I believe that patience, understanding, and validation are the three most important things a tutor can provide a pupil. Many students who need tutoring believe they are falling behind or that their contributions in class are insufficient, but tutors should always ensure that their students' learning is valid at their own speed and constantly…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is acknowledge that all students are different. It's crucial to recognise a student's individual needs and tailor to them. A tutor should adapt to the student's learning style rather than the student adapting to the tutor's teaching style. My biggest strength is my genuine passion and enthusiasm for…

A tutor should push the student as much as they possibly can. Not answer the questions for them, continue making sure the student understands throughout a session and asking the student to teach a question to the tutor.

Local Reviews

We are very happy with Vivian. My daughter likes her a lot.
Michelle, Ocean Reef

Inside Ocean ReefTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 12 student Ella worked on understanding binomial and Bernoulli distributions, along with differentiating trigonometric functions using practice questions.

In Year 11, Josh focused on normal distribution problems and interpreting sample proportions and confidence intervals from real data sets.

Meanwhile, Year 7 student Sophie strengthened her skills with converting fractions to percentages and practiced adding fractions using visual aids for clarity.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student struggled to translate word problems into equations, often confusing "multiplying by two" with "squaring"—as a tutor noted, "he wrote 2x instead of x²."

In Year 10 algebra, copying working from previous examples led to confusion when faced with unfamiliar questions; this habit blocked real understanding.

A senior student in statistics needed repeated prompting to use formulas for confidence intervals, hesitating without clear steps and missing the link between terms and methods.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner relied on times tables charts for basic multiplication, which slowed progress on multi-step problems and chipped away at her confidence mid-task.

Recent Achievements

One Ocean Reef tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to hesitate with tricky probability problems now confidently chooses between Binomial and Discrete Random Variables, showing real independence.

A Year 11 student who struggled to see mistakes in her maths test recently reviewed her answers, understood where she went wrong, and fixed them herself without prompting.

At the primary level, one younger learner has shifted from guessing at decimal placement to consistently lining up numbers correctly—she now pauses and checks before answering, rather than rushing through. Last session, she placed every decimal accurately on her own.

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 Joondalup Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Simon Peter Catholic Primary School.
