Psychology Tutor Murdoch, WA
In my opinion, the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to break a concept down to its simplest form. In my school days, I often found this to be the easiest way to learn. If your basic foundation of any concept is strong, it gets much easier to build on that and learn more complex information pertaining to it. Moreover, being…

Psychology Tutor Leeming, WA
It is a necessity for a tutor to establish rapport with their students. As a proponent of a theory in rapport for learners, it is important that the student and teacher must sense each other, sync in their teaching and learning process and experience an affirming positive experience while educating. I am very creative in teaching my students. I…

Psychology Tutor Hamilton Hill, WA
I think the most important is to follow the students lead. They will often know their weaknesses and from spending time working with them, you can take note of possible areas of improvement. However, at the end of the day you are there to help the student so by listening and communicating effectively both parties will be satisfied. The ability to…

Psychology Tutor Rossmoyne, WA
I think that the most important thing a tutor can do is build the student's confidence in themselves and their own abilities so that the student is able to realise that with a little guidance and support they can achieve anything they want. I think my biggest strength as a tutor is that I have the patience required to explain a new challenging…

Inside CockburnTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Chloe worked on finding area and perimeter of squares and rectangles, using diagrams to help visualise measurement.

In Year 9, Aiden explored narrative analysis in English by breaking down literary devices like metaphor and allusion, as well as practising persuasive writing techniques such as emotive language and anecdote in preparation for assessments.

For Year 10 maths, Lucas revised solving linear inequalities and graphing their solutions, alongside work on simultaneous equations with substitution and elimination methods.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 English, one student did not finish their novel before the deadline and struggled to recall key details when questioned; "he needs to reread the ending until he can more effectively comprehend it."

In Year 11 Legal Studies, another was reluctant to attempt questions with unfamiliar wording unless prompted, avoiding independent problem-solving.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student repeatedly left homework incomplete due to confusion and did not attempt tasks without immediate support. This led to missed opportunities for feedback and practice—questions went unanswered, and confidence faltered when faced with new or challenging material.

Recent Achievements

One Cockburn tutor recently noticed a big turnaround for Caitlin in maths: after re-trying her previous assessment, she answered every question correctly, showing real persistence where she'd struggled before.

In Year 10, Nikita flagged tricky finance problems herself during the session instead of waiting passively—she then worked through how payment plans add extra costs and could explain her reasoning back to the tutor.

Meanwhile, Aiden (Year 9) started building a steady reading habit by completing all set chapters for English ahead of time and took initiative to research evidence for his persuasive essay without prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Just letting you know how happy Jack is with Yuta. He's so lovely, friendly and polite and  has been  great helping Jack with his maths. Jack understands the way Yuta explains things and is much more confident with his maths now. So far this year Jack has been struggling with maths and his marks have been in the 40% range. Since the tutoring with Yuta started, Jack has sat for his Year 11 Yearly Exam in which he got 70%  which is a great improvement, so he was really happy about that and feels that with continued tutoring he can improve a little more. Jack would like to continue tutoring with Yuta  after the school holidays when school resumes, so we will keep in touch and book in again once Jack receives his new Year 12 Timetable. Thankyou.

So far Adriana has only had the 2 lessons because Aathi had to cancel an appointment and we couldn't have a lesson this past Monday because of school holidays so this Monday we're having 2 lessons to try and catch up . Adriana absolutely loves Aathi which surprised me because she hates maths but he's won her over already so I have a good feeling about this. thankyou

We are very happy with Anh and her tutoring of Lana.  We are taking a break over the school holidays and public holiday but will be back into it in a couple of weeks. Anh was very generous with her time leading up to Lana's last exam and although not anticipated given the short lead up time, her results improved. It's been a great decision for us to set the foundations for Lana with senior maths.

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 Success Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like SEDA College WA (Cockburn).
