English Tutor Parmelia, WA
The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to always keep the subject as interesting as he can. The way I keep things interesting is to get to know more about the student's interests and try to relate the subject to his interests. By doing this, the student will be able to see the value of the subject. Patience and…

Tutor's role is not only to simply teach the lessons for a student to gain understanding and become knowledgeable about it. The most meaningful learning is how a learner learns the process but will become a holistic individual. This means he will be taught not only cognitively but his/her affective and psychomotor learning domains will be…

First and foremost, an english tutor has to gel up with the student, make him/her comfortable. Once that is done, the teaching method adopted must be interesting, with must include examples from daily life so that the student can relate to it easily. Moreover, a diagrammatic approach must be used while teaching, since, children tend to remember…

I consider patience to be very essential when it comes to teaching.

Motivation is also key as it is usually effective if pushing a…

The most important thing is to ensure that a student properly understands the task in front of them so that at a later stage, they are able to work independently and without assistance. A tutor also needs to remain positive and act as a positive influence over the student and ensure the student feels safe and comfortable at all times. I am…

The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is help them understand a topic in a way that they understand. What I mean by this, is that not one student is the same as another.

Patience is first and foremost when you're with a student. It is vastly important that you should respect the pace at which the student learns and works at, to never pressure or rush the student, to challenge them without making them feel small or inadequate. We all learn in different ways and at different speeds - none of which are better or…

Very impressed with the first tutoring session. Tutor was very friendly and helpful and answered any questions that i had. Was surprised with how much work was gotten through in just one hour.
Nicole, Bertram

Inside The SpectaclesTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Daniel practised completing the square for quadratic equations and revisited probability assessment questions.

In Year 10, Olivia worked on solving simultaneous equations using both elimination and substitution methods.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ethan tackled division of polynomial expressions by linear divisors and solved cubic function equations.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student tackling algebra often made calculation errors when solving for variables; as one tutor noted, "frequent algebra mistakes occur," especially with negatives and fractions, which meant time was spent fixing old errors instead of building new skills.

In Year 11, cramming report writing close to the due date led to rushed drafts and overlooked feedback—reporting earlier would have eased this pressure.

For a Year 7 student, scattered lesson materials in multiple folders created confusion about what needed to be learned. This lack of organization left her unsure where to start each session.

Recent Achievements

In The Spectacles, a Year 11 student independently spotted no real solution to a quadratic equation—a concept that had caused confusion in previous assessments.

A Year 9 student who once rushed through their work has begun writing out workings clearly, resulting in fewer errors and much more careful problem-solving at every step.

A primary student who used to guess answers now pauses to ask questions when unsure, showing a big move toward active learning. In the last session, this younger learner finished all ten subtraction problems unaided.
