Tutors in Osborne Park 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.
Although it is highly important that a tutor teaches their students the material covered in the syllabus, it is equally as important that the tutor teaches their students the tools required to succeed in a competitive academic environment. As a tutor, I instil in my students a great work ethic, teaching them highly effective study and time…
For me, the teachers that have had the most impact are the ones that were more of a role model figure rather than an authoritative figure. So i belive being patient with students and allowing them to feel comfortable and learn at their own pace is the best thing a tutor can do for their student. Comprehensive understanding of the subject. I am…
1. Providing a figure of support - It's important that a student feels comfortable asking their tutor questions and knows that they will be taken seriously no matter how simple the question may seem.
2. Encouragement - It's easy for students to lose confidence when they can't understand something, and as a tutor it's important that you can help…
The most important things that a tutor can do for a student are critical thinking, problem solving, clarifying concepts and motivational support I think great subject knowledge, good communication, moral support and goal oriented study are my strengths as a…
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…
To take the time to prepare a lesson suited for the student and take the time to get to know the student and identify his/her strengths in order to capitalize them, and identify his/her weaknesses so that we can work on them. Since I have been a teacher in these subjects, I know which topics most students struggle understanding; and because I am…
A tutor should not spoon feed a student but instead engage them, ask questions to ensure that you check understanding and not also ask the student to explain to you so that you are confident that they understanding. A tutor should also alter examples to check for understanding so that you ensure the student is not following a pattern but actually…
I think the most important thing is to make sure the tutoring sessions are fun and engaging. I want to make students who are not really fond of mathematics, for example, to learns things step by step and gain confidence, which will eventually make them happy in the end and get that satisfaction. Tutors should also be patient when teaching their…
I feel that the most important skills a tutor can develop in a student is their self worth and confidence. Tutors should provide Support, guidance, assistance, raise student confidence and provide a safe environment where the student is able to take risks and experience success.

2. Changing your method of explanation depending on how the student learns ideas.
3. Being able to always be contacted, so the tutor can answer emergency questions, or reschedule an appointment. 1. Good communication skills…
Always encourage them to give it a go, induce them to solve problems in a scientific way, celebrate every little progress with them and help build their academic confidence in the meanwhile. I have relatively high marks in university Maths units and good at solving Maths problems. I have experience working with students of different age. I am…
A tutor can help students how to learn, so that it not only helps them in the teaching period, but also down the line for life. A teacher can and should also build confidence within a student. I am a friend more than a teacher, and I believe that through friendship and respect, one learns most effectively. My strong communication skills stand out,…
Often it is the response from students that they'll never have to remember or use the content they learn again in their life, but that misses the fact that the act of learning these subjects, establishes a new kind of problem solving brain-wiring in your mind. It's not always important what you learn (depending on your career choice) but rather…
I think that it's really important to be a good listener so that you can use feedback from students to improve your teaching.
Not everyone learns in the same way so it's really important to work with each student to find the learning tehniques that work best for them. It's also important to recognise that each student could prefer different…
To help students understand concepts and actually retaining them, not just being able to solve questions for a moment and forgetting it after that. I explain difficult concepts using examples from daily life. This tends to make it far easier for people to accept them more…
I believe encouragement is the most important thing a tutor can do. By focusing on what they have achieved rather then what they haven't, the children can gain a sense of self worth and achievement, making them more likely to want to learn more. By always being there to support them through difficult content, a tutor can develop trust with the…

Since I am a professionally trained coach, I have confidence in teaching and mentoring kids. I am also a very patient person and am always happy to answer any…
I believe that the most important task of a teacher is to stimulate students' interest in knowledge and at the same time to teach them ways to learn and practice on their own. As a teacher, I am a very gentle, patient person. I am good at dismantling knowledge and analysing where problems lie. Then step by step I teach my…
The most important thing a tutor can do is gravitate students toward learning by making them curious. A tutor should try to make learning an activity that students should look forward to.
As tutors it is paramount to make sure that the learnings are not just marks-centric but a means to accomplishing more. Tutoring is skill which requires…
The most important thing overall is that they improve their confidence in their ability through improving their skills in both the topics covered in the curriculum and improving their skill of learning as a whole. My strength is being able to change the method of communicating a topic/ method of teaching based on what each specific child responds…
Putting genuine effort into ensuring a student is engaged with the subject and interested in learning further. I am an extremely patient young man with extensive university level knowledge of the subjects I teach, which I believe will lend to my ability to help your child achieve their…

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
It's all going very well. Billy really likes her and said she is clarifying a lot for him.
I'm conscious that they are rushing through things at school so have told Mithra to take her time and not move on to new areas until she is satisfied he grasps it.
Monique is very happy. In just two lessons, she has found a huge difference. I commend Katy as Monique finds her very knowledgeable, friendly and easy going. I am pleased as I too can see the huge difference in Monique's confidence.
Thank you for recommending Katy, she is a marvel.
All good so far. Lauren has said that she is coping better in Maths at School so that's a good start.
