To me, the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to be firm but patient, and to allow them to solve problems/formulate ideas themselves, not just be fed information to rote-learn. I believe this style of educating enables students to develop their own confidence as they actually understand what they’re doing, not just taking a…

I think the most important things a tutor can do for a student are listening to them and paying attention to their needs. Students can be shy and may not make it abundantly clear what they need in any given moment, but there are usually signs, though they may be subtle. It is a tutor's job to monitor the student throughout a lesson and make sure…

I believe that is essential for a tutor to establish and master the “groundwork’’ and fundamental concepts with the students before moving on to more complicated concepts. For subjects like Mathematics and Physics, new knowledge is very commonly built on knowledge that you have learnt before. As a result, tutors need to make sure that…

The important things a tutor can do for their students include making the subject enjoyable and empowering students to reach a point from where they can arrive at solutions on their own. The first and foremost task for tutors is to make the subject more enjoyable than what the students perceive it to be. Once the students start enjoying the…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is be supportive. All behaviour is belief driven, if a tutor convinces a pupil that he can do it, he will. I believe I am calm, patient, persevering, and supportive. Especially when it comes to perseverance, I will not be deterred if a student doesn't originally understand my explanations as, if I…

1. Revise fundamental concepts as they are essential to solve more complex problems. 2. Always break down the question before trying to solve problems. This makes the problem become simpler to solve and stimulates recall of the basic concepts that they have learnt before. 3. Always summarise what has been learnt as this helps to consolidate…

The most important things that a tutor can do for a student, in my opinion, are motivating the students to learn on their own as well as arming them with the tools and study skills. The motivation to learn is critical, since the tutor can teach the material, but at the end of the day, it is the student who has to master it. Without such…

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.
