I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is, to have patience with them as every student has their own pace of learning the subject. Another thing that a tutor should be able to do is to have good communication with the class, so they can build trust between them and the student. In addition to these traits, other traits that…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to ultimately listen to the student's need, academically and also personally. I believe being available to the students is also super important as it helps them to think that they're not alone in this high school journey as us the tutors have gone through it and can share our experiences and…

I believe a tutor imparts part of his or her knowledge to the student. However, it does not stop with just knowledge. I personally feel that a tutor can instill passion and confidence to a student. This would definitely help a student later in the student's career. A tutor can as well, teach a student how to love a certain subject and how to be…

Firstly to help a student understand the concepts, theory and ideas of the subject. And then to help them see the relevance of those concepts, theory and ideas. Because once they see how relevant those ideas are in our world today, then they'll remember it. I like to ask meaningful questions, questions which reveal to me the students perspective…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student are making them feel comfortable, explaining the students clearly and enjoying every moment with students I used to be a tutor for almost 1 year, two years for teaching.

In my perspective, a tutor must be able to properly assess the student's needs - whether they are struggling with eg multiplication, or understanding of algebra that make it hard for them to do harder questions, or even motivation or confidence issues, or comprehension problems, and to be able to adapt to these need/s of the students and improve…

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…

Any tutor, mentor, educator, or teacher all have something different to offer their students: but the goal is the same and it should be this: to help empower those who can't empower themselves in order to bring forth the best version of that individual into the world. It is through education, knowledge and the reciprocation of knowledge that…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is be patient and supporting and guide the student through any issues they may encounter. Show them the path on how to get there, not just the final answer. Make sure students understand the concept so that they may apply the concept to similar questions, not just memorise the steps. My…

A tutor is an educator who can provide students with extra support when they are lacking confidence and understanding in the chosen subject area. The roles of a tutor, like teachers, are to assist students academically and emotionally so they will be doused with the experiences and skills that they need to succeed in the working environment or in…

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.
