Tutor Como, WA
The sole priority of the tutor is to do anything they can to continually further the skills and success of their student. However this has to be achieved in a reasonable way. Every student has a different learning style and a different ability level. I am able to adapt the way I tutor to suit these different styles and ensure the proper…

Tutor Booragoon, WA
I think it is extremely important for a tutor to approachable for a student. This means that the tutor exerts a relative level of authority but the student also feels like they are in a safe, nurturing learning environment. A tutor's job is to awaken the student's hunger for learning to allow them to reach their full potential. I also feel that a…

Tutor Thornlie, WA
I believe that patience is very important when it comes to tutoring. This is important because it allows for the student to remain comfortable and ask questions without being worried that they are being judged. Since asking questions is a key aspect of the learning process, impatience would simply limit the students ability to learn. I am able to…

Tutor Kewdale, WA
The most important thing as a tutor is to guide the students think positively. I was influenced by my high school maths teacher so much and even now I remember what he said to the class, "all maths is easy, none of these are hard" and "practice makes progress". The encouragement from my maths teacher motivated me to have faith on myself that I…

Tutor has to be organised and punctual for each lesson. That is in order for the student to receive the most out of each lesson. Furthermore, as a tutor you need to be enthusiastic and supportive. I believe as a tutor that academic success does result from a place of support so a relationship with the student is key, although professional. Lessons…

Understand their individual circumstances. Some students seek tutoring in order to excel, whilst others may need assistance in a subject they are struggling to pass. I believe a tutor needs to know their students well enough to understand their personal goals, their preferred methods of learning (eg. some students may require diagrams to visualise…

Being able to adapt and understand the needs of a student and appeal to the diverse studying methods of different students would be one of the most important things a tutor could do.

A tutor is more than just one that imparts knowledge. Any textbook, podcast or Youtube Video can do that. The power of a good tutor is in his or her ability to strengthen and encourage their students, so helping them gain some momentum to keep persevering in subjects that are challenging them. This means patiently helping the students understand…

Local Reviews

During the first phone call, I felt the staff member was quite rushed. I had a lot to explain and felt I didn't get to finish. His final decision was no, the company probably couldn't help me but I persisted. Then it worked out in the end and I got a tutor. The tutor has attended once and I'm happy with him.

Inside ShelleyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Aryan practised dividing fractions and calculating percentages, focusing on applying these skills to piecewise defined relationships.

In Year 10, Ethan worked through factoring and expanding quadratic expressions as well as a brief introduction to compound interest using step-by-step examples.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Grace revised matrix multiplication and explored the normal distribution in statistics, also touching on key finance topics relevant to her coursework.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student struggled with factorising quadratics in a test and, as noted, "ran out of time"—test anxiety led to second-guessing answers and slow progress.

In Year 10 maths, skipping clear layout on simultaneous equations meant errors weren't spotted until feedback was given; the tutor wrote, "laying out answers properly and clearly" was still an issue.

In primary maths, one child hesitated to ask for help when stuck multiplying large numbers—missing chances to clarify confusion early.

For a senior student using the CAS Classpad, over-reliance on calculator steps made it harder to remember key finance formulas without prompts during practice.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Shelley noticed one Year 10 student, who previously hesitated to check her own work, now confidently uses the "talking aloud" technique and backchecks her answers on quadratic expansions—meaning she trusts her instincts but also double-checks without wasting time.

Another high schooler has shifted from struggling with linear equations to independently substituting values and successfully graphing lines, even explaining how slope direction changes with gradient sign.

In a younger session, a primary student who rarely participated began asking more questions when uncertain and started showing all working steps for each maths problem before moving on.

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 Riverton Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Shelley Primary School.
