Tutors in Pagewood 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 value instilling confidence in my students. The best way for them to learn is to make mistakes - but they have to the confidence to make those mistakes in the first place. I am compassionate, patient, and empathetic, willing to adapt to students' needs by changing my teaching style as needed. I use my personal experiences of high school to…
A tutor can provide many important services for a student, such as providing guidance and support, helping with understanding complex concepts, providing feedback and resources, and offering regular check-ins. Tutors can also help students develop a deeper understanding of material and help them become more confident in their abilities. I believe…
The most important things a biology tutor can do for a student is to build confidence and self-esteem. Often, people feel discouraged or left out when unable to keep up with their class. They become withdrawn and tend not to believe in their capabilities. By teaching a student challenging topics, I am simultaneously quelling all notions of…
A tutor should be well-prepared in ensuring students completely comprehend subject that is being taught. A tutor should be prepared to answer all sorts of question asked by the students. An excellent tutor should be genuinely interested in the students understanding. He/she should not be afraid to acknowledge anything they do not know. Instead,…

The most important thing would be to instill interest. To be called a succesfull tutor, one need to instill interest to their students to study during their own time, because we only meet them once or twice a week and most of the time they have to learn by themselves. My strenghs would be my perseverance and open mindedness in teaching. Each…
A tutor should be very open and harvest patience while educating his/her students. Mutual respect is a must too! I go to the roots of fundamentals and explain the easiest way possible so that students remember it for…
One of the most important things a biology tutor can do for a student to help them learn is to make the subject/topic approachable. From personal experience learning in the past, even the subtlest differences in teaching methods greatly affect a student's interest and capacity to learn. As such I believe a tutor should try their best to make the…
I believe it is paramount that a biology tutor communicates with the student, and understands what they find challenging and what they are seeking help for. It is through this communication that a tutor may effectively guide the student to achieve their educational goals and aspirations. I believe that my ability to communicate to students in a…
Any tutor needs to know that learning can't be forced. What's important is for us to help them to ignite the flames of passion to learn a subject through a fun and interactive session. Which ultimately, helps them to better understand everyday life by applying what they learned. Like how everything can be formulated into equations and how food…
One of the most important things a biology tutor can do for a student is to build their confidence in their subjects. By clarifying and helping them practice concepts that they have learnt at school, taking tutoring lessons builds their confidence in answering questions in school and during exams. A tutor should also be a mentor to their students,…
I think the most important thing I can do for my students is to help them achieve their goals or improve their grades by understanding what they understand from the content. Most of the time when Im tutoring, I allow my students to engage with the subject and try to explain what they're doing and giving them more confidence to try, make errors and…
I believe a biology tutor can ignite and enhance confidence in their students, giving the students the opportunity to take part in class discussions building up a healthy mindset that inspires them to overcome their weaknesses and strive towards improvement and their goals. I believe one of my strengths as a tutor is being an active listener which…
I believe in teaching the students skills more than information. The saying goes, if you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime, which is very close to my heart. I want my students to understand the problem and critically think about solutions rather than trying to copy-paste from memory.…
The most important thing a biology tutor can do for a student is allow them to understand things on their own rather than allowing them to memorize things because it stays in their head longer when they can understand by themselves. My strengths would be that I allow students to let me know any time when they do not understand something.
I do…

Listening: I listen attentively to my students to understand where and what they need help…
I believe a biology tutor has to make sure that students fully understand the material they are learning so that they can apply what they learn and ultimately be able to do the more difficult questions by themselves. With constant practice and drilling, students will be more comfortable doing the questions themselves and be confident in the…
1. Teaching engagingly and interestingly: the student should not feel like it is just another class at school, but provide an opportunity for him/her to engage and deliver content in a manner which piques his/her interest.
2. Providing clear explanations: complex content should be broken down and taught according to the student's knowledge level…
I think the most important role a biology tutor has for their students is to provide them with confidence, being able to walk into an exam room confident in your abilities and knowledge is one of the biggest challenges. By helping students be confident it will not only immensely help them in exam rooms, but help them pave a pathway for themselves…
The most important things a biology tutor can do for a student, in my opinion, are not only concrete plans and a sufficient level of knowledge, but also empathy to understand what the student needs and their natural ability. A tutor, in my opinion, is not someone who places a high level of math practise in the hands of an art student who dislikes…
Help the student in any thing that bothers them by being a friend to them first, be it studies or something else My tendency of making study material simpler for students to interpret and converting a normal classroom into a room of…
To me, a biology tutor must be able to effectively communicate ideas to students in a manner that allows them to understand the concept. Understanding of more conceptually difficult topics is a difficulty every student faces and is ultimately the barrier against marks. Being able to really connect with a student and portray the idea at hand in a…
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
All is progressing fine at present and we are happy with Raymond's tutoring. Â Patrick has warmed to him also and we see him asking a lot more questions than he would ask normally.
We are very happy with Phanidah, he is very nice and patient and seems to teach Emily effectively. Emily likes him and already seems to have a more positive outlook with her maths. We are happy overall that the one-on-one tutoring allows Emily to relax about 'not knowing it'Âť so she can truly go back to basics with Phanidah and build slowly from there.
Ashleigh is really enjoying the help Sunny is giving her & is starting to feel more confident within herself. Apparently even her teacher has remarked on her improvement. Ashleigh is keen to continue tutoring for the rest of the year. Sunny is a great tutor & matched perfectly with Ashleigh.
