The most important thing that can be done is to give as many resources as necessary. I say this because of all the tutors I have had, the most helpful was the one that gave me access to endless resources which constantly had me practicing my content which greatly assisted me in realising my weaknesses. Another important factor would be to be as…

I think it is important to teach the fundamentals so that students have a clear understanding of the basic concepts. I believe it is also important to clearly communicate ideas so that they can then communicate them clearly themselves. Moreover, it is crucial to encourage students to think critically by giving them the opportunity to independently…

Always be on the same wavelength with your students. If they're comfortable around you, Maths will easily find the path to their hearts. Make compliments and specify their strong points, pay attention to their success - that is how we learn and stay in a good mood at the same time. As I already have a significant experience working as online tutor…

I think tutor should do everything for his or her students because after the parents only teacher is one person who can very closed for the student. Tutor should look after their students and if they have any bad habit then it's tutor responsibility to guide them in right direction and also inform their parents. Tutor can make hard subject into…

I think tutors should think from the student's perspective. Also should try to understand the level of students by talking to them. If someone is not good at the base, can start from there and make them feel good and that will help the learning process. As a tutor, I can listen to the student carefully, understand them and can identify the area…

I believe that a tutor should be able to help students learn, improve and grow in their areas of uncertainty. Not only should a tutor be consolidating or getting a student to understand a new topic, but also have the ability to help them seek out the joy in learning. I am patient, encouraging and knowledgeable in a range of areas and topics. with…

More important than anything else, an effective tutor must be able to meet the student at their level, whether that is their level of understanding or lack thereof of a given topic, or even going the extra mile and addressing external circumstances they face that affect their academic performance.

Motivate / Inspire - Without motivation, even brilliant students don't succeed. I was always a bright student but I was never motivated to do more until I met this chemistry teacher in my 11th grade.

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…

If tutor is teaching students, first of all, students should not feel bored.

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.

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.
