The most important things a tutor can do for a student is make sure they are managing their time correctly, handing in work on time, and fully understanding the work which is presented to them. I enjoy aiding others in learning and understanding difficult concepts, as well as helping improve assignments and English skills. I have firm knowledge in…

One of the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is give the student motivation to learn and ultimately excel academically. In a more practical sense, a tutor's ability to explain concepts and ideas that broaden the student's perspective and understanding of a certain topic is another essential influence a tutor can have on a…

My maths teacher always said that giving students 'a spark in their chest to learn' was the most valuable thing that a teacher could give to students. I absolutely agree. I was once a student who only studied because I knew that had to but, I had several teachers in my high school & university that gave me a spark and passion to LEARN rather than…

A tutor needs to be able to imbibe in a student, a way of thinking about things, instead of just spoonfeeding the content and making everything easy for the student. It is very important to clear the basics of the student before anything else. Once the base is strong enough, the student will be able to handle any level of complexity in things. I…

I believe that as a tutor, the most crucial lesson I can impart to my students is to empower them to freely express their doubts and ask as many questions as they need. Encouraging a questioning mindset and creating a safe environment for curiosity to thrive is paramount. By doing so, I foster their confidence and enable them to actively engage in…

I believe that if a tutor is kind, patient and shows respect, they will see greater results with their students. In order for effective learning, it is paramount to create a distraction-free, positive environment, and prepare well-thought out lessons ahead of time. Lastly and perhaps most importantly, I think that if a tutor is ready to motivate,…

Tutors are someone who generally help and teach in a way schools might not. Hence, a tutor is supposed to be easy to approach, fun, interactive, friendly and must also try different ways to inculcate certain topics into the child’s brain, meanwhile experimenting with different teaching techniques and figuring out the best one. I wouldn’t just…

Inside FairfieldTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ava focused on converting fractions to percentages and explored main causes and solutions for climate change, including renewable energy sources.

In Year 9, Ethan worked through exam-style questions involving the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of negative integers as well as identifying coefficients and simplifying algebraic expressions.

For Year 10, Sophie practiced solving worded simultaneous equations and found midpoints between coordinates using worked examples to strengthen her understanding.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student often arrived without her school book or resources, making it impossible to check how classroom methods matched tutoring approaches. "She didn't bring her school book home, so I couldn't check how her teacher is teaching," noted one tutor.

In senior Chemistry, a Year 12 struggled to recall prior processes and did not share important test results until late in the session, limiting time for feedback and review.

In Year 3 maths, frequent loss of focus led to messy written work—her attention drifted and number patterns became harder to grasp. Tasks lingered unfinished or were rushed, causing ongoing confusion.

Recent Achievements

A Fairfield tutor recently saw a Year 11 student who, after struggling with exam nerves, began openly discussing her stress and worked with the tutor to develop strategies for staying calm in test conditions.

In another session, a Year 9 student made noticeable progress by arriving well-prepared and asking for clarification on geometry concepts she'd found confusing last month—she's also making an effort to keep her work neater than before.

Meanwhile, a younger student in primary school has started sounding out tricky words instead of guessing, which helped her tackle new spelling challenges confidently during reading time.

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 Fairfield Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Yeronga State High School.
