Dylan
Tutor Fairfield, VIC
One of the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to get to know them well, so they can understand where the student is at in terms of their learning, and what way they learn best. This can allow me as a tutor to effectively use my skills and knowledge in the best way to help each individual student get the most out of their…

Koen
Tutor Fairfield, VIC
I believe this varies with the student's age and the goal of tutoring. For younger high-school students, the most important thing is guiding them through the subject/s they find tricky, to develop academic confidence and inspire an intrinsically motivated learner. However, with senior high-school students seeking to maximize their ATAR or other…

I believe there are two important things a tutor can do. First, it is to help the student achieve their immediate goal, which may be to pass a class, or achieve a grade that allows them to get into the university they want. The second, is to inspire people, to see and be exposed to things they otherwise wouldn't, this can change peoples lives in…

Sean
Tutor Northcote, VIC
A good tutor should be able to clearly explain concepts and methods to their students, and should be able to answer any questions a student has and be prepared before the tutoring session for these questions. A good tutor should give the confidence and tools for a student to succeed independently. I think I have a strong knowledge of the VCE…

I think one of the most important things that a tutor can do for a student is to instil confidence within them.

Without the belief that they have the skills and resources to succeed in any aspect they desire, students can be left…

The most important thing a tutor can do for their student is teach them how to teach themselves.

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to provide them with the tools to be able to confidently work through academic problems on their own.

Local Reviews
Inside FairfieldTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 6 student Daniel revised index laws and logarithmic functions, focusing on simplifying expressions and using worked examples.
In Year 10, Emily practised sketching curves of quartic and cubic functions as well as reviewing plans for next year's topics.
Meanwhile, Year 11 student Jack explored integration by recognition and definite integrals, applying these skills to area under curves with step-by-step guidance.
Recent Challenges
A Year 8 student struggled with interpreting worded questions in maths, often feeling stuck before the process "clicked." As a tutor noted, "she needs a lot of work on interpreting worded questions," leading to hesitation and incomplete answers.
In VCE Maths Methods (Year 11), another student was visibly unconfident despite correct working, pausing with "I don't know" even when on track—this self-doubt slowed progress and led to unnecessary rechecking.
Meanwhile, in Year 4 arithmetic, one child showed reluctance to attempt multiplication problems independently, sometimes saying they "can't be bothered," which meant fewer chances to reinforce number sense during practice.
Recent Achievements
A Fairfield tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 9 student who, after initially finding bearings problems confusing, now approaches them independently and solves worded simultaneous equations without needing guidance.
In Year 10, another student who used to hesitate with worded questions is now able to break down linear rule problems clearly and even constructs formulas on her own during lessons.
Meanwhile, one of the younger students has become much more comfortable with long division; after working through examples together, she now completes similar problems confidently by herself.

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 Fairfield Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Fairfield Primary School.
