I believe that a tutor should be patient and focus on the things that students are struggling with. I also believe that practice makes perfect! Instead of memorisations that can be mundane for a student, I believe that it is a tutor's job to make a student's work exciting, ensuring that they are always curious and willing to learn. It is also very…

I believe in teaching the students skills more than information. The saying goes, if you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime, which is very close to my heart. I want my students to understand the problem and critically think about solutions rather than trying to copy-paste from memory.…

One of the most important things a tutor can do, other than assisting them to excel in all areas of learning is to instil them with the confidence to learn. This is crucial as it allows students to believe that school work/learning is to be something that is fun rather than a “chore†or boring. Once this occurs, the student begins to engage…

As a tutor, it is your obligation to teach in a way that your pupil develops a passion for the topic he is learning. There is nothing worst than somebody who is bored while learning.

It is essential that the student feels comfortable learning, and as a tutor I think it is our job to achieve this. Not only should the student feel relaxed while in class, they should start to gain interest in what they are learning.

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.
