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.

An excellent tutor will keep their students…

Inside BalcattaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Ben focused on area and perimeter of squares and rectangles, plus practiced converting between units such as centimetres to metres.

Year 8 Bronte worked through problems involving linear equations from graphs—finding x- and y-intercepts, gradients, and identifying perpendicular lines—and revisited multiplying and dividing fractions with variables.

Meanwhile, Year 10 Cohen revised quadratic factorisation (including completing the square), then moved on to graphing exponential functions and describing their key features like intercepts and asymptotes.

Recent Challenges

During recent high school maths sessions, one student left worksheets unfinished and submitted only a single page of class notes over three lessons; their practice test was largely unattempted, so essential content on sketching quadratics and five-number summaries wasn't reinforced.

"Ben didn't show me any written attempts for one of his homework questions (linear eqns)," as a tutor observed—avoiding working through the steps hid errors with negatives and slowed progress in worded problems.

In Year 12, another rushed through a test due to nerves, leading to missed justifications in geometry proofs.

The sense of falling behind grew as gaps widened week by week.

Recent Achievements

One Balcatta tutor noticed Bronte making a real shift in her approach to fraction problems: after initially slipping up, she started talking through each step out loud and was able to catch and fix her own mistakes—something she hadn't done before.

Another win came from Ben in Year 9 maths, who had previously rushed his tests and made small errors; this time, he identified where he'd gone wrong by backchecking his answers aloud, which helped him avoid the same mistakes on homework.

In an upper primary session, a student who used to guess at clock reading now draws the clock hands herself and reads the time with growing accuracy.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Yes very happy with Phoebe she is a wonderful tutor & very pleasant towards my girls  they feel at ease with her as she explains all maths concepts in the simplest of forms (much to the delight. of my daughter Phoebe who said she's learned/understood a lot more in the last three weeks than she had learned all of last year) &  she's building up their confidence to have a more positive outlook when approaching their maths homework!

I just got back from the US this morning we are very happy with Rhett and Connor has really clicked with him and his teaching methods. Under Rhetts tutoring Connor managed to go from a fail to a C+ 65% on his resit after only two sessions with Rhett so a great achievement if we had the ability to have more sessions with Rhett we would happily take them.

So far Katie has been prompt, personable and prepared. As you say it is very early days -we are only just getting to the point where we are clear on where she is at and where she needs to be.

Chemistry tutoring in Balcatta

Chemistry can be confusing. Even if students pick it up in the beginning, the sheer amount of content and scope of principles can be overwhelming. It's no wonder most students need an extra push from time to time.

The best thing teachers can do if their students are struggling is approach their learning in a personalized way, really getting to know their habits and specific challenges they face. There's nothing like having that one person who knows your study habits inside out, especially when it comes to science. Unfortunately, in classrooms, that's not always possible.

Chemistry Tutor Balcatta

Many parents find that tutoring helps bridge the gap, but locating a reliable chemistry tutor in Balcatta isn't as easy as it sounds.

That's where we can help, that's what we do best.

You choose the time, what you want the tutor to work on and how often they should come. If you are not sure what your child needs, we will figure it out for you.

Once we have a chat we will match you with a local Balcatta chemistry tutor and set up the first lesson.

And what if something doesn't seem right, you just don't like the first lesson? No worries, we won't charge you! Instead, we'll look for someone who's a better match.

As simple as that!

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