English Tutor Karrinyup, WA
Help them do their best and feel like they have done their best after the exam. If a student doesn’t feel good about how they did but atleast they know they gave it a really good go, then that’s what matters most. As well as being confident going into the exam. I am a visual learner so I tutor as such. I will ask a million questions to the…

One of the best qualities of a tutor is to create a personal connection to your student. While tutoring classes in the past, I would encompass fun activities within the lesson in order to build an easy rapport with students in the beginning, making the student feel at ease, and comfortable, putting the student in a position in which he or she…

I aim to instil students with effective learning strategies. People aren’t taught how to effectively learn and study, and often they can feel lost. I firmly believe that understanding the best learning approach for oneself is just as important as understanding the schoolwork. I pride myself on being patient - I understand that everyone learns…

To help the student form a routine and improve performance in the school. Teaching the skill of learning and eventually working towards independence is very important to me.

A teacher can do the most if they can interpret they could enrich knowledge of their students with their way of teaching and most importantly build a strong knowledge of good practices and bad practices in terms of studies. I can change my way of teaching according to the student's personality and preference. Let us suppose there might be…

The most crucial thing a tutor can do for a student, in my opinion, is to foster an atmosphere in which they feel free to ask for assistance without the fear of judgement. Being patient and analytical are two of my talents as a tutor. This qualifies as a skill since it will put the children I will be tutoring at ease, making them more comfortable…

A good tutor should give to every student: 1- an understanding of the principles in the material; 2- the tools to tackle the material with confidence - typically inductive or deductive reasoning; and 3- an appreciation for the subject. As a homeschool parent I'm always learning new ways to teach STEM. Now semi-retired, I'm a mathematician…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is be patient and listen to what they aren't understanding. Also to be able to identify that is a student isn't understanding a concept then the tutor needs to be able to recognise this and try to explain it to them in a different way. I think my strengths as a tutor are that I am a very…

Encourage them! Sometimes the issue isn't in the difficulty of the concept, but that they don't believe in themselves. I believe bringing the right attitude of positive reinforcement can really make a difference as well as demonstrating a ton of examples, so the student can establish a pattern. I believe everyone can be good at Maths. It just…

Let the students understand where they have gone wrong and, instead of telling them the answer right away, letting the student work it out for themselves with some guidance from the tutor if necessary.

totally 100% happy with my childs maths tutor - he is patient & explains things in a simple way that she understands
Donna, Hillarys

Inside HillarysTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Ava practised rearranging equations into y = mx + c form and drawing linear graphs, using graph paper to visualise gradients and intercepts.

For Year 7, Ethan worked on identifying acute, obtuse, right, and reflex angles as well as calculating unknown angles within diagrams.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Oliver focused on consumer arithmetic—solving questions about investments and both simple and compound interest—and tackled complex currency exchange problems with real-world examples.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11, one student struggled to refine notes and organize revision for tests—"he needs to improve his study organisation," as observed during exam preparation. This led to missed connections between formulas and their real-world applications.

In Year 8, messy written work and skipped steps in algebra ("incorrect formatting when solving algebraic equations") made it hard to spot arithmetic errors before they became habits.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner often forgot key fraction processes and avoided using pen and paper, so confusion built up across lessons. By the end, motivation dipped whenever worded problems caused overwhelm and uncertainty.

Recent Achievements

A Hillarys tutor noticed a Year 10 student, previously hesitant with algebraic inequalities, now solving multi-step questions three times faster than before—even managing to spot and fix his own formatting mistakes along the way.

In another session, a Year 11 student who struggled to apply mathematical processes from worded problems began independently figuring out which strategies fit each question type without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who once needed step-by-step support with long addition and subtraction is now working through column sums solo and tackling new questions on her own initiative.

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 Whitford Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Mark's Anglican Community School.
