Engineering Studies Tutor Langford, WA
The tutor should explain as simple as he/she can to the students for better understanding and solve some examples to achieve appropriate understanding of any concepts. I had a student in year 9 that had so many problems in maths and his grade was D, after working together his grad converted to…

Engineering Studies Tutor South Lake, WA
The most important things a tutor can do for a student is be patient with the student and understand that everyone learns things in different ways and different speeds relative to other students. I believe my strengths as a tutor include: interpersonal skills, kind yet determined attitude, multiple ways of explaining a different concept, open to…

Engineering Studies Tutor Ferndale, WA
If a tutor develops a sense of trust and belief of a student so the student can ask anything, even a thousand times without hesitating is the most important thing. That bond can make learning better and more fun as well. I teach by getting to the intellectual level of the student. It takes a little time to understand the student and how they…

Engineering Studies Tutor Riverton, WA
I've found in my experience that students often lack self confidence, they are extremely capable but feel as though they can't take the problem. I find tutoring for students can be extremely empowering for them. They often surprise themselves with their achievements and this helps them really develop their confidence. Confidence is a hugely…

Engineering Studies Tutor Rossmoyne, WA
I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is focus on that student, listen to what they want and then create a personalised lesson just for them. The major difference between a class and a tutor is how the tutor is able to focus on the one student, and maximising this chance and truly listening to the student and helping them…

Inside HarrisdaleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Emily revised area and perimeter of composite shapes, focusing on how to break down irregular figures into simpler parts.

In Year 9, Jay tackled trigonometric ratios and Pythagoras' Theorem using worked examples and diagrams to reinforce problem-solving steps.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Sarah practiced solving quadratic equations by factorisation and applying the quadratic formula, along with an introduction to graphical interpretation of quadratics.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 algebra, one student relied on familiar question types and avoided harder problems, so gaps remained in understanding factorisation and when to use specific formulas.

A Year 11 student faced issues with exam prep—"needs more practice doing the practice exams and having a solid set of notes to look back on"—which left him unprepared for linking concepts in probability.

In Year 5 maths, homework was often incomplete, as seen when only one out of five assigned worksheets was attempted; this meant new techniques couldn't be reinforced at home, making later lessons feel repetitive rather than building confidence.

Recent Achievements

One Harrisdale tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to hesitate with algebra now tackling complicated equations by first rearranging them into familiar forms, then solving confidently—something that took real persistence.

Another recent high school session saw a student move from confusion about standard deviation to independently answering several questions in the statistics module, even explaining their reasoning out loud.

Meanwhile, a primary student who once rushed through reading tasks is now pausing to check their answers and willingly asks for clarification when unsure, showing new care and self-awareness in their approach.

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 Amherst Village Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Carey Baptist College.
