Specific, targeted focus on the students areas of weakness. Identify exactly where (according to the marking criterion) they are losing out, and establish a focus on the content or skills that will remedy this weakness. In my experience, students are often fully capable of achieving higher grades, they simply don't understand what they're doing…

It is important to be patient with a student; they won't always understand what is being taught and as a tutor you need to be able to explain something in a way that they will understand the concept. I think it's also crucial that the tutor is organised; arrives a few minutes early and knows what they will be going through and brings any…

Lesson plans don't always work out. Sometimes students are tired or distracted. A good…

I think that, as I said earlier, building confidence is an important thing, so that students can be self-sufficient. I also think that when they take pride in their work, they can achieve beyond their own expectations.

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…

A tutor should be able to understand the exact problems the student has regarding the study material.

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.
