I think the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to have them gain confidence with themselves in terms of excelling in school. I think this confidence is important in not just getting high marks in quizzes and tests, but I believe that being confident will help them long-term in solving problems not just in school, even though…

To be attentive and to address the students personal needs for growth. The tutor should set an ideal example in terms of behaviour motivation and actions- one which a student should be able to look up to but also resonate with. This allows him to engage with the student at a personal level and provide better more relatable academic support, but…

Just being a support for the student in question.

Although high results is a must, tutors should also respect or accept what students may want to gain out of their HSC marks. We cannot force students to learn but making the content more interesting will help motivate those who struggle to grasp the concept. The key point is that after every session, the student can leave knowing that they have…

One of the most important things tutor can do for a student is provide them with a lot of feedbacks as well as lots of revision. It is from feedback that students understand where they have been going wrong and how to improve on it. Revision is essential because knowing content is one thing, learning to apply them is another. From experience, I…

Nowadays, a student's passion for a particular subject dwindles as they go further and further into their high school career. This may be due to external factors such as pressure or…

Be honest. It is very important for a tutor to be honest in their responses. Secondly, the language the teacher uses has great impact on the students.

Local Reviews

Sam has been an excellent, kind, understanding and patient tutor with Gabriella. Under his guidance she has made improvements in her outcomes and study habits in spite of her great difficulties with the subject. She had gone from a fail grade to a pass mark and has steadily applied herself more consistently to regular study thanks to Sam. We have nothing but praise for his abilities.

Inside Fairfield WestTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Elizabeth revised surds and indices in preparation for an upcoming test, focusing on simplifying expressions and practicing key skills.

Year 8 student Elena worked through interpreting column graphs in data topics and practiced simplifying algebraic expressions by collecting like terms.

For Year 9, Jacob focused on solving equations with variables on both sides and expanded to equations involving brackets, using worked examples for clarity.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student arrived unprepared for a school test, only discovering it during class—this lack of organization meant key revision was missed and results suffered.

For a Year 8 student, homework was attempted just minutes before the session, with half forgotten and focus fading throughout; as one tutor put it, "he was very tired during the whole lesson."

In Year 6, skipping working steps and jumping straight to answers led to basic calculation errors in division tasks.

Meanwhile, a primary student avoided multiplication altogether due to not memorizing times tables, often leaving gaps when faced with these questions.

Recent Achievements

One Fairfield West tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 9 student who, after often hesitating to ask for help, now comfortably asks clarifying questions when confused—something he rarely did before.

In Year 11, another student began catching and correcting her own mistakes in scientific notation, quickly adopting new problem-solving techniques instead of repeating errors.

Meanwhile, a younger primary school student surprised her tutor by independently re-opening her notebook during fractions work to check past lessons for help—showing new initiative she hadn't demonstrated before.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Very happy - Su is a very good tutor and we're very happy with the tutoring thus far.

We're very happy with Kritika. Ella has taken to her easily and is really enjoying the work. I'm feeling very optimistic.

After the last session Mia said she was happy with Sam and didn't want to change to anyone else. Sam is very bright and Mia will never be an advanced Maths student but they seem to have worked out how to communicate and that just builds her confidence so she doesn't see a difficult question and get overwhelmed. Sam is also very punctual and communicates well with us as well. Even the dog likes him now.

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 Smithfield Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Westfields Sports High School.
