First and foremost it would be building a strong rapport with the student and gaining mutual trust and respect. This builds a foundation of confidence and comfort which optimises a students ability to learn and their attitude towards learning. Tutors should be adaptable and be able to target the teaching to each students unique way of learning. …

English Tutor Dalkeith, WA
A tutor does not just teach a student a particular subject. I believe that the most important function of a tutor is to foster overall academic confidence in a student and to develop better study techniques/learning habits more generally. A good tutor can give a student motivation and techniques to achieve not only in the tutored subject, but in…

English Tutor Como, WA
I believe explaining a concept in such a way that the student understands it intuitively and can thus use that understanding to solve different problems, rather than simply rote-learning a series of facts, is an incredibly important part of being a tutor. The tutor should be adding to a student's toolkit such that they can solve a variety of…

I think that, as I said earlier, building confidence is an important thing, so that students can be self-sufficient. I also think that when they take pride in their work, they can achieve beyond their own expectations. I have a lot of experience in coaching children in soccer (aged 2-12) and I also have two sisters aged 7 and 17. I think that…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is listen to them. Listening to them and understanding their point of view when something seems difficult for them, even when it isn't really from my perspective. Then combatting this problem by exploring different ways to present a difficult concept. I do this using analogies and using simple…

The first thing would be to establish a plan of goals and expectations and help the student identify their role in this plan. Once a tutor has an idea of the expectation of the parents/school/ students then only can progress take shape, and this might have many forms and variations as to how this is executed as the student grows or stalls. So,…

First and foremost, a tutor has to gel up with the student, make him/her comfortable. Once that is done, the teaching method adopted must be interesting, with must include examples from daily life so that the student can relate to it easily.

Inside CoolbellupTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Chloe focused on reading comprehension strategies and converting fractions to decimals and vice versa, using practical examples.

In Year 8, James practised factorisation by taking out common factors and worked through index laws with step-by-step problem solving.

For Year 10, Olivia revised surface area of prisms including portions and calculated the volume of solids such as cylinders, applying formulas to real-world shapes.

Recent Challenges

A Year 3 student was encouraged to write her working and thoughts on paper, rather than relying on mental calculations—this made her steps clearer but also revealed where logic went astray in worded maths questions.

In Year 7, overthinking often slowed down progress; as one tutor noted, "he broke up the question into too many parts and lost track of what was needed."

A Year 11 student struggled with planning ahead for assessments: forgetting exam dates led to last-minute study attempts instead of steady revision.

When homework or practice questions were left incomplete, gaps in understanding lingered until next session.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Coolbellup noticed a Year 11 student who used to rush through worded problems now pauses to underline key information before solving, which has led to fewer mistakes in her recent assessments.

In Year 9 maths, another student who previously avoided factorisation questions started using palm cards for the index laws and successfully worked through factorising expressions on her own this week.

A younger student, Year 5, who struggled with reading comprehension is now able to identify the main idea in short texts without prompting and recently read an entire GATE sample passage aloud without stumbling.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We have had two tutor sessions with Rhys and thus far we have been very happy with everything and more importantly Stewart is quite comfortable with Rhys and is finding the sessions helpful.

The tutoring is going well. Liana is settling in well and she finds Jacques explains things in a way she can understand.

Zoe's coaching with Lydia was exactly what we needed and Lydia enjoyed working with her. She is an asset to your coaching team.

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 Coolbellup Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Coolbellup Community School.
