I think one extremely important thing a tutor can do is to adapt their teaching to the individual needs and abilities of each student, and adapt themselves to the student, not force the student to adapt to them. This involves listening to the student and observing how they work and then responding to those things. Another extremely important thing…

It is also important to help students enjoy learning and develop the resilience to…

The ability to explain concepts and solutions to problems in a way that the student can understand. What can look very simple to us can seem like a foreign language to our students, so the skill to break these down and make the student believe that what just looked impossible to them is actually very doable is invaluable as a tutor.

A tutor should be able to build confidence for a student in a subject that is not their strongest. By building this confidence, students can go into exams with a clear understanding of the subject.

My daughter says she felt comfortable with Varun right away. She has now had 2 sessions and feels supported by Varun. Audrey can be reserved and she told me that Varun makes her feel more confident and heard. She also says that he is extremely patient with her, something she hasn't experienced much with other teachers. Varun is also flexible and a nice guy. Thanks Varun, your tutoring service is much appreciated by our family.

Inside WestminsterTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Zara worked on converting **decimals to percentages and fractions**, using real-life examples for context.

In Year 9, Amelia focused on **non-right-angle trigonometry**, practicing sine and cosine laws with guided examples from her recent test.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Josh tackled **quadratic equations and simultaneous equations** through a mix of problem-solving and targeted revision for an upcoming assessment.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 mathematics, a student hesitated to attempt questions on powers and indices when unsure, as one tutor noted, "she doesn't attempt the question if she knows she doesn't understand or will get an answer wrong." This perfectionism led to less practice and reinforced uncertainty.

Meanwhile, in Year 7 algebra lessons, confusion between negative indices and order of operations caused repeated errors; missing steps made it hard to spot where things went wrong.

During test preparation in senior years, last-minute revision meant little time for targeted feedback—leading to similar mistakes resurfacing under exam pressure.

Recent Achievements

A Westminster tutor noticed a big shift in one Year 10 student who used to struggle with trig ratios; after some targeted revision, she now solves those problems independently and even explains her steps out loud.

In Year 8, another student began asking clarifying questions during lessons instead of quietly skipping tricky parts—this new habit helped her complete all homework before the next session for the first time.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who often guessed at clock-reading started drawing clocks on her own to double-check answers and got through every time question last week without help.

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 Girrawheen Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Takari Primary School.
