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.
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student, in my opinion, is not only understanding the students well, but also knowing how much the student knows, and being able to convey lessons well. Patience and perseverance with students. Ability to understand the needs of different types of students and handle them…
In my opinion, a tutor has to be able to communicate effectively with a student. There is a clear difference between having knowledge and actually being able to teach a particular field of study. It is absolutely vital that a tutor speaks to a student in a way that is easily understood by the student but at the same time also engaging. This way of…
Know the subject, be able to communicate the subject, encourage and support the student, engage with the student. I have a significant understanding of the content, both in the conceptual and examinable sense. I focus on providing insight on the mechanisms behind problems encountered and then work on encouraging independence in the area so that…
Make sure the pace of the lesson is not too fast or too slow for the student. Keep an open dialogue so students are comfortable with voicing concerns and questions. I can explain new concepts easily and quickly, and I know what concepts are hardest and most likely to come up in exams, and common…
A tutor has to be able to accomodate to each students need individually. It's important to understand the needs and habits of each student as each person learns uniquely. This, in turn, provides them with the best possible learning experience which maximises potential and results. - Good Communicator

To boost confidence and motivation. I believe that you cannot force a student to learn, but you can guide them to do their best. If the student does not wish to learn, there is not much I can do to improve their grades. But, if the students are highly motivated and willing to learn, even if their grades are below average, they can rapidly improve…
A tutor can create a positive learning environment as being supportive, encouraging etc. He can understand the strength and weekness of a student and work on them. He should be able to provide explanation to the concepts. Moreover, a tutor should provide constructive and specific feedback to the students so that they can improve their…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is be flexible with teaching methods as every student is learns differently from different methods and at different speeds. I am comfortable and experienced with working privately with students of all age ranges including younger children. When students don’t understand concepts…
The most important thing is to motivate to them so that they want to learn, instead of thinking that studying is just for the sake of having good results in school. This will help in the long run, as one should never stop learning. I am able to guide my students by having different ways of explaining things if they don't understand at first and to…
A tutor can teach make study very interseting. A tutor is not just a teacher but is also a guide who can gudie th student in right direction. If a student knows and understands what is he studying, he can achieve excellent results and all this is the responsibility of the tutor. I have good knowledge of the subject. I tend to get along with…
Offer advice from personal experience. Tutors who have been through the same schooling system can guide students in the best way to approach material, and how best to prepare for assessment. Also, tutors can provide students with alternative approaches to difficult material other than what is given by the student's regular schoolteacher. I have a…
The sole priority of the tutor is to do anything they can to continually further the skills and success of their student.
However this has to be achieved in a reasonable way. Every student has a different learning style and a different ability level. I am able to adapt the way I tutor to suit these different styles and ensure the proper…
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
Deepti has been tutoring my son in Year 7. Deepti has developed an amazing rapport with my son and has inspired him emensely. His maths results for algebra have improved out of sight since having Deepti tutor him. Deepti is able to engage him and explain the rules and concepts and reinforce them through practice. Having been a teacher myself, I am very impressed with Deepti's skills and this has been reflected in my son's results. In addition his keenness in maths since having Deepti as his tutor is very impressive.
We are very pleased with the way Lucas is changing his approach to Math and Myunggwan has definitely had lots to do with it.
Pat is fantastic !!! Very respectful, conscientious young man and a very good teacher.
