The most important thing that an english tutor can do for a student is to help them see the subject in the light that they do and nurture their interest in it. Failure in getting the concepts also leads to fear and that's where a tutor has to support the student , to prevent them from losing confidence in themselves. My biggest strength as a tutor…

I think the most important things an english tutor can do for a student is to make learning fun so they don't feel pressured into doing work but if it's fun they are going to enjoy it more. Even little things such as brain breaks are going to benefit the child so they can give their brain a break before diving back into it. I want to make sure…

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. A tutor can build the confidence of a student, reassuring the student on their strengths, and encouraging them to build and…

I believe that the most important thing an english tutor can do for his/her students is to individualise the learning process. This means adapting to the individual's learning style, learning their strengths and weaknesses and tailoring the teaching style to cater for each, and keeping track of their progress. Instilling confidence in the student…

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…

A tutor has to want the student to succeed in what they're learning. It's important to know specifically where the student is struggling in order to help them. It would be remiss not to mention that there is a positive impact on the students' performance in school as well. If I explain something and the student doesn't understand, I'll find…

A tutor should firstly be encouraging; to be more confident in their studies, for them to work hard and try their best, and to inspire a love of learning. Secondly, it is imperative to be understanding. Every student is unique, with varying goals, learning styles, and abilities, so learning should be tailored to each individual to ensure every…

Inside TappingTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Ava focused on understanding gradients and the basics of straight-line graphs, using visual examples to clarify slope.

Year 10 student Liam tackled trigonometric ratios and right-angled triangle problems, reinforcing concepts with practice questions from recent classwork.

For a Year 6 student, Chloe worked through identifying 10% and 20% of amounts in worded money problems and practiced giving change during shopping list activities.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 mathematics, one student repeatedly forgot to double-check negatives and confused the rules for 'and'/'or' in probability questions; as a tutor noted, "some careless mistakes can be fixed by double-checking his work."

During a Year 12 algebra session, skipping written steps led to missed signs and confusion when expanding brackets.

In a Year 4 session on telling time, anxiety about getting answers wrong caused hesitation—even when she knew the method.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student's test performance suffered from distractions in noisy environments, despite demonstrating strong understanding during quieter tutoring sessions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Tapping noticed a real shift with one Year 11 student who had been averaging around the class mark all year but recently scored about 16% above average on her maths exam—she'd struggled to organise her investigations before, but this time produced much clearer written sections and nailed right-angled trigonometry questions.

In another session, a Year 9 student who usually hesitated to ask for help began pausing mid-task to clarify confusing steps instead of guessing, which meant he solved four-digit addition problems independently by the end.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner confidently counted money using different note combinations without guidance for the first time.

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 Tapping Primary School.
