I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is leave the client with a feeling of achievement, that they have gained a new, reinforced or re-established understanding of things they may have been uncertain or unaware about.

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.
