Take an interest in them. Make sure they know that you care about them, their success and their learning. I think that I am able to keep the classes relaxed and get the students comfortable with me as a tutor. I want them to feel that they are my friend so that they can express their concerns and doubts. I think that I do that well. I make the…

A tutor can help create a safe environment for a child to voice their concerns with learning which they may feel unable to do in a class setting. Having one-on-one tutor sessions can also help a child to target exactly what they are struggling with. A tutor also has more time with that student to assess what they are good at in order to keep…

The biggest thing would be to help students understand that ignorance is not failure. Just because they don't know something "basic", that does not mean they are worse than others, or are stupider, or are not going to succeed. It simply means they were not taught in a way that makes sense to them. This could be for a number of reasons, and not…

I believe a great tutor goes beyond just increasing a student's marks- they are able to act as a mentor and oversee a student's education holistically. For example, I also guided one of my previous students through his year 12 year, helping him with the university admissions process and scholarship applications, where he is now studying…

As we all know, learning should not be restricted to getting good marks in any institution or to memorising lists of facts. The most important things that can be given are the motivation and ability to keep finding things out for oneself (and to fact check new information without relying on AI or internet rumour). Seeing and approaching topics…

A tutor should be able to provide good advice for a student with respect to the individual needs of the student. By being flexible, open and available to help students as much as possible, tutors have the capacity to develop a deep and meaningful connection with them and students will be able to trust and learn more from the tutor. As high school…

I think the most important thing is that they feel motivated to learn, and that going to a tutor would be a fun experience for them. With that, a tutor should be able to clearly teach students and that the student can confidently go to a tutor knowing that he or she will fully understand his or lessons. They should always feel that the learning…

In my opinion, the most important thing will be to give the child my time and attention.

Strengths: - strict and firm (not fierce) - emphasize on…

Inside Mayfield WestTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 Chloe focused on calculating mean, median, mode, and range for data sets and interpreting various graphs like column and stem-and-leaf, often using real-world environmental examples.

In Year 11, Erika worked through bearing and trigonometry questions in maths, then shifted to biology to review the anatomy of male and female reproductive systems as well as hormone roles in the menstrual cycle.

Meanwhile, Year 12 Jackson completed a practice HSC exam paper covering networks, bivariate data analysis, financial mathematics scenarios, simultaneous equations, and normal distribution problem-solving.

Recent Challenges

For Year 12 Maths, incomplete homework and limited independent study time were frequent—one student admitted, "I struggled to keep up with the homework because I didn't know how to start some questions," leading to persistent gaps in Financial Maths and trigonometry.

In Year 11 Biology, a student hesitated when structuring extended responses or recalling terminology under pressure, which made her answers less clear during practice exams.

Meanwhile, in Year 7 Science, another often mixed up compounds and mixtures due to inconsistent revision habits and occasionally rushed through graph reading tasks without double-checking details.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Mayfield West recently noticed Jackson, a Year 12 student, independently completing challenging band 5–6 maths questions after previously needing frequent help with question interpretation; he now uses techniques like underlining key terms and checks his work for "silly" errors rather than relying on the formula sheet.

In Year 11 biology, Erika showed a real shift by confidently constructing and interpreting Punnett squares for genetic inheritance, asking deeper questions about mutation types—she had often hesitated to voice uncertainties before.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student began telling time on both analogue and digital clocks without support after initially needing picture cues for every answer.

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