Chemistry Tutor Joondalup, WA
Putting all their effort into the student, and making sure they are your number one priority. Also being respectful towards the students, making them feel comfortable towards you. I am a good communicator, I am quite young so I'll be able to engage with most of the students better than someone older, I have fresh knowledge only just coming out of…

Encourage them. Make them know that the emphases is on learning instead of always being correct I\'m very patient so they hopefully won\'t feel any pressure or disappointment when they get things wrong. That also leads into my reassuring…

Chemistry Tutor Connolly, WA
I consider an improvement in confidence incredibly significant to a child's attitude to learning. If a student is confident in their abilities to learn a subject, then they will be more likely to put effort into correcting their mistakes. This confidence and ability to recognise improvement will directly and positively affect the student's self…

Chemistry Tutor Joondalup, WA
Students spend a major part of a day in school. Many children are unable to get the most of it due to time-constraints and lack of individual attention in a class. However, there are a few students who maintain attention and focus in a classroom environment. Reason is they are more prepared than the rest. If a child follows what is happening in…

Chemistry Tutor Ocean Reef, WA
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is develop problem solving skills and to help them to make connections in their own mind, leading to greater retention in the long term. A tutor’s end goal shouldn’t be to teach a student how to work out a specific problem, it should be to get the student to a point where they can tackle…

Inside RidgewoodTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Sarah worked on addition and subtraction with large numbers and decimals, as well as perimeter calculations using real-life measurement examples.

Year 9 student Daniel tackled simultaneous equations in two variables by rearranging and combining equations to eliminate unknowns, followed by solving for each variable using substitution.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Jasmine focused on trigonometry problems involving angles of elevation and depression, practising diagram-based questions to strengthen her understanding.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 algebra, skipping working when rearranging equations often led to confusion with signs; as one tutor noted, "he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors."

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student relied heavily on her iPad calculator for maths but found it distracting during sessions—this made it harder to focus on surface area problems.

In Year 12 Chemistry, not bringing home assessment sheets meant missed teacher expectations and less targeted revision.

A Year 5 student hesitated to start worded fraction questions, sometimes avoiding attempts if unsure. This reluctance slowed progress and left tricky concepts unpracticed.

Recent Achievements

One Ridgewood tutor noticed a big change in Ella (Year 10), who had previously been hesitant to share her ideas but is now actively offering opinions during essay planning, especially when linking film themes to quotes.

In a recent high school maths session, Kyle managed to complete more challenging questions much faster and with fewer errors than at the start of tutoring—a clear leap in both speed and accuracy.

Meanwhile, Isabella in Year 4 surprised her tutor by quickly mastering her 9-times tables after having only just memorised the basics, finishing a full set without prompts.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Everything is going well with Warit. Evan is happy with him so far. I trust that will continue.  He's comfortable to ask if he doesn't understand something. Warit has given Evan some good maths tips with his times tables that Evan has understood.

Emily is doing very well and Melanie is great. Emily is really comfortable with her and although it is early days she is improving. I am really happy with Melanie and the progress so far.

In a nut shell, we are very happy with Tamara and Laura's progress so far. Her teaching techniques are excellent, exactly what Laura needed & to top it off she is very well mannered and very patient. You can also see that she genuinely enjoys teaching/educating her students. It's a shame there are not more teachers like her!

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 Clarkson Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Alkimos Baptist College.
