Build their knowledge, fill in the gaps and take them to where they need to be. I am patient and focused and sometimes if a student doesn\'t understand something, I know it may relate to some foundational knowledge the student does not have. so I try to fill in the gaps before I proceed. For eg a student can\'t understand what is a 2% debenture if…

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…

Additionally, a tutor should take responsibility to maintain a good command of the subject area…

The most important thing which a tutor can do for a student is to make him understand the concept instead of just showing him how to solve the problems.

A tutor could help the student reach his or her goal. Help them gain the required knowledge through various tasks. But the most important thing would be to provide a logical and sensible direction in which the student could continue.

Build up a connection with the student. This is really important because students generally tend to listen to teachers who work according to their preferences.

Working at the students' pace, and incorporating their learning styles is one of the most important things a tutor can do. It is important to separate school learning and tutoring, and work to build upon the specific students' skills instead of catering to a group at one time.

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.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I am very happy so far with Joseph who has started teaching Thomas. He is keen to work with him and seems to be enjoying their sessions

Pippa is very happy with Dexter. Her tutoring style is very effective and Pippa had excellent results in her mid-year exams.

Sam's first session with Wahidah went really well. He really liked her and responded well to her teaching.

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.
