As mentioned in some of the earlier answers, I think that a tutor is not only there to impart their own knowledge, but also be there for the development of any responsibility or independence characteristics as students grow. This can include but is not limited to: confidence, tenacity, perseverance and the ability to bounce back against adversity…

Ultimately, I think a good tutor teaches the student skills that they can utilize in their general learning and subject specific study. A tutor should be in a position to be a mentor to the student and share their experience in relation to studying their subject. This can help the student overcome what can initially be a daunting task as it is a…

Patience and not comparing them with the others. I believe that each student has their own pace of learning. Lack of patience and comparing them with others will certainly hamper their learning process and will give them less confidence on their studies. Understanding the most effective way of learning for each student is also crucial. When I was…

Ensuring that they grasp the knowledge taught is the most crucial thing for me. If they are able to teach it to others, I feel that I have done my job as a tutor.

To me, the most essential role a tutor can fulfill is that of an enabler and empowerer.

What I consider to be the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to build a relationship with them. Listening to a student, assessing what areas they struggle with most, and celebrating the accomplishments they have made in their studies (whether big or small), is key in strengthening the student's trust in the tutor. In turn, this…

I excelled at my own school in English…

Inside ChatswoodTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ava practised working with fractions and finding highest common factors and lowest common multiples using number puzzles.

In Year 8, Ethan focused on solving algebraic equations and graphing linear relationships by interpreting worded problems.

For Year 10, Chloe tackled Pythagoras' theorem along with calculating the perimeter and area of circles, applying these concepts to composite shapes through targeted practice questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 Mathematics, "got lazy with working out," leading to skipped steps and careless errors—especially when handling equations. This meant extra time spent fixing mistakes instead of building confidence with new material.

For a Year 10 English essay, hesitation in forming a strong thesis and not expanding on points held back the clarity of arguments; as one tutor observed, "needs some assistance making sure points are strong and clear."

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student was forgetful about earlier concepts within the hour—struggling to recall how ordinals differ from ordering numbers during number tasks.

Recent Achievements

A Chatswood tutoring session saw a Year 10 student who used to hesitate with algebra now working through inverse operations independently and solving for x in multiple ways.

Meanwhile, a Year 9 student who often rushed writing tasks is now pausing to brainstorm ideas first, leading to stronger story structure and clearer use of literary techniques.

For a younger learner in Year 5, their tutor noticed that after struggling with fractions, the student can now confidently plot them on number lines and complete related operations without prompting—finishing all perimeter and area questions quickly by the end of the lesson.

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 Picture Willoughby—or at your child's school (with permission), like Our Lady of Dolours Catholic Primary School.
