English Tutor Mount Helena, WA
I think that the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to give their best effort to explain the subject while still letting the student have a chance at engaging with the subejct matter. This is because students in my opinion tend to learn better from the encouragement that they recieve upon engagement to the material. I…

English Tutor Mount Helena, WA
I think it is important for an english tutor to act as a guide for a students learning, supporting them to develop tools and skills that work best for them and can be replicated in the classroom. Throughout my own school experience, I often had to approach tasks in different ways to what was standard or expected. I believe this reflects in my…

English 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. I describe…

I consider making the student comfortable and confident the most important thing. If the student is neither of these, they aren’t going to want to learn My strengths are definitely math. I was academic though high school but chose not to proceed into…

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

Sarah is finding the tutoring with Shabana very helpful. Sarah has has three tutoring sessions and Shabana has been explaining concepts or questions which Sarah found confusing. I really like the way Shabana interacts with Sarah and how she keeps reminding her about the importance of practising.

I am very pleased to provide feedback. Matthew has been outstanding, polite, punctual and an excellent tutor. He is an asset to your business and please pass on our commendation.

We have had a few lessons with Deanna and She seems to be very enthusiastic and keen to teach Catherine.

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.
