PDHPE Tutor Shelley, WA
Provide the student with confidence in their own learning ability. Helping students find learning methods that work for THEM, which they can continue to use in the future is the most important thing, and also the most satisfying thing for me as tutor. My flexible teaching style means the student quickly feels comfortable and isn't afraid to ask…

PDHPE Tutor Como, WA
I think that this does vary student to student (haha sorry bit of an off question-answer!) But largely and for those that are shy it's being approachable and this means anything the student doesn't understand, the student should be eager to ask you if you are approachable. And for those who aren't so shy and often at a higher level too, my answer…

PDHPE Tutor North Coogee, WA
This is completely dependent on the student. Capable students may just need iteration on why this is important to learn coming from a peer rather than a guardian (something I would have benefited from as a student) to help with motivation. Other students may be motivated but lack someone who can teach in a format that they understand. I believe…

PDHPE Tutor Bateman, WA
The most important things a tutor can do are to provide clarity, encouragement, and individualised support. A tutor should be able to assess a student's strengths and areas for improvement and then tailor their approach accordingly. Building a student's confidence by celebrating their progress, no matter how small, is key to keeping them motivated…

Local Reviews

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.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We are really happy with Vivienne. She is very patient and explains things extremely clearly. Already had a 74% which for a child who is almost maths dialexic this was fabulous. Anyway we are very happy with her Thankyou

Hi Erica, thank you for your email. Things have started well with Jacob and hopefully they will continue in the same way. I think in this case, the difference for Jamie is that she can ask Jacob about a problem that she is struggling with and he can answer her straight away. Vivian was able to answer her too but it took her longer and I think the time factor was what was frustrating Jamie. As I'm sure you are aware in year 12 there is such a time crunch that any delays just add more pressure.

Hi Erica Thanks for the email. Yes, everything is going very well. Daniel is finding Yuta to be very helpful and has definitely been able to identify areas of weakness that require work. We are all very pleased with the progress to date.

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.
