I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to create and maintain a safe and nurturing environment where the student is free to make and learn from their mistakes and are not afraid to ask for assistance when he/she needs additional help with the concept being taught. Therefore, this will be the environment that I will…

In my opinion, the most valuable thing that a tutor can do for the student is to bring his/her interest to learn about anything in academic subjects. Most of the students nowadays are more keen on social media postings and playing online games. Sometimes, they forgot how important the academic knowledge in their lives. So, bring back the student's…

Inside SmithfieldTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Andrew focused on different strategies for 2- and 3-digit subtraction, tackled word problems involving working backwards, and explored the length topic by comparing units like millimetres, centimetres, and metres.

In Year 10, Judy revised solving algebraic equations with brackets on both sides and worked through algebraic fraction equations using step-by-step examples.

A Year 11 student spent sessions practising financial maths calculations including overtime pay and commission, then moved on to income tax and simple interest using real-world wage scenarios.

Recent Challenges

Homework completion and organization were ongoing concerns across several high school years.

In Year 10, a student admitted to rushing algebraic fractions homework minutes before the session, leaving half unfinished.

Another in Year 11 did not attempt trigonometry homework at all, forgetting key ratios when revisiting material.

Fatigue and lack of focus recurred—"was very tired during this lesson and lost focus multiple times," read one note for a senior maths student struggling with equations previously mastered.

Another Year 9 scenario showed reliance on online answers rather than personal effort.

Gaps in revision habits often left students underprepared for unexpected tests.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Smithfield recently noticed a Year 8 student who used to hesitate asking for help now openly asks questions when stuck, instead of guessing through his algebra homework.

A high schooler who previously struggled with trigonometric ratios managed to complete his latest homework almost error-free and formatted his answers neatly without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who found number line problems tricky last week was able to independently solve "in between" questions for her current homework.

In one session, a senior student finished all ten equations on the worksheet without repeating earlier mistakes.

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 Smithfield Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Gertrude's Catholic Primary School.
