Tutors in Murdoch include high-achieving graduates, experienced teachers, subject specialists, and passionate mentors from top Australian universities. Many have received academic awards or hold advanced degrees, and all share a genuine commitment to helping students succeed.
I know what its like to feel lost and anxious about academics. I have been demoted to the bottom class, twice in my school years and it would be selfish of me not to share how I overcame my own insecurities with others on a similar path. Patience, I don't like to rush things, everything needs its time grow and bear fruit.
Communication, I speak…
The most important thing a chemistry tutor can do is to equip the student with the skills to find answers and explore the subject on their own. Whenever my students ask me questions outside of the syllabus, I involve them in the process of looking up papers and interpreting scientific language. I am able to come up with analogies to help students…
In my opinion, patience is the most important. Tutor is different from a teacher because as a chemistry tutor, it allows us more time to explain, and allows students more time to ask. Only if I show patience, my students are not afraid to keep asking. I think this is the whole point of tutoring. I grow up in an asian city so I had a lot of…

As a student myself, I understand why students find some maths or chemistry concepts very difficult and many of them struggled when faced with homework or exam problems related to it.
I believe this is due to the lack of proper explanation of the fundamental theory behind those problems since teachers in school do not have enough time to commit…
Offer them support beyond the purely academic. Be there when they struggle to understand something and be kind, patient and understanding. I have great patience when it comes to someone who doesn't understand, and I can alter my explanation readily if my current way is not…
Throughout my education, I liked those teachers who would inspire me to solve the problem by myself rather than giving the information directly. For me, the most important thing is the ability to solve a problem using the right methods. To tutor is to guide them to the right direction and help students avoid the common mistakes. I have excellent…

Teach the child to learn not to memorise Ability to connect with the student
Ability to explain complex things
Determined and committed to helping the student
I have a lot of…
I think the most important thing is for the student to truly understand what hes actually doing in the subject. Not just use the equations to solve test problems but to actually comprehend and appreciate the beautiful math and chemistry they're performing. Because I'm multilingual, fluent in Indonesian, English, Taiwanese, and Mandarin I can…
I believe in keeping students motivated and providing positive reinforcement so as to instill confidence in them, helping them see that they can improve with effort! I am a very patient tutor who can engage uninterested students, bridging their knowledge gaps and helping them improve on their subjects. I also have sufficient experience in holding…
To help them to be more confident about themselves, and believe in themselves that they can do very well in the subject. By teaching them in the easy way that they can handle and make them feel successful with their learning. I have a very good habit as both teacher and mentor, which to make sequence of the learning as simple as possible. I…
The most important thing to do as a chemistry tutor is to ensure your students are comfortable with you teaching them. Being able to cater to each student and getting to know them to ensure that you can adapt your teaching methods to be suite them. I am a very patient person and always do my best to explain concepts in a way people can understand…
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…
A tutor should provide what a teacher can't. There is a reason that students seek tutoring, and it is therefore a chemistry tutor's role to meet their needs.
I believe patience is the most important thing. Not everyone thinks the same, and its important for a tutor to understand this, and to move at a pace that suits the student, whilst also…
- Improve the grades to increase the student's motivation in the subject
- Improve the understanding of the subject by using different teaching methods
- Evaluate the weakness and teach the right basics in order to learn more complex topics - Recognising the weakness of a student
- Passionate about Maths and strong grasp in Maths skills by…
A tutor can build a child's confidence, boost them to achieve higher. Help them to ask questions because they will learn from that. Furthermore if it is hard for a student to understand something, a chemistry tutor should try a different approach so that the student understands better. The tutor should come up with new learning strategies. As a…
A tutor should provide a student with additional resources; have a positive, encouraging attitude and make sure to be understanding of the student's needs. The tutor should also be able to lift the student's confidence, as sometimes this can make all the difference. I am a patient, reliable, organised individual and I am willing to help students,…
I teach students to learn not only new things, but also how to learn.
The tutors should help students feel more confident and engaged in their studies. I am a strict and patient tutor and teacher.
I have ten years of experience in the education sector.
I can also teach English to new immigrant families (e.g., children and adults from China).
I…
I believe understanding the calibre of the student and providing constant motivation is something a chemistry tutor must importantly do for a student because quite often the individuality of a student gets lost in class and so the tutor needs to grab onto that individuality of the student so that they can not just progress ahead academically but…
One of the most important things a chemistry tutor can do for a student is provide a structured learning environment. Often, the biggest source of exam-related stress is feeling overwhelmed by the amount of material and not seeing the connections between topics. A tutor should help students make sense of this by summarizing key concepts and…
The most important thing a chemistry tutor can do for a student is constantly support them and provide them with positive reinforcement because if they are to lose motivation then they will not fully apply themselves and strive to learn more. So I believe that even for minor achievements students must be congratulated and encouraged to further…
In primary, tutoring often targets core arithmetic—addition, subtraction, times tables, fractions, and building number sense—while also pushing for deeper comprehension, not just rote rules. High school sessions shift to algebraic thinking, graphing, interpreting questions, and developing strong exam strategies. There’s a big emphasis on breaking down word problems, revisiting tricky homework, and test prep for NAPLAN or semester exams, always tailored to what each student finds hardest right now.
Recent Challenges
Some primary students rush through comprehension or maths tasks without fully reading instructions, leading to incomplete or off-target answers. In high school, it’s common for students to have scattered or unclear working, which makes multi-step problems harder to check and fix. Other frequent hurdles include forgetting materials, leaving homework unfinished, or spending revision time catching up on missed basics instead of moving forward—all of which can hold back progress and lead to confusion.
Recent Achievements
Tutors are noticing students becoming more proactive during lessons—regularly checking their own work, spotting errors, and making corrections without being asked. There’s a clear shift toward students verbalising their steps in maths and explaining their reasoning aloud, rather than rushing through problems. Tutors also report that learners are reviewing their test results with more care and taking the initiative to improve, showing greater confidence and ownership of their progress.
What they say about our tutoring
I have spoken with Cate who is finding Nikhil's explanation of maths concepts very helpful.
We could not be happier with Mandar he is very pleasant to deal with, always on time and very good with the Khai, Piper and Chase.
Connor was great and has put Indigo on a great pathway for working independently with her maths.
