Fundamentally, a physics tutor must be able to pass on their knowledge to students such that they can progress academically. This should be accompanied by helping and testing the students where necessary. I prefer to break down complex concepts into smaller ideas, which can then be used as a foundation for understanding and applying the actual…

I think the most important thing a physics tutor can do for a student is to explain it so they understand what you're saying, and then give them time to figure it out on their own with out being given the answer, and without time constraints. I also think that making them feel comfortable to ask for help is very important, because if they don't…

Just be friendly with students and study is not a burden it’s just a fun. Encourage students to achieve more in a simplest and proper way. I am an optimist. I teach with easy and more simplest ways so that each student can grab knowledge as much as they can. I am friendly with a lot of skills. So along with study I can make students to learn…

I am happy with Angad's tutoring, and Jacinta feels he is helping her.

Inside Port KennedyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Emily focused on expanding and factorising algebraic expressions as well as reviewing her mistakes from a previous algebra test, with extra practice to prepare for a resit.

In Year 9, Josh worked through linear equations in rational form and revised fractions, using targeted homework review and more challenging examples to deepen understanding.

For Year 11, Milan revisited trigonometry concepts from Years 9 and 10—including SOHCAHTOA—while awaiting their Math Applications textbook, ensuring key skills were up to date.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student often hesitated to write out full steps in rearranging formulas (like IPRT problems), risking lost marks—"very important to write down each step when solving maths problems to avoid losing marks in assessment."

Meanwhile, a Year 9 student relied on calculators for basic operations instead of practicing mental strategies, slowing progress in non-calculator sections.

In Year 6, anxiety during multi-step algebra led one student to freeze mid-question; after a break and discussion, she finished the problem but left unsure about coping next time.

A Year 4 learner's messy layout made it hard to track working, especially with fractions and times tables.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Port Kennedy recently noticed a Year 11 student who previously relied heavily on reminders for key rules began solving simple interest problems more independently, even tackling percentage questions without hesitation.

In Year 9 English, another student moved from struggling to identify visual symbolism to confidently providing examples and explaining their analysis of both images and text, all without prompts.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who often skipped long addition now consistently attempts every problem using new strategies discussed in lessons. Last session, he chose to solve an extra question on his own initiative.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thank you for the follow up. Sinan is working out fine. He has connected with Matthew well. Matthew has indicated that Sinan is explaining some of the mathematical concepts better than what his teacher is explaining, which is a good start. Hopefully this will translate into a better maths grade.

Thank you for your e-mail.  I have spoken to Wen from the beginning about how he finds the tutoring with Charles.  Wen advised that he is happy with Charles as Charles is very kind and very understanding tutor. Wen said Charles communicate with ease and that makes it easier for Wen to understand.  Wen said he likes that Charles teaches him the faster and straight forward methods as it is less confusing.  Wen said he has been attempting harder questions with Charles which in turn gives him more confidence to attempt them.

We are very happy with Harriet , thanks. Mikayla has found it very easy to relate to her , and Harriet is always approachable and responsive. As it has only been a couple of weeks and is now school holidays , we haven't got any school results to go on however I am sure we will start to see results in this area. We had a negative experience with tutoring in the past (different organisation) , so we were reluctant to go down this path again , however I think we will have success with Harriet.

Physics tutoring in Port Kennedy

Is your child struggling in school? Maybe the grades haven't started to plummet and there might be no big red flags yet, but you've noticed an overall shift, especially when it comes to science subjects.

Parents look for local Port Kennedy physics tutors for help, but most are usually not sure what kind of support their child needs.

That's where we come in.

Physics is a tricky subject. It's one thing to understand a concept, but problems become impossibly complex pretty quickly. With difficult worded questions, for instance, it's not just about knowing the formulas, it's a whole leap in thinking as well.

Physics Tutor Port Kennedy

Getting regular tutoring is a great way for students to really cement what they've quickly gone over in school. In order to excel at physics, students need to be able to navigate through details, but also analyse ideas in an appropriate way. With someone who's done it before by their side, it definitely feels less overwhelming.

The right tutor makes it easier to connect each individual dot and make the necessary leap to scientific thinking. We can match you with the right physics tutor in Port Kennedy within a day or two. All we need is to have a quick chat to figure out what kind of support your child needs.

The first lesson comes as a risk-free trial with a money-back guarantee and we charge a simple hourly rate, no other fees. As simple as that.

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 Warnbro Community Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Endeavour Primary School.
