I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is help the student understand a topic. This may sound intuitive however it is often majorly overlooked and replaced with acceptance or shear memorisation for the student. What I want is for my students is a true understanding of the subject, giving them the tools of learning so that they can…

The tutor must understand the student. Some students try really hard to learn but may fail to show successful results. The tutor must understand this, assure the student that he/she is making progress, and guide the student every inch of the way. Second, the tutor must consider the pursuits of the students as his/her own personal endeavor as…

I consider being empathetic and adaptive for students is highly important. Being empathetic of your students struggles and not putting them down for not understanding is the most important thing a tutor can do for them to ensure they feel comfortable and confident in their learning. Adaptability is also a key component for a tutor as not every…

I believe the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to build their confidence, tailor lessons to their unique learning style, and create a supportive environment where they feel comfortable asking questions.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be patient yet match the student's learning pace. Every student is different and it is the tutors' responsibility to recognize this and adhere to students learning patterns. If a student is struggling with a certain concept, I would try review this more often during the term and if the…

I believe that tutors and teachers alike are not endless sources of book knowledge but rather a librarian who must guide students to discover, interpret and apply knowledge for themselves. Thus, it is crucial that a tutor forms a strong relationship with its students to create an environment where student learning is maximised. Further, in…

Personalisation. In a classroom, the teacher's attention is divided and the material needs to be taught in ways that the majority understands. However, each student understands and learns differently so having it taylored to the individual (figuring out what they know, what they don't know and what they misunderstood) builds the foundation of…

Help them to understand that they can learn. That they understand that teaching is one aspect of the education process and the other is learning. That all students have the capacity to learn especially if the teacher is prepared to apply their best effort to offering those students a way to understand the information. This can be assisted if both…

A tutor is a guide to show the right path. Students might stumble a lot, but tutor should hold him up, stand by him and show the right direction. Never giving up on a student, looking for opportunities to advance their skill is what a tutor should always do. I try to explain things from the student's perspective. For example, a gamer might…

Inside Chatswood WestTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Hugh practised long multiplication and division, and explored number divisibility rules for 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, and 9 through step-by-step examples.

For Year 8, Ethan worked on solving simultaneous equations and reviewed Pythagoras' theorem while tackling mixed algebraic problems from a practice test.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ava focused on graphing quadratic functions and reinforced her understanding of function notation in preparation for an upcoming assessment.

Recent Challenges

Homework completion and organization emerged as concerns for both primary and high school students.

For example, a Year 7 student only partially completed set homework, making it harder to build momentum between lessons ("the tutor will send the homework more in advance for future lessons").

In Year 11 Maths, one student forgot last week's homework entirely, leading to gaps in algebra and probability revision.

Exam anxiety stood out at senior levels: "Gemma gets stuck in her head under examination conditions," causing recall issues even when content was known.

A Year 10 struggled with time management during tests, repeating mistakes instead of correcting them on the spot.

Recent Achievements

A Chatswood West tutor recently noticed Ziggy now tackles correlation and regression questions with real confidence after previously hesitating to try more complex problems—he even chose to attempt extra linear equation tasks on his own.

Another win came from Finn in Year 9, who used to make frequent careless errors but has noticeably reduced these while learning new trigonometry concepts not yet covered at school.

In primary, Lucas has started completing his homework independently and attempted new mean/median/mode questions without waiting for prompts, showing far more initiative than before.

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 West Chatswood Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Aurora College.
