Tutor Smithfield, NSW
The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to not only nurture them through the subject, but also in life in general. Not only the tutor should help them with the subject, but help them grow as a more mature individual and guide them to reach their dreams and goals in life. My strength as a tutor is communication and how I interact…

Tutor Smithfield, NSW
As a tutor for a student what I found to be most important is the idea of building confidence in a student. All students are capable of learning and being able to gain the marks they desire, but its always certain small events that ruin their momentum, or just the lack of motivation or even succumbing to the fear of doing bad. However If a tutor…

Persistence and patience to work at the level and pace of the students. It's important to tailor the explanations and optimise exercises so that the students are not overwhelmed.

Provide some form of feedback to students on the way they are tackling certain questions, done by identifying their strengths/weaknesses and giving them areas they could improve on. Also, i believe a tutor should also be there to help ensure that all students' mental wellbeing is understood and provide support to those who need it, because…

In my opinion, one of the most important things a tutor can and should do is to understand the student. Being able to tailor the student's tutoring sessions in order to incorporate connections to the student's interests and play to their strengths is a quality all good tutors should have. Another very important thing a tutor can do is to maintain…

To not show them the answer straight away. Push the student to understand what they are doing, and use the knowledge that they have learnt to solve the problem. There is no point in getting a question wrong, looking at the answer and saying 'I will do that next time'. It is essential that they can do the questions individually and confidently. I…

I don't hope to replace the school teachers completely. However 1 to 1 and smaller group engagements would help put in a more personal touch that would minimize the weakness of the student, bring the best out of them and build character (patience, resilience, analytical thinking) to supplement them to succeed in their education journey Analytical…

I believe a tutor can offer a student so much more that just knowledge; the encouragement of a tutor can unlock a student’s potential and lead them towards consistent success. Tutoring sessions can make a student feel heard and understood which is so important in a student’s journey through self discovery in their schooling years. As a tutor,…

Because once they see how relevant those ideas are in our world today, then they'll remember it. I like to ask meaningful questions, questions which reveal to me the students perspective…

I believe a tutor imparts part of his or her knowledge to the student. However, it does not stop with just knowledge. I personally feel that a tutor can instill passion and confidence to a student. This would definitely help a student later in the student's career. A tutor can as well, teach a student how to love a certain subject and how to be…

Inside SmithfieldTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Andrew focused on different strategies for 2- and 3-digit subtraction, tackled word problems involving working backwards, and explored the length topic by comparing units like millimetres, centimetres, and metres.

In Year 10, Judy revised solving algebraic equations with brackets on both sides and worked through algebraic fraction equations using step-by-step examples.

A Year 11 student spent sessions practising financial maths calculations including overtime pay and commission, then moved on to income tax and simple interest using real-world wage scenarios.

Recent Challenges

Homework completion and organization were ongoing concerns across several high school years.

In Year 10, a student admitted to rushing algebraic fractions homework minutes before the session, leaving half unfinished.

Another in Year 11 did not attempt trigonometry homework at all, forgetting key ratios when revisiting material.

Fatigue and lack of focus recurred—"was very tired during this lesson and lost focus multiple times," read one note for a senior maths student struggling with equations previously mastered.

Another Year 9 scenario showed reliance on online answers rather than personal effort.

Gaps in revision habits often left students underprepared for unexpected tests.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Smithfield recently noticed a Year 8 student who used to hesitate asking for help now openly asks questions when stuck, instead of guessing through his algebra homework.

A high schooler who previously struggled with trigonometric ratios managed to complete his latest homework almost error-free and formatted his answers neatly without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who found number line problems tricky last week was able to independently solve "in between" questions for her current homework.

In one session, a senior student finished all ten equations on the worksheet without repeating earlier mistakes.

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 St Gertrude's Catholic Primary School.
