I believe one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is serve as a secondary teacher/mentor to a school teacher. As school teachers have to focus on a large class (usually around 30 students), they are unable to address the needs of each student. As each student has their own struggles and needs, an exterior tutor provides…

Encouraging independence is significant. Students should be introduced to strategies to be independent and more effective learners. Being a motivator who encourages students to strive to be the best they can, to reach their goals, to focus on their strengths so that they will be successful in the future. Also, building strong relationships with…

I think the most important thing a tutor can offer to a younger student is their experience, similar to that of a mentor. Beyond course content, tutors can draw from their study, career and life experiences to help the student navigate their path. I am proud of my ability to teach and explain concepts to others effectively and thoroughly, which I…

When I was at school, my favourite teachers were always the relatable ones who were genuinely interested in me, my hobbies and my life. This connection is important for many reasons, not only to be a good tutor but to also be a confidant in times of crisis. In the past I have worked with children who had special needs. Being close to the student…

I don't hope to replace the school teachers completely. However 1 to 1 and smaller group engagements would help put in a more personal touch that would minimize the weakness of the student, bring the best out of them and build character (patience, resilience, analytical thinking) to supplement them to succeed in their education journey Analytical…

The most important things I can do for a student are encourage them, teach them, and support them. By teaching them, I will teach them to the point where they actually understand what they are learning instead of them saying 'I understand' when they really don't. By encouraging them to do well, not only does it makes their parents and I happy and…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is help them understand. Memorising content is useful, but without understanding, the brain soon discards it as unimportant. Understanding allows students to see the bigger picture and how concepts tie together. Memorising forces students into a box, where questions outside of what they’ve…

I believe that teachers/tutors make the greatest impact on a developing child or young adult's mind. Apart from the child's family, a teacher/tutor has the most influential face to face contact with a student, where it be as a mentor or as a friend. Hence, I strongly feel that tutors have the opportunity and responsibility to educate and develop a…

Local Reviews

Online learning my 9 year old son found challenging. He excels in class room learning and during the school closures his development learning in maths suffered. He has only had a couple of tutor sessions and already his teacher an I have noticed an improvement is his confidence to attempt math problems he finds challenging.
Judy, Fairfield

Inside FairfieldTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Jafar focused on writing persuasive texts and stories using prompts, while also building skills in calculating change and interpreting graphs.

For Year 9, Sienna practised solving simultaneous equations and explored applications of graphing inequalities, often working through examples step-by-step.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Sam covered the sine rule and cosine rule in trigonometry, alongside finding exact values for common angles by applying formulae to real-world problems.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student repeatedly left differentiation rules half-memorised, leading to confusion when tackling derivatives of constants or linear functions; as a tutor noted, "he still needs practice with basic differentiation rules—he needs to be able to solve specific problems without my help."

In contrast, a Year 8 student's homework was sometimes incomplete or done incorrectly, requiring time in lessons to finish missed work rather than move forward.

Meanwhile, during persuasive writing in Year 6 English, one learner struggled to turn ideas into sentences without prompts and often responded with "I don't know" before attempting answers. Confidence and independence suffered in these moments.

Recent Achievements

A Fairfield tutoring session saw a Year 10 student, previously hesitant to attempt simultaneous equations without help, independently set up and solved worded problems using both elimination and substitution methods for the first time.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student who often avoided class participation is now actively asking relevant questions during lessons on trigonometric applications in three dimensions, showing genuine engagement with new content.

For a younger learner in primary school, after initially finding subtraction across zeroes confusing, he was able to confidently explain his solution process back to the tutor.

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