Science Tutor Guildford, WA
The most important things a tutor can do are to be as empathetic, open-minded and willing to foster a strong relationship with the student as much as possible, and to be dedicated to helping the student grow. My strengths as a tutor are my willingness to learn, my interpersonal skills and my experience in learning and helping others with various…

The most important thing is to be there for the student. Sometimes being unable to understand a subject is really demotivating and can be frustrating. I have been in those shoes and having someone to sit with and spend the time to teach in multiple different ways is very important I am good at explaining concepts in different ways to allow…

A tutor is beyond someone that can just teach some topics to students, but they are someone that the student looks upto, and feels comfortable sharing their weaknesses to. It is essential for for the tutor to understand the child’s needs, and cater to those specifically. My strengths are that i have recently graduated high school, so I am very…

I can make the student not only competent, but also comfortable and confident in a certain topic. I understand how stressful hard subjects can be. I want to take away the feeling of fear when students enter a class they think they're not good in. Another thing is teaching a student to be an autodidact. I was fortunate enough to know this tactic…

I think the most important thing is to adhere to the students needs and their form of learning. If a student is more of a visual learner then I would adapt my teaching style to suit them. I also feel that being available after class hours for queries and concerns is vital but also be able to provide guidance and a good role model not only…

Inside GuildfordTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Ethan practiced spelling patterns using Sound Waves and explored author's purpose in texts—distinguishing between persuasive, informative, and entertaining writing with examples.

In Year 9, Sarah worked on interpreting index laws through both simple and complex problems, then applied these to algebraic expressions and worded questions involving pronumerals.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Liam revised trigonometry by calculating unknown side lengths and angles using tangent ratios and practiced drawing diagrams from worded problems for geometry review.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student, despite solid maths understanding, forgot to write down working steps in algebra and Pythagoras questions; as one tutor noted, "he recognised sign errors only after seeing missing steps."

In Year 11 English, a lack of organisation meant test topics weren't communicated ahead—no time for targeted revision.

For a Year 7 student, skipping annotation during text analysis made it harder to find evidence for interpretations.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner often left working unlabelled when solving area problems, making it difficult to spot where confusion started.

Missed opportunities for feedback or review slowed progress in each case.

Recent Achievements

One Guildford tutor noticed a Year 9 student who used to skip steps in algebra now carefully writes out all their working and talks through each question, which has made tricky problems much less overwhelming.

In a recent session with a Year 11 English student, the tutor saw them confidently analyse quotes by connecting character motives to broader themes—something they hesitated with before.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who often rushed through reading slowed down and sounded out unfamiliar words independently, leading to much more fluent reading when tackling a harder text this week.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Georgia is happy with Kelvin. She is very shy and so it is great that she feels comfortable with him.

Everything is going well with Dexter. Jordana gets on really well with her, and finds Dexter explains things very clearly, and has been a great help already with her understanding of Maths.

Jakob and Cara have a great working relationship and cover alot of content in each session. Cara's confidence and maths skills have grown considerably since commencing tutoring.

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