A tutor can bring in enjoyment into students even when they study. Most of the students don't enjoy study time the main reason being they don't understand certain concepts and find it hard. But a tutor can explain that to students in a way they understand bring in interest thereby the enjoyment factor into it. I have great patience, good problem…

Connecting interpersonally. You need to be able to understand your students in order to tutor them effectively. What they struggle with, maybe an interest of theirs, hobbies. Their emotions, when they feel frustrated, or elated. All this in order to be able to tailor the tutoring experience to the student I'm patient, but persistent. I can wait…

Software Dev Tutor Quinns Rocks, WA
The reason why a student hires a student is because they struggle in the classroom environment, where they may not get that much help from the teacher. Which is why it is important for the tutor to provide a more personal teaching method and generate a friendship between each other. Making sure you help with anything the student is struggling…

Software Dev Tutor Burns Beach, WA
The most important things a tutor can do for a student would be to support them academically and emotionally/mentally. The main aim of tutoring is to further their skills in the given area of school, but it isn't always that straight forward especially when dealing with diverse students. Understanding how they are doing emotionally and mentally is…

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

Mayeesha is doing a great job with tutoring Joanna. She comes in with such a great attitude to teach. We are blessed to have her.

Sarah is fabulous! Friendly knowledgeable and flexible with times to work in with my child. Very happy with how she is working with my daughter.

I am pleased to say that things are going very well with Tina so far. Tina is organised, confident and already has a good grasp of Olivia's issues and Olivia really likes having her come each week. I look forward to her continued progress.

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.
