I think it's the tutor's responsibility to support a student in their learning growth and start to see learning as a process that everyone can do. This starts with helping them gain confidence so that their self-esteem in the classroom isn't a barrier. I am very kind, warm and friendly. My sociable nature is very helpful in developing a strong…

I think a tutor needs the ability to see things from another person's perspective as many tend to forget that the student may not have all the background knowledge that may seem like common sense to most, leading to a lot of confusion and frustration on both ends. I think a tutor also needs to be ready to get creative as students, especially…

Teaching a student the content they need to know is always a good start, however teaching a student how to build on their knowledge and further their understanding is the most important, essentially teaching them how to learn.

Helping them to develop their own learning style, or styles, to perform in a variety of circumstances is one of the most critical things a tutor can impart on a student.

The most important thing a tutor can do is to be a mentor for a student. Students and all humans alike have the inherent need for curiosity in order to learn, through asking themselves questions and linking theory with practice, can a student really learn about a topic. I believe the role of the tutor is to create this curiosity for the student. I…

The most important thing a tutor can do is help the student find their particular learning style, study habits and exam technique.

There are 2 things at the crux of what tutors should do for students. 1) Instilling confidence in themselves. A student will not learn if they are discouraged and apprehensive about their abilities - they need to feel supported and this can be done through praise and making 'light' of the task. 2) Equipping students with skills. The phrase "Method…

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.
