Biology Tutor Stoneville, WA
Tutors work with students to guide their learning process, by personalising the content delivery in a way the child is able to respond to. This also incorporates the ability to motivate the child to learn, to believe in their own abilities and to strive to keeping persevering. I believe I have the necessary strength simply to push.

The process has been quite simple. Even when I requested a different tutor. Vivek is amazing

Inside Mount HelenaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Oliver focused on mean, median, and range, exploring how to calculate each for given data sets.

Year 8 student Ava worked through simplifying algebraic expressions with polynomials and tackled factoring using distributive property methods.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Emily practiced multiplying and dividing fractions and reviewed NAPLAN writing skills by planning out structured responses.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 English, one student did not complete assigned homework and relied on the tutor to write answers during essay planning; as noted, "she continues to find excuses on not writing herself."

In a senior maths session, incomplete MathSpace tasks limited algebra practice, and in another high school lesson, frequent distractions on a laptop prevented full participation.

A Year 4 student was visibly discouraged by mistakes during spelling tests and shut down despite encouragement.

In middle years maths, forgetting to bring equipment (like calculators or rulers) meant extra time spent getting organised instead of practicing new skills.

Recent Achievements

One Mount Helena tutor noticed a real shift in Ava, a high school student who used to avoid negative numbers and would disengage from lessons—now she confidently solves equations involving both positive and negative numbers without hesitation.

In another session, Luana (Year 9) initially struggled to identify different angles by name but, after using visual aids and guided practice, began answering correctly on her own.

Meanwhile, Addison (Year 5) showed a new level of independence by completing all tasks independently for equivalent fractions using diagrams—even when the times tables were mixed up—and only asked for help when truly stuck.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Sophie is very happy with Jane as a tutor.  Jane is extremely diligent - we have the complication of the UK syllabi and Jane has taken a lot of trouble in her own time, to check up on what Sophie should be learning !

Hello and thank you for your email. We are happy with Philip's progress in these few weeks as you suggest I am sure more time is needed for him to be more confident . We are also happy with his tutor he is very well spoken, polite and gets on well with my son so far.

Thanks Gene, so far, Jamie's response has been very good.  He has had 2 lessons to date, as last week was cancelled at our request (he was away on camp). Jamie has responded very well to Eshan, who's approach is unassuming, gentle, but persuasive and constructive.  Jamie actually looks forward to spending time with Eshan to teach him his Maths strategies. We look forward to seeing Eshan again next week. Thanks also for the newsletter.  I have to say that I think your supportive written material is very useful!

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 Mundaring Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mount Helena Primary School.
