One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to place their complete faith in them. A tutor needs to have a mutual trust with their student, in the completion of homework and revision tasks for example. Many students lack confidence or may come from a background where they don't believe they have a lot of support academically.…

A few of the important things a tutor can do for a student is to care, understand and support. Although a tutor may have an incredible breadth of knowledge, it is the way that they deliver this knowledge that is key. Firstly, they need to care and understand the student's level and ability to learn and process information. As much as delivering…

I think it is important to build a strong relationship with with my students. This way, it allows the students to feel comfortable to ask me questions if they are unsure of anything. I think it is also important to make sessions interactive to make sure that the students are fully engaged to ensure that they make the most out of the sessions. It…

I believe a tutor can prepare interactive lectures, so that students can participate in the lectures. That technique is very helpful to get the maximum attention of the students. Moreover, a tutor can provide real life example of the topics so that students can easily relate the study contents with the real world. I can easily get synchronized…

The number one rule that I tutor by is to never give a student an answer. I believe its crucial for the student to work towards an answer with guidance from their tutor, this enables them to learn from their mistakes and understand the process to a solution themselves, rather than being handed the solution on a plate by their tutor. I believe it…

Helping them to develop their own learning style, or styles, to perform in a variety of circumstances is one of the most critical things a tutor can impart on a student. Examinations and content will never be delivered in the exact same way, so providing students with the means to navigate the ambiguities of examination and focus purely on the…

I consider patience to be the most important virtue in a tutor, setting small checkpoints between certain topics is a good strategy. A tutor should always pause and ask if the student has any questions or doubts about the concept. A tutor should make the student feel comfortable around them and they should not hesitate to ask any questions - no…

There are 2 things at the crux of what tutors should do for students. 1) Instilling confidence in themselves. A student will not learn if they are discouraged and apprehensive about their abilities - they need to feel supported and this can be done through praise and making 'light' of the task. 2) Equipping students with skills. The phrase "Method…

Work to build up the student's confidence. This can be done by teaching them not just how to study for a test, but how to understand the test's content.

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.
