Most important thing would be to know what the goal of the student is and help them and support them in achieving their goal in a friendly environment. A tutor should be able to offer many different explanations so that the student has a better chance of understanding a particular concept. Most important is to make the student feel at ease and be…

I think it is important for a tutor to help students feel engaged and motivated towards the subject they are learning which can be achieved through an upbeat and cooperative environment. As a tutor, there should always be a focus on encouraging students especially at times they may feel demotivated. By maintaining a positive attitude and patience,…

Students are different from each other, some are fast learner while others are the opposite. As a tutor, I think its important to deliver a lesson that is easy to comprehend regardless of how academic the students are. I am more to lean to visual than texts.

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is be patient and listen to what they aren't understanding. Also to be able to identify that is a student isn't understanding a concept then the tutor needs to be able to recognise this and try to explain it to them in a different way. I think my strengths as a tutor are that I am a very…

A student may have several factors which obtrude in their academic progress: be it a lack of motivation, confidence, understanding, time, support, etc. An ideal tutor will exemplify virtues in all these areas, and offer insight to a student to shore up any component they may be lacking. I would suggest that there is no singularly important…

I think the most important thing is not just giving a student a surface level understanding of how to solve a problem. If you help them understand the core fundamentals, maths becomes so much easier. Another key thing is giving each student a tailored experience to their level. We don't want to overwhelm them. I am very good at breaking down…

The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to help them see the subject in the light that they do and nurture their interest in it. Failure in getting the concepts also leads to fear and that's where a tutor has to support the student , to prevent them from losing confidence in themselves. My biggest strength as a tutor is my…

I the the most important thing a tutor can do for their student is make their lessons fun and engaging. If we are being completely honest, most kids don't like math, so creating a lesson plan where it's not just learning, but enjoying the learning process will encourage the child to continue putting effort into math. I believe it is also just…

Every student learns at a different rate.

The most important thing I feel is to instill confidence in the student. A confident mindset to problem solving in any discipline is as important as the knowledge.

I think the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to make learning fun so they don't feel pressured into doing work but if it's fun they are going to enjoy it more. Even little things such as brain breaks are going to benefit the child so they can give their brain a break before diving back into it. I want to make sure that all…

A tutor should push the student as much as they possibly can.

A tutor can build the confidence of a student, reassuring the student on their strengths, and encouraging them to build and…

Inside TappingTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Ava focused on understanding gradients and the basics of straight-line graphs, using visual examples to clarify slope.

Year 10 student Liam tackled trigonometric ratios and right-angled triangle problems, reinforcing concepts with practice questions from recent classwork.

For a Year 6 student, Chloe worked through identifying 10% and 20% of amounts in worded money problems and practiced giving change during shopping list activities.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 mathematics, one student repeatedly forgot to double-check negatives and confused the rules for 'and'/'or' in probability questions; as a tutor noted, "some careless mistakes can be fixed by double-checking his work."

During a Year 12 algebra session, skipping written steps led to missed signs and confusion when expanding brackets.

In a Year 4 session on telling time, anxiety about getting answers wrong caused hesitation—even when she knew the method.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student's test performance suffered from distractions in noisy environments, despite demonstrating strong understanding during quieter tutoring sessions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Tapping noticed a real shift with one Year 11 student who had been averaging around the class mark all year but recently scored about 16% above average on her maths exam—she'd struggled to organise her investigations before, but this time produced much clearer written sections and nailed right-angled trigonometry questions.

In another session, a Year 9 student who usually hesitated to ask for help began pausing mid-task to clarify confusing steps instead of guessing, which meant he solved four-digit addition problems independently by the end.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner confidently counted money using different note combinations without guidance for the first time.

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 Joondalup Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Tapping Primary School.
