Although it is important to improve students' results, I believe the most important responsibilities of a tutor are to help their students to discover their talents, enable them to reach their full potential, and empower them to be independent thinkers and passionate life-long learners. I scored 96% (First Class Honours) on my research thesis in a…

Then by knowing what the student needs I am able to focus on the problems that the student face and come up with solutions to solve those problems. These problems are in a…

In my point of view, a good tutor should be a good listener to students. The tutor should able to fix the student's queries. The qualities like patient, flexible, openness and active are important things for a tutor because the student will observe the tutor and we may influence them at some point. so, it is essential for a tutor to have good…

In school, the subject teacher need to face a relatively large group of students, so their teaching style and pace of lesson are more inclined to fit the majority but not everyone. Therefore when it comes to private tuition, the tutor conducting one-to-one lesson can focus on the student himself and personalize the lesson in a way that this…

I believe going the extra mile to ensure that a student has the proper understanding is primordial.

I prefer to portray myself more a friend than a tutor and reassure my students…

The most important thing a tutor can do is NOT to give the students answers. This is a red line for me as it limits the student's ability to use their mind to explore and thus tackle hard questions. My strengths are that I am open minded and persistent; I am never one to criticise a student for not understanding how to do something no matter how…

A good tutor will work themselves out of a job. This is because a good tutor will not only teach the student the content but also how to learn. Therefore the student will be able to become independent of the tutor and then be able to teach other students. I am able to explain concepts clearly and concisely in a number of different ways. Thereby…

Increasing their self confidence in their abilities. I used to hate maths and thought I was always going to be hopeless, then I had a teacher who completely changed my perspective.

Inside FairfieldTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Daniel revised index laws and logarithmic functions, focusing on simplifying expressions and using worked examples.

In Year 10, Emily practised sketching curves of quartic and cubic functions as well as reviewing plans for next year's topics.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Jack explored integration by recognition and definite integrals, applying these skills to area under curves with step-by-step guidance.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student struggled with interpreting worded questions in maths, often feeling stuck before the process "clicked." As a tutor noted, "she needs a lot of work on interpreting worded questions," leading to hesitation and incomplete answers.

In VCE Maths Methods (Year 11), another student was visibly unconfident despite correct working, pausing with "I don't know" even when on track—this self-doubt slowed progress and led to unnecessary rechecking.

Meanwhile, in Year 4 arithmetic, one child showed reluctance to attempt multiplication problems independently, sometimes saying they "can't be bothered," which meant fewer chances to reinforce number sense during practice.

Recent Achievements

A Fairfield tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 9 student who, after initially finding bearings problems confusing, now approaches them independently and solves worded simultaneous equations without needing guidance.

In Year 10, another student who used to hesitate with worded questions is now able to break down linear rule problems clearly and even constructs formulas on her own during lessons.

Meanwhile, one of the younger students has become much more comfortable with long division; after working through examples together, she now completes similar problems confidently by herself.

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 Primary School.
