Psychology Tutor Southern River, WA
I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is give the student confidence. I think it is important to create an environment where students feel comfortable having a go at everything, and eventually reaching a point where they can attempt questions on their own. I’m patient, I explain topics in ways that are relevant to each…

Psychology Tutor Huntingdale, WA
Personalize learning and teach the student specific to their learning style. Its best to ensure they learn the info required in the way the student is capable of learning, rather than enforcing them to follow a default method. Definitely communication and experience with younger people, if they struggle to understand a topic I could explain in…

Psychology Tutor Seville Grove, WA
One of my biggest strengths as a tutor is my ability to break down complex topics into simple, relatable explanations. I also genuinely care about my students’ progress, and I make an effort to understand their learning styles, struggles, and goals. I know that everyone learns differently, so I adapt my approach to fit their needs. Most…

I think the most important things a tutor can do are to make the student feel understood, build their confidence, and explain concepts in a way that truly makes sense to them. As someone who is still a student myself, I know how overwhelming things can get, so I try to create a comfortable space where they are not afraid to ask questions or make…

Psychology Tutor Wilson, WA
In my opinion, the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to break a concept down to its simplest form. In my school days, I often found this to be the easiest way to learn. If your basic foundation of any concept is strong, it gets much easier to build on that and learn more complex information pertaining to it. Moreover, being…

Psychology Tutor Riverton, WA
A tutor must be very patient, approachable, and accepting, as students should feel safe and comfortable enough to ask any question without facing any judgment. A warm and friendly environment must be established. This is the most effective way for a student to learn, and be open to learning. A tutor must also be able to provide examples of the…

It is a necessity for a tutor to establish rapport with their students. As a proponent of a theory in rapport for learners, it is important that the student and teacher must sense each other, sync in their teaching and learning process and experience an affirming positive experience while educating. I am very creative in teaching my students. I…

Inside Southern RiverTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student James reviewed the Cartesian plane and tackled algebraic concepts, including plotting points and working with linear equations.

In Year 6, Olivia focused on identifying rules in number sequences and practiced dividing fractions, with extra attention to converting between measurement units.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Sarah strengthened her understanding of operations with fractions and place value, then briefly explored Roman numerals and multiplication strategies for numbers ending in zero.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 Mathematics, a student left the semester review homework incomplete and showed hesitancy when tackling short answer questions, with one tutor noting, "homework: complete semester review (short answers)." This led to less exposure to unfamiliar question types and reduced feedback opportunities.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student struggled with organisation—forgetting to submit word class homework on nouns, adjectives, and verbs.

In senior maths sessions (Year 11), skipping written steps during algebraic simplification made sign errors harder to spot; as observed: "needs more practice with dealing with negative/minus signs when solving problems." Missed steps lingered into later revision.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Southern River noticed a Year 10 student who had struggled with fractions is now completing worksheets on decimals independently and shows much more ease tackling new arithmetic topics.

In Year 11 maths, one student recently started asking clarifying questions about solving for area until each step made sense—a big shift from staying silent when confused.

Another win came from a Year 7 English session where the student, previously unsure about comprehension questions, began identifying exactly what each question was asking and could answer with far less prompting than before. Last week, she asked the tutor for a tougher reading passage.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We are very happy, I have referred 3 families at this stage to you. I am impressed with how thorough Monica's lesson plans are, and how they move clearly from low order thinking to high order thinking in a fun way.

My son Matthew has been a student of Arda's here in Perth. Arda has been fantastic and helped Matthew through the difficulties he was having. Matthew has achieved 93% in his last exam and his class tests have all been consistently high.

It is a great pleasure for us too, to see Vas enjoying his lessons, and trying his utmost hardest to listen and catch up. This is all due to Jake too, he is a very big favourite to Vas, he loves his lessons with him, as he explains everything they are doing till Vas understands.

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 Amherst Village Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Southern Grove Primary School.
