I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is be flexible with teaching methods as every student is learns differently from different methods and at different speeds. I am comfortable and experienced with working privately with students of all age ranges including younger children. When students don’t understand concepts…

I think being able to communicate effectively is very important for a tutor.He/she should be able to put himself in the student's shoes. And accordingly elucidate concepts. Every student has his own strengths and weakness in a subject. The tutor should be able to identify these. Apart from this, a tutor should have very strong basics.Only if…

A good tutor should be able to explain difficult concepts in a way that the student can understand. This involves breaking down complex ideas into simpler terms, providing examples, and encouraging questions. A tutor should create a supportive environment where the student feels comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. Overall, the most…

Engineering Studies Tutor Wembley Downs, WA
I think that the most important thing a tutor can do is to adapt their teaching style to fit with the individual learning style of each student. Whether that be taking more time and working through it with them, or giving them more challenging tasks and letting them complete it on their own. Have completed 3 years of engineering at UWA, and have a…

As clichĂ© as it sounds, I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to not give up on the student. Patience and persistence is key to finding what allows a student to succeed. Likewise, being able to adapt is very important to a tutor. Knowing how to change the way you teach a student can be very valuable for their…

I think the most important thing is to be simple - not confuse the child with an overwhelming amount of information but rather take things slowly and ask directed questions to take them to each step of the answer.

A tutor is more than just a tutor. The role of tutor is more like a coach or confidant. Students should feel free enough to discuss anything that came up during their day at school. Together both student and tutor can figure out how best to proceed. A coach in the sense that you help guide them towards habits that will help them become better…

Sleesha is always well prepared and punctual, she has helped my year 9 student a lot with getting a better understanding of the subject matter. We're very happy with her.

Inside HerdsmanTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Ava worked on multiplying and dividing fractions, along with strategies for solving worded problems involving measurement.

In Year 8, Ethan focused on simplifying algebraic expressions and expanded brackets using step-by-step written methods.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Lily explored trigonometry basics and practiced applying sine and cosine rules to solve right-angled triangle questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student's algebra progress was slowed by inconsistent homework completion—"failed to complete all homework questions," one note recorded.

In Year 10, careless handling of negative signs in calculations led to repeated errors; as observed, "details, careless mistakes" meant that time was spent fixing issues rather than moving forward with new concepts.

For a Year 7 student working on linear graphs, unclear written work and skipping question details made extracting the required information difficult, which disrupted understanding.

Meanwhile, in upper primary maths, forgotten multiplication tables left one student hunting for answers instead of building fluency.

Recent Achievements

One Herdsman tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to skip steps now carefully reads each question before starting calculations, leading to fewer careless mistakes in statistics problems.

In Year 8, another student has started bringing completed homework every session and recently tackled balancing equations without prompting—she'd previously needed reminders just to start.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who struggled with her 8 and 9 times tables last term can now recall them quickly and managed all the related questions without any hesitation during the lesson.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I would like to inform you that Paul did his last session with Vik on Sunday 11.Nov 2012. I have to mention that he did a fantastic job of teaching Vik the two subjects maths & physics, and also helping him understand how VCE works. Thank You for keeping me well informed about my son's progress. I would have no hesitation to recommend you & Paul to any of my friends or anyone who needs help from a tutor. Wishing you all the best in the future.

We are very pleased with the program to date. Stephen is a very nice young man and a good tutor. David our son enjoys his teaching style and tutoring.

I was very happy with James' tutoring. Warren was a great tutor for James and as I mentioned on the phone,I wish we had found him sooner. In the short time that James did have his tutoring, I did notice he has become more confident and independent with his maths. Although he is still not a straight A student, he did show some improvement.

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 Cambridge Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Chrysalis Montessori School.
