English Tutor Carrington, NSW
Making a student as confident as possible is the upmost important aspect of tutoring in my mind. This is because, no matter how many hours are spent studying, if a student is not confident within themselves, in exam settings they will constantly doubt themselves and make avoidable mistakes. Therefore, building students confidence is the most…

English Tutor Wickham, NSW
In my opinion, the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to provide them with a supportive and encouraging learning environment. This means taking the time to understand each student's unique needs, learning style, and interests, and tailoring the tutoring approach accordingly. A good tutor should also be patient and compassionate,…

English Tutor Callaghan, NSW
A tutor can help create a safe environment for a child to voice their concerns with learning which they may feel unable to do in a class setting. Having one-on-one tutor sessions can also help a child to target exactly what they are struggling with. A tutor also has more time with that student to assess what they are good at in order to keep…

English Tutor Hamilton South, NSW
I believe a tutor needs empathy. The tutor needs to make a targeted effort to understand their student. A student's weaknesses, strengths, drive and thinking style all play an integral role in a student's learning process and thus should be taken into account when developing lessons. Individual needs must be considered to facilitate realistic and…

English Tutor Newcastle, NSW
I believe an important component of tutoring is patience, ensuring that the student completely understands the topic before moving on. This leads into following up. Following up the previous session for a couple of minutes in the next lesson is highly beneficial as the student can show their understanding of the topic, allowing the opportunity to…

In my experience there are parts of courses that a student can not or would not understand on their own, however through my assistance to understand road blocks in course content and as a result help resolve and navigate them to me is the most important aspect of the job. I can explain course content in a manner students would find engaging and…

Local Reviews

We just wanted to thank Thomas Ban for the wonderful work he has done with Jasmine this year. We feel that she has received these grades due to Thomas tutoring. He has challenged and pushed her to work harder and improve her maths. He is also extremely professional and courteous.

Inside MayfieldTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Tyler worked through addition and subtraction of decimals, rounding numbers, and strategies for adding and subtracting fractions as part of his maths booklet.

For Year 11, Erika focused on rates and ratios problems before moving into bearings and trigonometry applications, then discussed the anatomy of male and female reproductive systems in biology, including hormones in the menstrual cycle.

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student revised financial mathematics topics like compound interest and depreciation alongside normal distribution questions using Z-scores and real-world scenarios.

Recent Challenges

In Year 7 Maths, one student's workbook "could be a little more organised and tidy," making it difficult to review steps and correct errors during lessons.

In Year 11, inconsistent completion of homework and minimal study outside class—"approx. 1 hour weekly"—left major gaps in Financial Maths and Bivariate Data, as noted after a missed assignment.

A Year 12 student admitted confusion about their study timetable, leading to incomplete homework on non-right angle trigonometry; the misunderstanding was only clarified mid-lesson.

Across these examples, scattered notes or missing work meant valuable lesson time was spent retracing old ground rather than advancing skills.

Recent Achievements

One Mayfield tutor observed that Jackson, a Year 12 student, has moved from needing frequent help with interpreting complex exam questions to independently completing high-level network and normal distribution problems—a big step since earlier sessions where missing key parts of questions was common.

In Year 11 Biology, Erika showed new initiative by asking insightful questions about DNA replication and confidently explaining the impacts of different mutagens on genetic diseases, demonstrating much more self-directed engagement than before.

Meanwhile, a primary student who previously struggled with time-telling now completes worksheets unaided and uses pictures to quickly work out fraction equivalence—she finished all her telling-the-time problems without any prompts this week.

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 Mayfield Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Columban's Primary School.
