Chemistry Tutor Joondalup, WA
To help students understand the basic concepts in whatever they have to study and help them develop a deeper, more relatable understanding. It is also important for me as a tutor to serve as a good role model for students. I try to make concepts easier for students to understand. Particularly, i strive for understanding rather than memorization…

I believe that patience, understanding, and validation are the three most important things a tutor can provide a pupil. Many students who need tutoring believe they are falling behind or that their contributions in class are insufficient, but tutors should always ensure that their students' learning is valid at their own speed and constantly…

Chemistry Tutor Connolly, WA
I consider an improvement in confidence incredibly significant to a child's attitude to learning. If a student is confident in their abilities to learn a subject, then they will be more likely to put effort into correcting their mistakes. This confidence and ability to recognise improvement will directly and positively affect the student's self…

Chemistry Tutor Woodvale, WA
To teach everything, mainly the basics, simply so that they can easily remember and pass any barrier or question thrown upon them. Moreover, I think practise questions and exercises will further contribute. Communication understanding and friendliness. I think the result all depends on how comfortable the student sees me as a tutor. So I make…

1. Be understanding and compassionate, as we may not fully understand their scenario or their struggles. 2. Listening to students in regards to what their weakest areas are and implementing any methods they may want to use to address the issue (e.g. practice questions). 3. Understanding when it's the right time to say "lets move onto another…

The most important thing a tutor can do is create a safe environment for the student to feel comfortable communicating the gaps in their knowledge. It is important to show students that learning can be enjoyable and rewarding and to help them find the ways in which they learn best. I am passionate about science and maths, which allows me to bring…

A tutor can bring in enjoyment into students even when they study. Most of the students don't enjoy study time the main reason being they don't understand certain concepts and find it hard. But a tutor can explain that to students in a way they understand bring in interest thereby the enjoyment factor into it. I have great patience, good problem…

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.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thank you for your email. Ben and David are working well together and it appears that the working relationship is positive. Interestingly, Ben has instantly been able to move to working with David as both David and Ben have in common the same secondary school that Ben is currently going to. So while David attended the school some years prior to Ben, and much has change, they were still able to compare experiences about the school which helped start them working constructively. We are very satisfied with continuing with David.

Yes so far we are happy with Emma. The reason we want the tutoring is that I would like Stephanie to be extended in a similar way to that which coaching colleges follow ie they seem to follow the curriculum of selective schools. I would like Stephanie to have the same opportunity to be extended. Since the coaching colleges are inconvenient for us, we much prefer to have a tutor like Emma.

Tanay enjoys learning with Curtis which is a great thing so I am sure he will listen to what Curtis has to tell him.

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.
