I think the most important skills a tutor can do for student is to be patience and communicate. Understand student about their difficulties. Since I am dealing with students and their weaknesses, I must be patient regardless of the circumstances. Also, the only way to do my job as a tutor is to convey difficult information to students through…

Tutors, teachers, mentors have this power that they get to shape the mind of the students, and hence I think the most important thing a tutor can do is be mindful of the fact that each student learns differently, thus to be patient with them and make sure they are moving in the right direction. I am very patient with students and yet I am not…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to motivate their students. As they are still young, they may not understand the importance of what they are doing at school. Which is why as tutor we have to motivate them such that they are able to look at their school work in a different perspective such that it is interesting and exciting to them. My…

I believe ultimately, the most important thing a tutor can do is to create an environment where when asked "Do you understand?", the student feels free to say "Nope". This honesty is priceless and very helpful in identifying knowledge-gaps early. I pride myself on being patient. I was a slow learner, and often had questions which were ignored or…

I think enthusiasm is important - I have found in my own studies that when someone isn't enthusiastic about what they are teaching, it can easily dampen one's own ability to take on information. As i mentioned, being patient and encouraging is key to making students feel confident in their learning. Finally, being organised so that when the lesson…

Think to pass the belief that the student can achieve the goal. It is just the matter of working hard and maybe trying different approach. And also not comparing yourself to other students, because everyone is unique.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to promote confidence in a student. After a tutoring session, the goal should not be for a student to be able to complete their homework. Instead, the student should gain an understanding of the topic such that they can complete future coursework without the help of a tutor. If that…

Shaneel made a great first impression with my son, Jack. Jack maintained his level of interest and concentration throughout the hour session (which we were surprised at as this is often a problem for him!) and he is already looking forward to his next session with him.

Inside HaberfieldTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Billy focused on multiplication strategies in maths and improved reading comprehension by discussing short texts together.

For Year 10, Sulaiman worked through analysis of the film Billy Elliot, identifying cinematic techniques for his English assignment, and practiced applying algebraic methods to his ongoing maths assignment.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Maya tackled logarithmic functions and index laws, reviewing key steps using targeted exam-style questions to consolidate understanding.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 English, one student did not complete assigned homework, limiting their progress in written expression and critical thinking. "He needs to complete the homework I set him so that he develops the skill of expressing himself," a tutor noted.

For a Year 10 Film Studies class, another student struggled with interpreting symbolism and film techniques but avoided asking clarifying questions, leading to repeated confusion when analysing scenes.

Meanwhile, in Year 12 Mathematics, over-reliance on calculators meant steps for logarithmic proofs were skipped—errors went unnoticed until marked work was returned. This left students unsure about where their reasoning broke down during exams.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Haberfield noticed Sulaiman, a senior student, taking real initiative with his film analysis—he's now making points without prompts and even brought extra notes from home to discuss.

Another high schooler, Isabella, had previously struggled with the polar form of complex numbers but was able to explain her reasoning out loud this week after some guided practice.

For a younger learner, Chloe has shifted from guessing answers on her reading tasks to pausing and sounding out unfamiliar words carefully; today she finished an entire comprehension worksheet independently for the first time.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We are very happy with Katie and her style. She is giving Blythe confidence and this week Blythe has completed her homework with much less assistance!

Sessions are going really well. Hasnat and Charlotte are building a good rapport. She is very happy with the sessions, and they are communicating well. So all good!

Lille has taken well to tutoring so far and Jackie is a great match for Lille so we are happy.

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 Haberfield Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Joan of Arc Catholic Primary School.
