a student always goes to a tutor when they find that they need some extra bit. so a tutor must see what that 'extra bit' is? is it time? is it the base knowledge of student, or is it something to do with his style of processing the information. or may be something else. but a tutor must understand the overall demand of the tutoring class and…

It is to emphatize and to have patience with the student. Not everyone has the same learning curve. Other people learn faster than the others. It is common to get frustrated when your student is not understanding what you are trying to teach him/her, however, do not let your students feel and see that. It may not only hurt their self-confidence…

A tutor's role goes beyond simply teaching subject matter. In addition to imparting knowledge, tutors help build a student's confidence in the subject, enhance their analytical and creative thinking, improve problem-solving abilities, and even contribute to the development of the student's personality in ways that are within the tutor's scope.…

That is because my belief is that by understanding the concept rather than memorising, you are less likely to forget how to do the question in the exam and/or get a mind blank As a tutor, I think my strengths would be…

A tutor can make use of the two kinds of experience he/she has.

Secondly his experience as a tutor means a patient engagement with his student, where in the…

As tutors, we should provide a safe space for students that would make them realise that it is okay to make a mistake. Next, we should also make students feel that they can achieve their academic goals. Continuously giving them positive feedback is helpful as well because it would motivate them to work harder. And lastly, as tutors, we should…

Inside ShalveyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Riley worked on solving inequalities and explored gradients in linear equations, practicing graphing techniques.

For Year 9, Sarah tackled simultaneous equations using both substitution and elimination methods, then moved on to a chapter review focusing on BODMAS and fraction operations.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ethan concentrated on calculus skills—specifically differentiation—and also reviewed function properties by working through targeted exam-style questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student struggled to focus during exams, leading to "a lot of careless mistakes"—missing marks in questions he otherwise understood.

In Year 7, one student overcomplicated simple fraction problems and sometimes forgot basic steps after missing class from an injury; this made catching up slower.

For a Year 8 learner, confusion with shape reflections grew each time the mirror line moved, leaving him frustrated mid-task.

Across multiple high school years, incomplete tutor homework was noted: "Requesting more consistency in completing tutor homework," which meant missed chances for targeted feedback before tests.

Recent Achievements

One Shalvey tutor noticed a Year 11 student stopped relying on graphing software for linear equations and now completes classwork on time—a big shift from earlier habits of hesitancy.

Another high schooler, previously making small errors with negative numbers, has recently shown real progress mastering mean, median, and mode; he even solved a harder median problem without needing hints.

In a primary session, Musawer—who often guessed angles before—now confidently adds them up independently and explains his steps out loud during practice.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I would like to say that Sultan was a fantastic tutor for Daniel and I feel sad to have to end the tutoring with him. In the short time that he was tutoring Daniel, Daniel learnt a lot in maths. Could you please let Sultan know and please let him know how happy I was with him as a tutor for Daniel.

Vibhuti has been good so far, very nice and punctual. My daughter seems to get along with her well and I imagine they will get more productive as the time passes.

So far, so good with Jie tutoring Charlie. Jie is professional, organised, and has warm and friendly nature.

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 Mt Druitt Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Chifley College Shalvey Campus.
