I would consider skills such as organisation, critical thinking and problem solving strategies to be the most valuable takeaways for the student, especially since the skills will always be useful long-term. I also think a tutor should be able to build up their student's growth mindset, giving the students the mentality and confidence to grow even…

I think the most important thing for a tutor is the ability to allow the student to improve exponentially whilst enjoying what they are learning, because from my experience, once I have understood and learnt a concept, applying and solving problems become much easier and fun in a way. I believe not only providing answers, but instead guiding a…

Identifying the best technique to teach the student is the best thing a tutor can do. Students learn much faster when they are taught according to their methods of learning. Identifying the right technique to teach will lead to the student identifying the perfect technique to study in the presence or absence of a tutor. I have had enough…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to share their passion for learning, helping them view education as an exciting adventure rather than just another task.

It is so important for tutors to adapt their method of teaching to the way the student learns. Every student not only has different needs and difficulties, but learns concepts differently. It is extremely important to regularly re-evaluate the student's objectives. Modifying your approach as a tutor to make the student feel comfortable and…

First and foremost, helping them score well for the examinations they are going to sit for.

No matter which subject the student is learning, s/he needs to know why s/he needs to learn it. Recently, Diane Tavenner, the innovator of American education encourages students to learn whatever they want by asking them to solve problem by themselves. In the field of applied linguistics, we call it 'boost input by producing output'. I believe…

Local Reviews

We are very pleased with the tutoring and Nafuil is a very pleasant young man and easy to talk to. I was a bit concerned that Autumn might be a bit shy with him but she really likes him and all is well. Nafiul has advised that Autumn only has small gaps in her knowledge and he is assisting her with gaining this knowledge.

Inside ChifleyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Alex worked on multiplying and dividing fractions as well as tackling perimeter and area problems using geometry diagrams.

For Year 8, Sarah focused on expanding brackets in algebra and practiced solving inequalities by graphing them.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student James reviewed trigonometry basics including the sine and cosine rules, and applied these concepts to exam-style questions for extra practice.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student struggled with organizing their working in algebra—"setting out still needs work"—which led to errors being missed during multi-step questions.

In Year 11, anxiety and lack of confidence surfaced; the student hesitated to communicate assessment deadlines until the last minute, leaving no time for support.

Another senior student's exam answers lacked structure and detail, even after targeted feedback.

In a Year 10 science task, reading questions carefully was overlooked, so critical information was missed when analysing results.

The gap between intention and follow-through grew wider as stress mounted before deadlines.

Recent Achievements

One Chifley tutor noticed a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to ask questions now openly seeks clarification when tackling algebra problems, leading her to independently solve equations she once found daunting.

A high school student recently managed to complete each maths question in under two minutes—a big step up from his earlier struggles with focus and time management, especially after finding that ambient music helped him concentrate.

In a primary session, a younger learner who'd mixed up perimeter and area before is now confidently calculating both for composite shapes without prompting.

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 Malabar Community Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Chifley Public School.
