For a tutor I believe the most important thing is to impart skills and tips to help students effectively study and use their time wisely when aiming for specific academics goals. I also believe is is important that tutors facilitate an environment that engages the student and helps them learn the best way for them. I can easily adapt and alter a…

I think to be able to cater to each sutdent individually is the most important thing a tutor can do. Each student learns and processes information differently. By understanding this the tutor can adapt their teaching style to suit that of the student. I think my experience in my job and as a student now studying teaching, I have the skills to be a…

Patience is first and foremost when you're with a student. It is vastly important that you should respect the pace at which the student learns and works at, to never pressure or rush the student, to challenge them without making them feel small or inadequate. We all learn in different ways and at different speeds - none of which are better or…

Some of the most important things a student can gain from having a tutor would be to build up their confidence in a certain subject, by providing specialised teaching and education for that specific student, to increase their understanding. A tutor would also provide a different perspective of difficult concepts, being seperated from the…

I think a tutor should help a child believe in themselves, and believe that they can achieve anything they put their mind to. It is important to give them lots of encouragement, kindness, whilst also challenging them to step outside of their comfort zones. I think a tutor should also go beyond merely giving out the same, mundane worksheets and…

It is important to teach frameworks and critical thinking rather than boring formulas or random facts. In other words, the goal of any tutor is to teach someone how to fish and never give them fish. I strive to find familiar examples in real life that connect with the concepts we are learning to ease this process. I am able to meet my students…

Inside South FremantleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Chinnu worked on multiplying, dividing, and simplifying fractions, as well as using short division to help with fraction calculations.

For Year 9, Mia focused on evaluating angles in triangles and quadrilaterals, and applying algebraic reasoning to solve for unknown angles.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Sam revised parabolas and quadratic equations through pre-test review sessions and practiced structured problem-solving strategies relevant to their upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student struggled to keep clear notes during lessons, which made revision for algebra and angle problems much harder; as one tutor observed, "setting out clear notes to aid revision" was a recurring challenge.

In Year 11 trigonometry, reluctance to admit gaps in understanding led to missed opportunities for feedback—this showed up when the core purpose of trig functions wasn't grasped.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 learner tended to disengage if a solution wasn't obvious immediately, often saying "I don't know how to do that," then stopping work altogether instead of applying practiced problem-solving strategies.

Recent Achievements

One South Fremantle tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who, after struggling to identify key features in parabolas and quadratics at first, was able to explain these confidently by the second week.

In another session, a high schooler who used to hesitate during fraction division started working through short division steps independently and got correct answers without prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger student has begun double-checking their subtraction work by adding back the answer—a new habit that shows real attention to accuracy, since they previously rushed and skipped checking altogether.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We had one lesson with Taruka, she is lovely and Isabella enjoyed it. With school holiday and long weekend we haven't managed another but will definitely be starting up next week again.

Both of the tutors that you have sent have been fantastic - very knowledgeable, great with Ollie, could not be happier

I am very pleased with Gabrielle and so is Thomas, so a great start. Just having a  mentor has boasted Thomas's confidence enormously and I listen to how Gabrielle communicates with Thomas and I am amazed. Thomas is very happy.

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 Fremantle: Fremantle Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Beaconsfield Primary School.
