Software Dev Tutor Palmyra, WA
I think the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is be patient and try to bring themselves to the students own level of understanding of a topic in order to explain in a way that makes sense to the student. I think it's important that the student feels understood and is able to communicate what they don't understand, so that the…

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…

Tutors have two roles, One is to actively support the student who might be struggling to cope up with their peers and/or looking to improve their performance. The second is to make the student learn in a different environment from their school. Schools have multiple children and every child has some issue they are facing. As a tutor sitting 1-1…

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 to teach in a way suited to the student. The content being taught doesn't matter if the student isn't being perceptive to it, so a tutor must find a way to teach that accommodates for a student and how they prefer to learn. I think my greatest strengths are flexibility and knowledge of the subjects. As I…

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.

Regardless of a child's needs, it is important for tutors and teachers to approach each child with empathy, respect, and a willingness to adapt their teaching style to suit the child's individual learning needs. By doing so, they can help every child reach their full potential and succeed in their academic and personal pursuits. Every child is…

I believe providing an environment in which the student is confident and motivated about what they are learning will help them achieve goals.

It is important to teach frameworks and critical thinking rather than boring formulas or random facts. In other words, the goal of any tutor is to teach someone how to fish and never give them fish. I strive to find familiar examples in real life that connect with the concepts we are learning to ease this process. I am able to meet my students…

At the crux of it all, the ultimate goal of tutoring is for the tutor to enable the student to have an easier time grappling with material that they would otherwise struggle with.

Local Reviews

Our daughter Meg has been struggling with multiplication and generally not interested in math at all. Since Angela has been tutoring Meg (for a few weeks now) we have seen a huge improvement in her math. Angela has a very gentle, friendly and patient approach in the way she teaches and puts a lot of thought and effort into her work i.e. she brings along many props. a white board, worksheets and visuals to make it easier for Meg to learn different strategies. Meg thinks she's great and really enjoys her lessons. Meg is also doing much better at school to. Angela is amazing at what she does and we couldn't be happier! We definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a tutor.

Inside PalmyraTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 Abbi focused on factorising and simplifying algebraic expressions, then moved on to solving quadratic equations using methods like completing the square and the quadratic formula.

Year 9 Isabel worked through trigonometry problems and revised for exams by tackling practice questions involving parabolas, simultaneous equations, and rationalising surds.

Meanwhile, Year 4 Jimmy practiced rounding numbers using number lines for visualization, completed long division challenges, and reinforced essay writing skills by drafting structured body paragraphs together.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Methods, Isabel often skipped working steps and rushed through long equations, leading to small errors: "She tends to solve things the 'hard' way without stopping and thinking about the best method." This cost marks in algebra and turning point problems.

For Year 10 Maths, Abbi struggled with worded quadratic questions—she found it difficult to extract key information and convert it into equations, especially after longer breaks from practice.

In Year 5 English, Jimmy's highlighting was unfocused; when asked to find important words in a passage, he highlighted almost everything, making reading slow and overwhelming.

Recent Achievements

One Palmyra tutor noticed Isabel's steady shift towards independence in Year 10 maths: after struggling with worded problems, she recently scored 81% on her exam—up from 60%—and now tackles most application questions solo.

In a recent session, Abbi (Year 11) moved from needing help to solving standard quadratic equations entirely on her own, even showing initiative by attempting harder simultaneous equation tasks without prompting.

Meanwhile, Jimmy (Year 4) made a leap in essay writing; he previously needed step-by-step guidance but managed to complete a full body paragraph himself for the first time.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Natalie is really good and reliable. Cheryl is actually enjoying her tutor lessons with Natalie and looks forward to them. I actually was watching them for a bit during one lesson and I have to say, the way Natalie tutors is quite impressive. I have no negative feedback about her. Really appreciate your help in finding a good tutor for my sister :)

Jacqueline is really enjoying having Denise as her tutor.  She finds Denise's manner and approach to tutoring very good.  Jacqueline said it has made a great difference in her knowledge, understanding and confidence.

Vik is doing very well, my daughter is very happy. She would like to continue with him.

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 AH Bracks Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Richmond Primary School.
