The most crucial things a tutor can do for a student are academic supervision, human connection, and consistency, and the combination of these can possibly redefine a class, subject, or school more generally for a learner. A high level of energy and patience are two of my strongest assets. I strongly rely on these traits when I'm tutoring. My…

A tutor should firstly be encouraging; to be more confident in their studies, for them to work hard and try their best, and to inspire a love of learning. Secondly, it is imperative to be understanding. Every student is unique, with varying goals, learning styles, and abilities, so learning should be tailored to each individual to ensure every…

Every student is different and every student has different ways of understanding concepts. Some might learn them easily via a practical approach while others focus on the theory first. Understanding the weak points of a student and focusing on the strength of a student is very important for a tutor to know. One of my strengths is a strong…

Encouragement is the most important quality a tutor should have.

I believe a tutor is meant to empower their student to success By personal experience, I’ve had both, a tutors who just…

This is much more comfortable on a smaller teaching ratio and as soon as students feel able to talk about their misconceptions they sore in ability and confidence.

Students spend a major part of a day in school. Many children are unable to get the most of it due to time-constraints and lack of individual attention in a class. However, there are a few students who maintain attention and focus in a classroom environment. Reason is they are more prepared than the rest. If a child follows what is happening in…

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

Thanks for your follow up. All seems to be going well so far . Anthony seems quite comfortable with Max and I think a little more confident . Of course it's still early days so we will assess his progress again soon.

Cassie is great! Ashley is already showing improvement in class and is happy with Cassie as she is easy to understand and can relate to her well. Thank you

Very happy with Luke at the moment. Billie seems keen and is interested in what Luke is showing her. That's a step forward for her when it comes to Maths.

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.
