If tutor is teaching students, first of all, students should not feel bored. Different students different angle of understanding, so s/he should use different techniques and ideas to made students understand it. I want all my students should understand the mathematics.

One of the best qualities of a tutor is to create a personal connection to your student. While tutoring classes in the past, I would encompass fun activities within the lesson in order to build an easy rapport with students in the beginning, making the student feel at ease, and comfortable, putting the student in a position in which he or she…

To understand that students aren’t going to magically understand concepts they have been struggling with for a while. It’s important that tutors don’t put pressure into students to hurry up and understand as that will only cause more stress. If the student doesn’t understand, it’s up to the tutor to re-word themselves and explain the…

A tutor needs to be able to understand where the student is academically, what they currently understand and what holes they have in their knowledge. They are not a teacher, but are there to help reinforce and strengthen what their teacher is currently going over. A tutor should be helping the student to understand the content through linking…

The most crucial thing a tutor can do for a student, in my opinion, is to foster an atmosphere in which they feel free to ask for assistance without the fear of judgement. Additionally, I think that assigning extra work—despite the kids' resentment—can be beneficial because it will empower them to solve the problems on their own and promote…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is be patient and listen to what they aren't understanding. Also to be able to identify that is a student isn't understanding a concept then the tutor needs to be able to recognise this and try to explain it to them in a different way. I think my strengths as a tutor are that I am a very…

Students are different from each other, some are fast learner while others are the opposite.

In addition, the tutor should have the ability to communicate in a easy to understand way and…

Help the student completely understand the concepts at hand. I personally don't believe anyone can inherently be "bad at math". If anything, they just take longer to understand than others. As long as they possess enough willpower to do so, anything is possible. Another thing is that a student must leave the session learning something new. I am…

Local Reviews

Harrison seems really good, he has reviewed and assessed Isaac's work this year, homework and test results. He is very clear on instructions and provided mini homework assignments so he can evaluate Isaac more and also gives him tips and advice at each session knowing what he will be covering that week at school.

Inside ConnollyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Noah focused on reading and writing large numbers up to the hundred thousands, practiced expanded notation, and worked on comparing and ordering numbers using terms like ascending and descending.

In Year 7, Mya revised place value through to the millions and developed mental strategies for addition and subtraction by partitioning numbers.

Meanwhile, Marissa in Year 8 concentrated on algebra skills, specifically collecting like terms with addition and subtraction, as well as revising indices in preparation for her upcoming test.

Recent Challenges

Several students in Connolly displayed process obstacles impacting progress.

For example, a Year 9 student's "school work book [was] very untidy with no structure or order," making it difficult to track errors and improvements; copying from the board without completing tasks led to gaps in understanding algebra.

In Year 8, one student needed reminders to avoid mental calculations—"the algorithms MUST be written and then answered using the given process"—as skipping working hid mistakes.

At Year 4 level, forgetting tables and division steps meant extra time spent relearning basics instead of advancing.

A Year 7 learner often left homework incomplete, slowing skill development between sessions.

Recent Achievements

One Connolly tutor saw a big shift in Mya, a high schooler who previously hesitated with algebra: she's now tackling tasks more independently, using a calculator to find the circumference of circles and editing her written work after guidance.

Marissa, also in high school, recently achieved 94% on a maths test—a jump from earlier sessions where tiredness or confusion would hold her back—and is now self-correcting when she mixes up indices and multiplication.

Meanwhile, Noah in Year 3 has started asking for help instead of guessing during reading tasks and uses a ruler as his own strategy to add and subtract without embarrassment.

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 Joondalup Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Connolly Primary School.
