English Tutor Bateman, WA
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…

I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do is care and be dedicated. I think you have to really care about the student doing well rather than just focusing on the payment, a tutor should also be dedicated to the student so that they get the best service and help possible. I believe my patience and persistence are strong strengths,…

I think to be able to cater to each sutdent individually is the most important thing a tutor can do. Each student learns and processes information differently. By understanding this the tutor can adapt their teaching style to suit that of the student. I think my experience in my job and as a student now studying teaching, I have the skills to be a…

First and foremost it would be building a strong rapport with the student and gaining mutual trust and respect. This builds a foundation of confidence and comfort which optimises a students ability to learn and their attitude towards learning. Tutors should be adaptable and be able to target the teaching to each students unique way of learning. …

A tutor does not just teach a student a particular subject. I believe that the most important function of a tutor is to foster overall academic confidence in a student and to develop better study techniques/learning habits more generally. A good tutor can give a student motivation and techniques to achieve not only in the tutored subject, but in…

I think that, as I said earlier, building confidence is an important thing, so that students can be self-sufficient. I also think that when they take pride in their work, they can achieve beyond their own expectations. I have a lot of experience in coaching children in soccer (aged 2-12) and I also have two sisters aged 7 and 17. I think that…

The most important thing is to build confidence of the student in their learning, and making them believe that they can do it without giving them pressure or distinguishing one from another for their abilities. It is also important for the tutor to create a comfortable learning environment where they don’t feel embarrassed making mistakes but…

As stated in the previous section, I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to listen. Although we are there to direct their study, there are a range of other things a student may face in their life. I'm not there just as an academic instructor, I also want to be able to relate to the person in front of me and assist them…

Teach a concept, ensure the student can understand it, and eventually get to the point where they can apply that concept to a question, without any help. As a tutor, I also have a duty of care to ensure a student can manage their workload, rather than worrying 24/7. My strengths as a tutor are my communication/people skills, my knowledge in the…

A tutor's primary aim is to instill confidence in the student. Students seek tutors for a variety of reasons. Maybe the student is struggling and needs someone to explain things more clearly. A wise and patient tutor will do that, and the student will feel more confident; that they can do it! Some students come to tutoring with no real problems,…

Putting down your ego, communicate and being there for them is definitely the top priority. They will obviously get discouraged at times when they don't get the answers.

For me, the two things that aided me most when I was being tutored in highschool were practice questions given to me by tutors and when these tutors took their time to really deconstruct these concepts until I fully understood them. My biggest strength is patience. Sometimes it takes students a long time to begin to understand certain concepts and…

I believe explaining a concept in such a way that the student understands it intuitively and can thus use that understanding to solve different problems, rather than simply rote-learning a series of facts, is an incredibly important part of being a tutor. The tutor should be adding to a student's toolkit such that they can solve a variety of…

I would say the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is helping them grow as individuals, and help them find a love for learning - a strong passion for the academic studies.

Karmel is fantastic. My daughter has responded really well in only the first few weeks. He is very patient and explains things at a level that she can understand. Her teacher has also noticed an improvement. She also likes him and doesn't protest when it comes to extra maths after school!

Inside O'ConnorTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Jimmy worked on rounding numbers using number lines and practiced long division with multi-digit numbers, reinforcing understanding through worksheets and visual aids.

Year 9 student Abbi focused on solving quadratic equations using the quadratic formula and tackled challenging problems involving surds and fractional indices.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Isabel revised trigonometry concepts, including perpendicular and parallel lines, and strengthened her grasp of simultaneous equations by completing exam-style practice questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 5 English, one student highlighted almost every word in a comprehension passage, making it hard to focus on key information—"he took considerable time to read because he highlighted almost every word."

In Year 7–8 Maths, repeated reminders were needed for one student to write down full working for multiplication and not just the answer; feedback on this was often overlooked.

A Year 10 student didn't review notes before lessons, which meant valuable lesson time was spent repeating prior material rather than progressing.

Meanwhile, a senior student struggled with organizing files and notes efficiently, slowing revision for tests.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in O'Connor noticed that Jimmy, who previously found rounding quite confusing, managed to complete a worksheet on his own this week and now applies the concept independently—just last session he needed step-by-step guidance.

In Year 10, Isabel made a significant leap in her recent maths exam, moving from 60% to 81%, especially impressing with her ability to tackle complex worded problems after initially struggling with them.

Abbi, working on quadratic equations in high school, went from needing frequent reminders to now solving standard quadratics quickly and without any help.

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 Willagee Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Caralee Community School.
