Shafa
English Tutor Kingsford, NSW
I think the most important things a tutor can do for a student, besides clarifying concepts, is to build their confidence and encourage critical thinking. From my short informal tutoring experience, I found that students can sometimes hyperfocus on guidelines/given examples, so much so that they believe there is no alternate approach to the…

The most important thing for a tutor is to foster a love of learning above all us. To teach for an exam is short sighted and will ultimately provide no benefit for the student moving forward.

I think the most important think a tutor can do for a student is to give them confidence in their own abilities.

The most important thing that a tutor can do at first, is build a rapport and a relationship of trust.

Standard Inside North SydneyTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
In primary, tutoring often targets core arithmetic—addition, subtraction, times tables, fractions, and building number sense—while also pushing for deeper comprehension, not just rote rules. High school sessions shift to algebraic thinking, graphing, interpreting questions, and developing strong exam strategies. There’s a big emphasis on breaking down word problems, revisiting tricky homework, and test prep for NAPLAN or semester exams, always tailored to what each student finds hardest right now.
Recent Challenges
Some primary students rush through comprehension or maths tasks without fully reading instructions, leading to incomplete or off-target answers. In high school, it’s common for students to have scattered or unclear working, which makes multi-step problems harder to check and fix. Other frequent hurdles include forgetting materials, leaving homework unfinished, or spending revision time catching up on missed basics instead of moving forward—all of which can hold back progress and lead to confusion.
Recent Achievements
Tutors are noticing students becoming more proactive during lessons—regularly checking their own work, spotting errors, and making corrections without being asked. There’s a clear shift toward students verbalising their steps in maths and explaining their reasoning aloud, rather than rushing through problems. Tutors also report that learners are reviewing their test results with more care and taking the initiative to improve, showing greater confidence and ownership of their progress.
