Important things a tutor can do for a student is firstly, learning about them. This means identifying their strengths and weaknesses to create a learning-style which is suitable for the student. As a tutor you should also improve a students studying style and work with them to achieve their best. Tutors should help students build their confidence…

Know your stuff. Always. As simple as it might sound, really bringing your students a reliable foundation of knowledge on the subject is always crucial. It doesn't mean that you ALWAYS have to know your stuff though, we are human, and human can sometimes afford not to know it all. This is when I would go on, do my research, and make sure the next…

Other than imparting the lessons in school, I think being able to empathize with the students is key in effective teaching. As a matter of strategy, what I will do is to meet them where they are academically, then prepare a plan and implement it to be able to meet our goal(s). I have the ability to relate with young kids well. Raising three…

I believe one of the most important things a tutor can do is create a safe, encouraging space where students feel confident to ask questions, make mistakes, and grow. It’s not just about helping them understand the content, it’s also about building their self-belief and showing them that they "can" succeed. A good tutor should also adapt their…

According to me, the most important thing as a tutor is to try and try until the student understands, although it takes a lot of patience and time. It is also important to explore the student's best way of learning, which may include audio, visual, or kinesthetic, and make efforts to teach them accordingly. As a tutor, I first make my students…

While I think it's important to assist students from an academic standpoint, I also think it's important for tutors to help students develop a sense of purpose in their studies.

Listen. Every student excels in some ways and does not in others. This emphasises the importance for a tutor to present ideas in ways which allow the student to learn them in the most efficient and effective ways. This also ensures that the tutor does not repeat anything the student already knows and identifies what the student has yet to learn. -…

Local Reviews

Inside Cumberland ParkTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Ella revised advanced algebra questions and explored real-life applications of ratios in preparation for a test.

For Year 10, Andrea worked through exponential equations and factorials, solidifying her understanding with targeted practice on these challenging concepts.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student focused on polynomials—identifying key features for an assignment—and began tackling trigonometry questions to reinforce graphing skills.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student showed reluctance to attempt graph sketching without guidance; "she did not do enough graph sketching," leading to gaps when tackling domain and range problems independently.

In Year 8 algebra, one student avoided writing out working, especially when unsure about substituting values—this led to confusion about what the question required and inconsistent analyses.

For a Year 6 learner, over-reliance on calculators meant basic multiplication facts weren't recalled automatically during quick-fire exercises.

A Year 4 student struggled with following written lines in number work, making errors harder to spot or correct mid-task.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Cumberland Park noticed that one Year 11 student, who used to avoid difficult questions, now independently attempts challenging problems after just a little prompting and even handed in her assignment draft with no concerns.

In Year 9, another student showed a shift from needing constant guidance to confidently suggesting her own approaches—she now requires fewer prompts to answer algebra questions and explains her reasoning clearly.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who previously struggled with multiplication is recalling tables more easily and now works through worksheets, recognising and correcting mistakes on her own.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Hi Erica, Thanks for the follow up email.  Currently I am offshore and will be back in Perth around the 19th. I am sure Alex is going well, however time will tell.  Louise and Myself are happy with Safire.

We have got off to a great start with Devina.  Aiden has really enjoyed the sessions so far and finds Devina explains everything extremely well, actually much better than his teacher at school.  We are making really good progress and even after such a short time Aiden has gained so much more confidence with his maths,  so many thanks for sending her our way.

Timothy is very happy with how things are going with Jerome.  Tim feels like he is learning and is comfortable with Jerome who I have found to be a very polite young man.  Tim has not had any tests or exams since he began tutoring, I'm sure we will see an improvement at that time.

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 Mitcham Memorial Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Westbourne Park Primary School.
