I think the most important thing for a tutor would be to make sure they do are willing to adapt and change the methods they use dependent on the students particular needs and skillset. As well as this I think that holding the child accountable and checking up on their work is important to ensure they are not just ignoring the topic until the…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is help students build confidence in their own abilities. Beyond just improving grades, a tutor should encourage independent thinking, provide clear guidance, and create a positive environment where students feel supported. Good communication, consistency, and adapting to the student’s learning…

Provide learning opportunities in a motivational manner. It is one thing to present a student with information and expect them to memorise it. But it is another thing to actually teach a student and develop their passion for the subject. I am an extremely patient person who is very considerate and approachable.

Motivate them to study.

The first and most obvious role of a tutor is to explain concepts and teach a student. They can guide the student and show them the path. However, it is ultimately up to the student to complete their own studies. I feel that another major role of a tutor is also to act as a mentor. In current times, a tutor may interact frequently with a student…

I think the most important things are attention, patience and understanding.

One of the most important things for a tutor to do is to inspire their student and give them the satisfaction of completing a question / essay rather than to write it for them or do it yourself.

Aside for the tutor to be skilled in the subject they are teaching, I additionally think it's really important for the tutor to establish a good and non judgemental relationship with the student and the parents.

I think the most important thing would be to truly listen to a student, not only to hear him/her, but to actually listen. Indeed, I believe a student will never improve if they don't want to. Thus, I think it is the tutor's duty to make the student interested in the subject, to make it fun and as easy as possible, and that goes through the…

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.
