I think the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to show them that studying can be fun. Although it can be frustrating for students to struggle at particular topics or questions, I have learnt how to make sessions less stressful by trying to use various worksheets or methods of teaching to suit the student's needs. I have also…

The most important thing is to make sure that the student has completely understood the concept. It is useless to move forward if they don't understand the basics.

According to me, a tutor should first of all make the student realise that whatever he is going to teach is not hard but its very easy and try to make the concept simple that students who are weak in studies also understands it quickly. I have a friendly nature and try to make myself always available for my students. Even after clearing the…

I believe tutors need to understand their students, given that not all individuals hold the same skills or pace of learning and as such, need to be taken into consideration or have the lesson plans catered to their needs. Tutors must, nonetheless, put in large amounts of effort to ensure the student receives and understands theory that is taught,…

Listen. Students often feel overwhelmed and are unable to understand content because they don’t feel they are truly being listened to - something I relate to as a former student, and can easily combat by employing listening as paramount. I am incredibly patient and able to vary my methods of communication to connect with divergent personalities.…

I believe that teaching students a healthy mentality towards work and study is essential. No student is stupid and bad marks don't reflect idiocy - instead, they reflect a willingness to work hard. Anyone with a true desire to do well and the motivation to put that desire into action will work hard and do well - we need to emphasise this to…

Inside VillawoodTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Adam worked on adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators, as well as converting improper fractions to mixed numbers.

In Year 9, Sarah practised solving linear equations and inequalities, using graphing techniques to visualise solutions.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Jacob focused on surds and indices—including rationalisation—and tackled probability problems under exam-style conditions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student repeatedly left homework incomplete, which led to confusion with formula recall during volume and area tasks; "she does not do her homework on the regular—this results in a lack of memory pegs," noted one tutor.

In Year 10, another student relied heavily on their calculator for basic arithmetic in algebra questions, missing opportunities to build mental fluency.

For a senior student working through complex surds and indices problems, unclear written working made it difficult to spot errors or understand reasoning upon review. This often resulted in extra time spent deciphering steps instead of progressing with revision.

Recent Achievements

One Villawood tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to ask questions—she now regularly pauses mid-problem to check her understanding, instead of pushing through in silence.

In Year 11 chemistry, another student made clear progress moving from confusion about endothermic and exothermic reactions to confidently explaining the difference and identifying examples on their own during revision.

Meanwhile, a primary school student who struggled with division last term has started memorising key steps and can now complete short division problems independently without prompts from the tutor.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Your Tutor was great and even took the time to phone Glen's teacher to discuss areas where he was having problems so he could work on it him.   He was great and I would recommend him in a heart beat.

Natalie is really good and reliable. Cheryl is actually enjoying her tutor lessons with Natalie and looks forward to them. I actually was watching them for a bit during one lesson and I have to say, the way Natalie tutors is quite impressive. I have no negative feedback about her. Really appreciate your help in finding a good tutor for my sister :)

Jacqueline is really enjoying having Denise as her tutor.  She finds Denise's manner and approach to tutoring very good.  Jacqueline said it has made a great difference in her knowledge, understanding and confidence.

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 Chester Hill Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School.
