped Ella with her confidence and she did really well with her math test. Her scores have been going up.

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 Armadale Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like John Calvin Christian College.
