I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is creating an environment and relationship where the student understands and feels comfortable knowing that it is okay not to understand something and it is ok to ask for, or need help. I believe that still being a student myself allows me to relate to students and the frustrations…

I have the ability to trust my students to try and discern the answer to a question for themselves before needing my help. I also think I’m good at discovering fundamental misunderstandings students may have with…

To me, the two most important things a tutor can do for a student are: 1. Providing a student with a strong base understanding of a topic so that they can succeed in learning while at school (e.g. contributing well to class discussions). 2. Helping a student refine and better understand what they were taught in class. I think I have a strong…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is help the student truly understand the material and build confidence. When a student feels comfortable making mistakes and asking questions, real learning happens. Encouraging confidence is just as important as teaching the content. My strengths are patience, clarity, adaptability, and the ability…

I strongly believe that two things are the most important in a tutor: perspective and engagement. Perspective due to how different minds work at understanding, and how no approach fits all students. Engagement to engage their problem solving skills, to ensure that the key is understanding and refrain from relying on memory. As I find the…

My teachers have been my second parents. Few of my school teachers are still in touch with me and we are like a family now. Throughout my education, I realised the importance of a good tutor.

The most important thing a tutor can do is identify where a student may be missing a piece of information or has skipped a step of understanding, which is blocking further academic progress.

I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do is to help students help themselves, or to assist or guide them so that they become independent learners. For this, tutors should have a positive outlook by believing that things can be changed through action. They should also have the desire to help others by showing comprehension, empathy,…

A successful tutuor does more than merely help a student to raise their grade. In my opinion, a tutor should make an impression on a student.

The most important things is to find their strengths and weaknesses so that they can improve faster and be more confident in their studies.

Inside HighgateTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Endri focused on algebraic simultaneous equations and prime factorisation, also building understanding of mathematical functions through worked examples.

In Year 10, Alex practised right-angled trigonometry and projectile motion concepts, using diagrams to connect theory with real-world scenarios.

For a senior student in Year 12, sessions covered the principles of redox reactions and chemical equilibria, tackling past exam papers for applied practice.

Recent Challenges

A Year 7 student struggled with basic mathematical manipulations; as a tutor put it, "a reality check to realise what is needed to do better in math is required," as inconsistent foundational skills left them unprepared for exams.

In Year 10 Physics, difficulty visualising perpendicular distances and distinguishing between rotational and translational equilibrium led to confusion during problem-solving—skipped steps often masked misunderstandings.

For a senior student (Year 12), not carefully reading exam questions resulted in missed marks; "carelessness shoots through the roof when tired," one note observed.

The immediate result: lost confidence after setbacks, especially when feedback wasn't fully addressed before moving on.

Recent Achievements

A Highgate tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student who used to stay quiet during lessons now regularly asks for clarification when confused, instead of guessing and moving on.

In a recent session with a Year 9 student, the tutor observed that she's started taking structured notes without prompting—something she'd previously avoided—which is helping her organise her thoughts more clearly in class.

Meanwhile, a younger student in Year 4 has begun tackling word problems independently after initially relying heavily on hints; last week, he completed an entire worksheet on his own for the first time.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Connor was great and has put Indigo on a great pathway for working independently with her maths.

Kerry helped Ella with her confidence and she did really well with her math test. Her scores have been going up.

Jaz and Emily seem to be connecting well and we are happy with how things are progressing to date.

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 City of Perth Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Highgate Primary School.
