Role of tutor is not to make a student learn single subject, but understand students' learning rhythm and motivations.

This question need to be discussed into two solutions. First, for the lower grade student, it is essential for them to build up their interest towards maths, which will help them to be better off in the future. On the other hand, for the student who are preparing for their VCE, the tutor should focus more how to improve their grade in order to get…

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.
