Modern History Tutor Meadowbank, NSW
A few of the important things a tutor can do for a student is to care, understand and support. Although a tutor may have an incredible breadth of knowledge, it is the way that they deliver this knowledge that is key. Firstly, they need to care and understand the student's level and ability to learn and process information. As much as delivering…

Modern History Tutor Wollstonecraft, NSW
To me, the most essential role a tutor can fulfill is that of an enabler and empowerer. I believe a tutor's primary goal should be to provide students with a strong foundation of knowledge and a resilient problem-solving framework, not only to tackle academic challenges but also to navigate any obstacle life may present. An empowering tutor equips…

Provide a safe space for the student to make mistakes without judgement. They don’t always have this at school with their peers looking on. Provide high level materials that don’t just duplicate those from school or in generic books. I really think about the resources we use to make sure they are the right level, challenging and have stretch…

Modern History Tutor Lane Cove, NSW
Motivation and confidence are two key elements of student success, if I can support them in achieving a sense of self-efficacy regarding these elements, they are bound to see improvement. Students often know where they fall short in their work, they just need motivation to improve those areas. Once they know that they can achieve this themselves,…

A tutor needs to be a good role model both as a peer and a teacher. They must understand the capabilities and abilities of the students and be able to adjust their learning methods to help meet the needs of the student for them to succeed and achieve their own academic best result while helping the student shape their understanding of the world…

I believe that the tutor's purpose is not to make the student rely on them, but rather to give them the tools to figure things out for themselves. Tutors need to be able to communicate easily and coherently, in order to ensure that the student can understand. I believe I am patient and willing to work at something until the other person…

I consider empathising with the student the most important thing a tutor can do for a student. I have also been in the student's position before so I want to make my students feel that they are not alone in this and that many others also who struggle with the same issues and questions. I think that my greatest strength as a tutor is perseverance…

To make the students be clear of the basics which helps the students in the long run and also to be polite with them as not all students have the same level of understanding, and each student has different pace at which they learn so we need to give them as much time as possible to learn better. I am very patient with the children; I use different…

Inside AshfieldTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Ekam worked on fractions, including addition and multiplication, and then applied these skills to measurement topics such as distance, speed, and time using worded problems.

In Year 10, Alex tackled trigonometric equations involving multiple quadrants and explored data concepts like skewness and interpreting box plots.

For Year 12, Priya focused on integrating exponential functions as well as applying calculus to graphing tasks by finding stationary points on curves.

Recent Challenges

In Year 3, there were repeated challenges with remembering area and perimeter formulas—one session noted "despite having already written down the formula over and over again, [he] seems to be uninterested and not focused in class," which led to forgotten content week-to-week.

By Year 11, skipped steps became visible in working for median questions: a tutor remarked, "skipped steps in working here and there leading to careless mistakes."

In senior years, missed homework and reliance on tutor guidance limited independent understanding; during trigonometric identities revision (Year 12), incomplete set-out hid errors until feedback was given.

Confidence sometimes dipped after setbacks, causing quietness rather than seeking clarification.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Ashfield noticed that a Year 8 student who previously hesitated to ask for help with probability questions now speaks up as soon as he's unsure, leading him to solve more problems independently.

A Year 12 student demonstrated a real shift by revising and annotating his assignment before submission, making specific improvements based on feedback rather than submitting straight away—a big change from past rushed work.

Meanwhile, one younger student recently completed all of his homework correctly for the first time this term and was eager to show how he'd checked each answer himself.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Dorcas was brilliant. Proactive, organised with a genuine interest in Yasmin's learning. Dorcas went over and above what was required of her and for that I am very grateful. Your company has always been professional and understanding also, no complaints there whatsoever. Thank you for following up with us and perhaps another time in the future we may need your services, I wouldn't go anywhere else to find a tutor.

Thanks for your e-mail follow up! All is going well thank you with Serenity-Mae's tutorials. It has been a positive experience for her which is great!

Ryan has been great. Jordon is already understanding more of the content which is fantastic. His words were "Ryan explains things much better than my teacher, so I understand it better."

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 Ashfield Municipal Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Ashfield Public School.
