I believe that is to impart the knowledge he/she has to the student about a certain subject, in such way and manner that is very considerate to the mental and emotional well-being and capacity of the student. It is important that the tutor knows his/her student’s capabilities, so the tutor will have a basis on how he/she will tackle the…

Understanding is key in tutoring as adequate assistance would help a student to achieve their best potentials. Secondly, we as tutoring should make…

I believe in teaching students the deeper meaning behind the information rather than just having them memorise facts. Instead of focusing solely on rote learning, I aim to help students understand the why and how of what they're learning. By providing real-world examples and context, I hope to spark their curiosity and encourage them to think…

The most important role an english tutor plays for a student is to assist the student in developing their own agency in their subject area. When we believe a subject is beyond us, or we're not smart enough to grasp it, we shy away and don't push ourselves as hard. Often this belief has developed from what others have told us or from not having the…

Two sessions in and I couldn't be happier. It was easy to get started, the team are very responsive and helpful, the payment options are flexible and the tutor knows her stuff.
Elizabeth Bentley, Tempe

Inside TempeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Max focused on calculating surface area and volume of cylinders and circles, as well as identifying mean, median, and mode using real data sets.

For Year 11, Olivia worked through differentiation rules including finding equations for tangents and normals to curves, and practiced applying first and second derivatives to rate of change questions.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Sam explored frequency tables and histograms to interpret discrete versus continuous data, building confidence in statistical graphing by constructing examples together.

Recent Challenges

In Year 12 Advanced English, a student avoided integrating short quotes into analysis due to time pressure—"we only had an hour to outline the ideas," a tutor noted—which left written responses less concise and sometimes unfocused.

For Year 11 Maths, another relied heavily on inputting equations directly into the calculator rather than writing them down first; this habit led to small but persistent errors in trigonometric problems.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student's science notes showed missing steps in balancing chemical equations, making it difficult to spot where misunderstandings occurred during review sessions.

Recent Achievements

A Tempe tutor recently saw a Year 11 student, Chloe, move from hesitating with advanced calculus to independently differentiating higher-order trigonometric and logarithmic functions—something she'd previously found overwhelming.

In another session, a Year 9 student who used to guess through algebra questions is now pausing to identify like terms before solving, showing real care in her working.

Meanwhile, a younger student in Year 5 stopped rushing ahead on area problems and started double-checking each calculation after making frequent mistakes last term; he finished his worksheet with every answer correct this week.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I met Angeline for the first time on Monday this week- She is bright and seems to have lots of resources and experience already.

We are very happy with the lovely Sarah and more importantly, Annie is enjoying her time with her.

We are very happy with Simon. Ryan has taken to the tutoring really well. One on one has really helped as he cannot get distracted by other kids and Simon keeps him on his toes and listening attentively.

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 St Peters / Sydenham Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Tempe Public School.
