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…

The most important things that tutors can do are: 1. Creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment: specifically when students make errors. By supporting them and helping fix their errors, they can learn and build confidence for future questions. 2. Adapt to the student's learning style: each student learns differently (e.g. visual, audio,…

By being patient, encouraging, and consistent, tutors help students feel supported and capable. I also…

Being a tutor, we have to learn to understand a students. No one is similar with each other so we have to understand students at first and learn their learning strategy. What type of environment do they prefer to study and what type of strategy should we have to apply to make them understand. I think I can explain maths in a better way which makes…

I think that it's really important to be a good listener so that you can use feedback from students to improve your teaching. Not everyone learns in the same way so it's really important to work with each student to find the learning tehniques that work best for them. It's also important to recognise that each student could prefer different…

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.
