The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is make sure that the student understands the concepts thoroughly. Not just a few questions or math problems, but the concept is the most important to get through. As a tutor it's a crucial job to make a base for the student, as this is the foundation for the student which needs to be really…

the most important thing is to be approachable to students. A tutor should not have a barrier which could act as a wall between the tutor and students. he/she should be passionate about learning new things and passing them to their students. My passion and my discipline is my biggest strength. I am calm and approachable around students and I…

I've always been hesitant to answer questions in class because I feared being wrong. At home when my parents asked me that same question, I answered without the fear of being wrong. I strongly believe that it's important for the tutor to motivate the student to be confident and answer irrespective of the answer being right or wrong. Students are…

In my view, the most important things a tutor can do is to build a positive relationship with a student which is the key to become an effective teacher. This is important because it is impossible to engage a student into learning without building a positive rapport with them. The other important thing is to always encourage them to keep trying and…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to improve their relationship with studying to the point where it does not seem like a chore or a less pleasurable way to spend time. I find that there is often a lot of pressure, stress and negative emotions associated with grades, and it detracts from the journey of learning. By creating…

To be attentive and to address the students personal needs for growth.

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…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to enrich their understanding and reinvigorate or catalyze a passion in a particular subject. 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…

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.
