English Tutor Koondoola, WA
The most important thing is to create a environment in which the student is not afraid to ask questions and in which every question is considered important. A tutor has to respect that everyone learns differently and has to be prepared to re-explain things a few times, maybe in different ways for the student. I am a good listener, I believe I…

As clichĂ© as it sounds, I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to not give up on the student. Patience and persistence is key to finding what allows a student to succeed. Likewise, being able to adapt is very important to a tutor. Knowing how to change the way you teach a student can be very valuable for their…

It takes patience and understanding to help that student make positive progress. I believe that my communication skills are my greatest strength as a…

Confidence. I believe from past experience that once a child has gained some confidence in a particular subject then learning becomes more fun and interesting.

Give them the resources to be their best student. Rather than just giving them the answer outright, set up a pathway for them to solve their problem themselves. I'm a very patient person, I think I've learned from past 'bad' tutors that patience is key to the student enjoying the session. I also consider myself to be creative with solutions if the…

Inside TriggTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Paige focused on converting fractions to decimals and percentages, as well as multiplying numbers with decimals using step-by-step examples.

For Year 10, Benji worked through finding equations of linear graphs and explored the relationships between parallel and perpendicular lines by calculating midpoints and segment lengths.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student James tackled more advanced compound interest problems involving non-annual compounding, and revisited key concepts in surds for deeper understanding.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student did not complete assigned homework on finding midpoints and distinguishing non-linear correlation, which limited their readiness for new material.

In Year 9, messy working—such as skipping writing out equations—meant errors in rearranging trigonometric equations were harder to spot; as one tutor observed, "he didn't write down the equations and didn't understand them fully."

A Year 6 student avoided practice with fraction-to-percent conversions, preferring easier multiplication drills instead.

Meanwhile, a senior student became flustered during wordy probability questions, hesitating after misreading key phrases like "at least"—leading to repeated confusion in tree diagrams.

Recent Achievements

A Trigg tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student who had previously struggled with rearranging equations finally grasp the process of cross multiplication, now able to solve these independently after needing reminders in earlier sessions.

Another high schooler showed a real shift by bringing all her past homework and test results to lessons, demonstrating initiative and a new willingness to review mistakes—something she used to avoid.

Meanwhile, a younger student made clear progress by reciting most of the four times table at a reasonable speed for the first time, after weeks of hesitancy with recall.

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 Karrinyup Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Mary's Anglican Girls' School.
