I believe encouragement is the most important thing a tutor can do. By focusing on what they have achieved rather then what they haven't, the children can gain a sense of self worth and achievement, making them more likely to want to learn more. By always being there to support them through difficult content, a tutor can develop trust with the…

Tutor Connolly, WA
I believe to explain a concept that the student can understand is paramount in the role of a tutor. For this to be done the student needs to comprehend the simple skills that leads up to the final difficult concept. If a tutor is able to explain this complex concept by explaining the simple skills and breaking down the concept in a simpler method,…

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. When a student develops inner strength to learn, half of the work is done. Specially in Maths i like to analyze any gaps and help the student to bridge these gaps first. To…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to teach them how to solve problems. To approach problems logically and critically so that they can confidently solve problems (whether it be a maths or a physics problem) independently. From personal experience, my strengths involve: - Teaching independent thinking and problem solving…

Tutor Girrawheen, WA
For maths, I think the most important thing for students is to understand the concepts rather than just knowing the formula themselves. It really helps build the foundation to solve maths problems, especially in maths specialists which requires critical thinking. I feel like being their friend when I help them, so it doesn't make them feel…

Tutor Ashby, WA
Most important thing would be to know what the goal of the student is and help them and support them in achieving their goal in a friendly environment. A tutor should be able to offer many different explanations so that the student has a better chance of understanding a particular concept. Most important is to make the student feel at ease and be…

Be prepared to listen to the students problems and adjust your teaching method such that they are able to learn the way that is more effective for them. I believe I have all the material ready to be a tutor that is prepared for the students such that no time is wasted in the tutoring session to read over old material. I also believe that I can…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is helping them understand the concept behind the topic they are doing. Once you fully grasp the concept it stays with you and precision and speed with the question just comes with practice. I am able to get students to understand the concept as opposed to just learning how to do the…

Actively listening to the student and what they want to achieve. Being empathetic to the student and if a particular strategy isn't working, then tackling it from a different angle until together the tutor and student find what works best for the student and their style of learning. I am intuitive, empathetic and an excellent listener. I myself…

The most important thing as a tutor is to guide the students think positively. I was influenced by my high school maths teacher so much and even now I remember what he said to the class, "all maths is easy, none of these are hard" and "practice makes progress". The encouragement from my maths teacher motivated me to have faith on myself that I…

Not only identify potential errors made by the student but also shed light on how to improve them. I find this method especially effective when using personal experiences. Providing practice questions including worked solutions is also key aspect of my teaching. I personally used to struggle with maths in primary school and was able to find…

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.
