Not just be a teacher; to be there for the student as a friend. With that, accelerated learning will be a biproduct, when the environment is uplifting and comfortable. This will make learning more enjoyable and efficient. Ability to communicate very effectively with others, to be a friend to those that I am tutoring. I consider myself patient,…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to offer them quality information and direct feedback on their work and areas of struggle. Additionally, a tutor should be humble such that they do not impose their own ideas onto a student, but rather walk alongside the student's journey of learning. This helps to establish a strong…

Firstly, I believe the philosophy of "Teaching to fish rather than giving a fish. " It suggests that the tutor has a responsibility to inspire her students to take further exploration in the subject and cultivate good learning habits. Secondly, I think encouragement is essential in tutoring. Being as a tutor, I would let my student know that they…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be patient. One has to understand that every child has different ways of learning as well as the pace at which they learn. Therefore, a tutor should be perfectly fine with repeating a thing many times. A tutor should also be judgement free during the tutoring process as this makes the…

Being able to understand the student, and then properly…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to explain concepts they are confused with in a way that is suited to their individual learning style.

I also realise that while I enjoy learning and find it easy to…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be easily available to them. Often times a student may wish to clarify a quick concept or question outside of tutor times for homework or other purposes. By being easily available to the student, a tutor can spare a few minutes of their day to support and promote the student's learning.…

I think my hard work…

I would have to say the tutor would need to be driven. If the tutor doesn’t have that drive how will their student show any motivation or show the knowledge they’ve gained I think I’m quite patient.

Be patient, understanding, and be encouraging! High school is not an easy thing, not just because of what you're learning but also because life must go on outside of school.

Helping them to understand the right way to gain knowledge, either through the ability to scan and pick out relevant details or the ability to summarise key points.

Inside WestlakeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 12 student Sanvi focused on refining her chemistry assignment rationale and analysis, then practiced exam-style questions on acid-base equilibria and buffer solutions.

In Year 11, Ethan reviewed the application of log laws to algebraic equations in math before switching to chemistry to explore VSEPR theory and its impact on molecular shape using diagrams.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Priya completed revision on Pythagoras' theorem with targeted practice problems and wrapped up her work on algebraic expressions by solving index law questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9, a student avoided writing out solutions in algebra, often saying, "I can do this in my head," which led to sign errors that went unnoticed until revision.

A Year 11 chemistry student was reminded to "clean up the rationale" and follow the given structure, as messy formatting made it hard to locate key arguments during peer review.

In senior maths (Year 12), over-reliance on calculators for logarithmic equations meant basic log laws were not committed to memory—this slowed progress on non-calculator tasks.

One younger learner missed assigned homework entirely, leaving foundational concepts unpracticed by next lesson.

Recent Achievements

One Westlake tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to leave assignments until the last minute now starting chemistry tasks early, giving her time to improve her rationale and make real links between concepts.

In Year 12 maths, a student who previously hesitated on practice exams has started attempting every question independently and can now derive and integrate complex functions with much less prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger student showed a shift from guessing at diagrams in problem-solving questions to drawing them out purposefully before working through each step—something he'd avoided before.

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 Mount Ommaney Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Middle Park State School.
