Chemistry Tutor Glen Forrest, WA
An encouraging learning environment. I always have and I will continue to uphold this key ingredient in a good teaching environment, by listening, never criticising and only offering constructive advice the student will take pride in their studies and always feel welcome to ask questions. It's the most important factor in developing a good…

Chemistry Tutor Greenmount, WA
Giving a student the tools necessary to progress in the subject by himself whilst also being kind and patient. Giving just questions and answers can be done by his teacher for free, so tutors should give that extra mile. The various ways i can put a question. The one big thing about a hard question is some people might not understand it, so having…

Chemistry Tutor Jane Brook, WA
I think the most important thing a chemistry tutor can do for a student would be to find a way to engage them and encourage them to succeed in their studies. To help them actually see that they're getting better, and keep them motivated to continue working the best they can. I am a patient person with a relaxed demeanour. I can understand that…

Chemistry Tutor Kalamunda, WA
For me, the most important thing a chemistry tutor can provide a student is confidence. It is paramount that a tutor encourages the student to become intrinsically motivated to study and to cultivate a love for the subject, as this will allow the student to fully achieve their potential. Ensuring that a student has confidence and self belief can…

Chemistry Tutor Greenmount, WA
Be genuine; be genuine about knowing the information, be geuine about wanting to help and being genuinely concerned for their education. I am really good at explaining things to students, in lots of different ways if they dont understand. My weakness would be that i am really friendly, and if the student just wants to sit and talk i would have a…

Chemistry Tutor Midland, WA
A tutor should: 1. Break complex concepts into simple, logical and manageable steps, making learning easier and more enjoyable. 2. Being friendly, open and understanding. Without this, students may not feel comfortable effectively learning and asking questions. 3. Providing structured practice with tailored feedback. One of the best ways…

Inside Glen ForrestTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Sophia focused on probability as fractions, decimals, and percents, and also worked with the probability line to visually represent likelihood.

For Year 7, Max tackled simplifying algebraic expressions involving polynomials and practiced applying the distributive property to factorise terms.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Ava concentrated on rounding decimals to one or two decimal places as well as whole numbers, using real-world examples for extra clarity.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student did not complete any set probability homework and, as one tutor observed, "she wasn't cooperative and didn't want to involve herself in the lesson, even though she has a test the next day." This lack of engagement meant missed opportunities for exam practice.

In Year 7 algebra, forgetting to bring a calculator and textbook led to delays starting equations tasks.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student repeatedly left her story plan unwritten for homework; when asked about it, she became distracted by laptop use instead. The absence of written practice directly impacted her ability to draft introductions independently during lessons.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Glen Forrest recently noticed a big change with one Year 10 student who, after weeks of hesitation, now openly asks for clarification on algebraic expressions instead of quietly guessing—making it much easier to tackle new material together.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student who previously struggled to keep up with negative numbers was able to independently solve mixed problems using a number line, showing real initiative by checking her own work.

On the primary side, a Year 4 learner completed all their math tasks without reminders and even explained how to find the mean in her own words.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Sharren is wonderful. They have formed an instant connection, and Bree is already feeling more confident and did an open book maths test yesterday without looking at the book hardly at all. Sharren is already a part of the house when i walk through the door and she is already in my opinion, the best tutor for Bree

What a lovely, patient and kind person Alfred is. He got straight into the maths and hit it off with Kent immediately.

I have been meaning to email but time got away. Hazel is loving Rabiba! She's just perfect for her. In fact when we discussed extending the time to two hours in a week or so Hazel agreed instantly. I was in shock. We are all very happy with her so far. She's very reliable and polite.

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 Boya Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Glen Forrest Primary School.
