Firstly a tutor must be able to provide clear and concise explanations of concepts and have a solid understanding of the subject matter. Secondly, tutors need to be able to use a personalized approach of teaching for different students to better help match and pace the student's learning style, speed, strengths and weaknesses e.g. Effective…

I think a tutor can really make students think and make them understand concepts rather than just memorising theory. We can also build a trust and make them more confident in themselves. It is a tutor’s job to make the students think and inculcate the habit of consistently. I feel like i can understand people well. I am a very approachable…

I believe that a teacher is a guide who teaches the student what direction to look in. The student is the one who chooses what to look at. A tutor should not simply hand out solutions to a problem that the student faces trouble with. They should guide the student to think in a certain way that will not only help them come up with the solution…

In a lot of cases, students have to get a tutor because they are struggling in school. So, from the outset, students may already be feeling some frustration about their classes. On top of that they have to do extra tutoring lessons, which I imagine, they are not exactly looking forward to. I think the best thing a tutor can do is to relieve this…

Tutors fill a different role than teachers and parents, and that puts them in a unique position to support students. Personal relationships are foundational to student success - the more connected a student feels to his or her tutor, the more the tutor creates trust and respect, essential ingredients for students to learn well. When a tutor…

Being able to adapt to a student's needs. Not everyone can grasp concepts when they are explained the first time so it's important to be flexible and apply different learning styles. Another thing a tutor can do is to engage with the parents and provide feedback on the student's performance. This also allows one to gather feedback from the parents…

Impact The impact that a tutor can have on a student should not be understated. You could be the reason a student develops a greater sense of purpose or self-esteem at school.

Listen and teach. I think it is so important for students to be listened to and helped accordingly. They must be given the space to work through problems they are facing themselves so that they can believe in their own abilities and increase their own self-efficacy. It is vital that the student can not only regurgitate an answer or process but…

Inside PerthTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Coen worked on calculating the area of composite figures, including sectors of circles and shapes with pieces removed, and practiced deriving and using formulas for circle areas.

In Year 10, Maya focused on matrix operations such as adding, subtracting, and scaling matrices, along with applying these to solve ticket price problems; she also tackled financial calculations involving commissions and profit/loss scenarios.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Yuri explored probability using Venn diagrams and two-way tables to express intersection, union, and conditional probabilities (P(A|B)), then applied these concepts to real-world word problems from his textbook.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student hesitated to ask her teacher for clarification outside class, leading to lingering confusion in setting up profit and stock word problems—"she was not shy about asking me, but is reticent with her teacher."

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student struggled to organize class notes into clear sections, making it harder to quickly locate formulas during revision.

In Year 7 maths, one student's tendency to solve equations entirely in his head meant crucial steps were missed on paper; errors crept in that could have been caught by writing down the process. This left him reworking problems instead of moving forward.

Recent Achievements

One Perth tutor recently noticed Maya, a Year 11 student, making a significant shift—she now methodically checks her answers and annotates her note paper with new formulas during financial maths problems, rather than rushing through calculations as she did previously.

In Year 9, Samara has started to openly question unclear concepts in lessons about piecewise graphs, moving from silent confusion to asking for clarification until things click.

Meanwhile, Freyr in Year 3 picked up three-digit addition with regrouping much faster than before and now infers answers in reading comprehension by scanning questions first.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Daniel as a tutor is a very good fit (perfect) for Sid! We are quite happy with the way things are progressing so far & happy to continue.

Just wanted to let you know that my daughter just finished her first tutoring session with Derek and he was fantastic! Thank you so much for connecting us with him, things are looking up already.

Jessica has been great, she has helped Ben quite a bit already and identified problems and strengths.  She is punctual and diligent.

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 City of Perth Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St George's Anglican Grammar School.
