A tutor/ teacher is not only responsible for bridging the gap a student has in his or her studies; but also, to inspire the student to become a better version of themselves so as to reach their full potential in their lives. A tutor is also a mentor who guides students both academically and personally by helping them overcome their innate fears…

Be approachable that way the students feel comfortable askinng questions when they don't understand something. That is what I feel is the most important as well as having a good understanding of the content. My relatability as I myself was tutored a lot growing up so I would have an understanding of what they students are experiencing. I also feel…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to build their confidence and help them become independent, capable learners. Rather than simply giving answers, a good tutor teaches students how to think critically, ask questions, and work through challenges on their own. It’s about creating a space where they feel safe to…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to empathise. It’s essential to understand how a student feels—whether it’s about the content itself or the teaching style being used. A tutor who can step into a student’s shoes is better able to identify their struggles, adapt their approach, and create a supportive learning…

I consider patience to be an incredible skill for tutoring and most teaching jobs as it may or may not take time to reach the students. And when it does take time it is important to understand that the communication maybe blurred, thus it takes reinterpreting what was said maybe many times to reach the student. My strength would be considered my…

I think the most important thing would be to show students that education is fun, it should never be boring. A good teacher should be able to explain and teach in a fun and intuitive way. My key strengths would be my technical knowledge and being able to understand not each student is alike, not each student learns the same way. Therefore…

I think the most important a tutor can do for a student is to get to know and read them perfectly. This allows a tutor to know exactly what a student needs to excel, help them set realistic goals and knowing not only when to help but also when not to help, rather letting the student try and solve a complex question themselves without interference.…

Working according to the student whatever works for them,…

A tutor should be able to help clear each and every notion that the student has about a certain topic. They should not get tired of explaining concepts on repeat. A good tutor should always be consistent and take note of what their student does. They should regularly follow up on lesson plans and make sure that the student is not burdened by any…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to ensure that the child fully understands the lesson, and finds purpose in it. The student should not only study it because it is a requirement, but because they find it interesting, This I believe is a very crucial task for tutors. If a child is passionate about a subject, they will automatically study…

So as such, if the tutor can enable a…

Inside Catherine FieldTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Lily worked on identifying factor pairs and practiced multiplication drills to build number fluency.

In Year 9, Ibrahim focused on solving linear equations and practiced more advanced Pythagoras' theorem problems, including rearranging equations and multiplying negative numbers.

Meanwhile, Year 12 Kris dedicated time to HSC English essay writing, analyzing film studies and refining written responses using past exam questions as practice.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10, one student's statistics test showed that incomplete revision—mainly revisiting easier problems and neglecting trickier, data-based questions—left gaps in exam performance. As a tutor observed, "he needed more practice with interpreting graphs under timed conditions."

For a Year 11 English task, feedback wasn't fully integrated into subsequent essay drafts; structuring and use of formal language remained inconsistent even after teacher notes were shared.

Meanwhile, in Year 8 maths, an over-reliance on calculator use for basic multiplication slowed progress when tackling non-calculator sections. In the moment, this led to uncertainty and last-minute corrections during tests.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Catherine Field noticed a Year 11 student who'd previously rushed through maths problems is now breaking down financial maths questions step by step, double-checking answers with a calculator instead of guessing.

In Year 9 English, one student who used to struggle with essay planning now independently identifies key film themes and takes detailed notes for exam prep—showing new initiative during sessions.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student has moved from hesitating over two-digit subtraction to completing these sums smoothly and even explaining the "friends of 20" strategy out loud before finishing their homework early.

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 Narellan Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Gledswood Hills Public School.
