I consider the transference of inspiration to the student to be the most important and fulfilling thing a tutor can achieve. From inspiration births a work ethic, an attitude and an independence within the student that carries through their whole life. I believe that as an individual, you are your own CEO, CMO, CFO etc. As such, by teaching the…

A tutor should always appear calm and patient, providing the student with encouragement and support. This is to ensure the tutor does not cause any additional counterproductive stress to the student. However, a tutor should be honest to a student with the work to be done, as only then will the student gain the quality service they deserve. A…

I believe it is extremely important for a tutor to have similar hobbies or experiences to the student so that the student feels comfortable and safe by taking out the power balance many often feel between their tutor or teacher. This also helps as content taught in our sessions will flow better, and create more engagement from the student. Having…

When I went to school, I recall that a lot of the subjects that I took particular interest in were due to the quality of instruction from the teacher. My belief is that children are naturally inquisitive and therefore it is important for a teacher / tutor to tap into that potential by employing the right style of communication, presentation and…

I believe the most important asset a tutor can have is the ability to listen. Student's often come to tutors with different intentions in mind, some to extend their current knowledge and accelerate themselves, while others intend to re-establish their foundations. It is crucial that the tutor listens to and understands the students needs and…

I think the most important thing is persistence. If the tutor isn’t motivated to help the student, the student won’t be motivated either. I also think it’s necessary for a tutor to try to explain things in different ways with patience ensuring the student understands.

I believe that a tutor should tailor their teaching to the student that they are teaching. This could involve motivating the student and getting them to enjoy the subject by for example giving them incentives to complete work by rewarding them with food or snacks. Communication is also highly important. A good tutor would discuss the student's…

Inside Duffys ForestTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Viktoria worked on simplifying fractions, including both proper and improper types, as well as geometry skills with perimeter and area using shared whiteboard activities.

Year 9 Lachlan revised factorising quadratic equations and grouped like terms while also using Desmos to visualise algebraic graphs for better understanding.

For Year 11, Brandon practiced combinatorics and permutations in probability, followed by a review of recent test questions to clarify misunderstandings.

Recent Challenges

In Year 12 calculus, messy homework setting out and not looking back at notes led to repeated confusion with chain and product rules. "He needs to look back at his notes when doing homework," a tutor observed—time was lost searching for methods rather than practicing application.

In Year 10 probability, unclear working made it difficult to spot where conditional reasoning went astray.

For a Year 5 student tackling perimeter and fractions, skipping steps or relying on copying formats resulted in missed details; rushed columns meant simple errors crept into otherwise solid logic. Confidence dropped after setbacks, slowing progress even more.

Recent Achievements

One Duffys Forest tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously struggled with fractions now accurately solved them in test questions—an area that had been a stumbling block before.

In a recent high school session, Brandon challenged himself by tackling advanced GCSE-level surds problems without hesitation and began using a highlighter independently to break down worded maths questions, something he hadn't tried until recently.

Meanwhile, Viktoria in primary school has started finishing her daily multiplication sheets much faster than before and now consistently attempts every question herself before seeking help.

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 Terrey Hills Community Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Sydney Japanese International School.
