To be attentive and to address the students personal needs for growth. The tutor should set an ideal example in terms of behaviour motivation and actions- one which a student should be able to look up to but also resonate with. This allows him to engage with the student at a personal level and provide better more relatable academic support, but…

I believe it is important for tutors to build students' confidence and boost their self-esteem. It is important to acknowledge that a student is doing well when they truly are; to encourage them to be resilient when it gets tough. This way students are able to conquer any challenge without fear which enables them to learn more effectively. This…

One of the most important things when tutoring is to maxmise your effort to help a student in any way possible, without actually doing an assignment/answering the question for them.

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…

Be honest. It is very important for a tutor to be honest in their responses. Secondly, the language the teacher uses has great impact on the students.

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.
