the most important thing a tutor can do is assist by asking the student questions to find their weaknesses in the subject and do practice tests, additionally a tutor can explain the students assessment tasks and assist to get the correct answer without directly telling the answer but leading the student towards the answer so they can find it…

Most importantly a tutor should understand the goals and needs of each student individually - what they find difficult and why they struggle with certain concepts. Subsequently, tutors should teach students the concepts and ensure they understand how to solve problems, this provides lifelong problem solving skills rather than memorised methods to…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to be open and offer an open exchange of exchange of information that allows a student to freely delve into a subject. I feel tutors better excel at this compared to teachers who's depth and exploration of a topic can be shallow due to the rigorous nature of the syllabus. My strengths would be gentle…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be a positive role model, and be someone to look up to, someone who can be relied upon for any academic issue. I think the biggest problem is that students are afraid of being judged or scared of what tutors might think of them, and I believe that establishing that open honest…

Most important point of being a tutor isn't the ability of doing the question yourself, or understanding it yourself, as a tutor this is already expected, so conveying the concept to the student in such a way that they are able to convey it along to someone else is one of the fundamental aspects of tutoring. Helping students with topics they…

I think one of the most important things a tutor can do is create a safe and supportive space where the student feels comfortable asking questions and making mistakes.

Clear explanations, achievable goals, and constructive feedback are essential. A tutor should also foster independence, provide guidance…

Support. Providing a great amount of support and motivation is crucial for a student’s education path. Without this, a lack of drive would occur which is detrimental to their learning, ultimately affecting their peers around them which acts like the domino effect. I have been to multiple coaching centres since Kindergarten and I have realised…

Help them gain interest in what they're trying to study/learn. The problem with kids not wanting to learn isn't because the subject is hard, usually it's because they have no interest in the subject whatsoever. There's always a way to show someone the appeal of every single subject. It can be hard but it's very possible and many teachers and…

The most important thing for a tutor is to not feed the student to information but to guide them as they learn. It's to teach the students how to learn independently and invoke within them a passion and a want for more learning and knowledge. To show students that studying is not a chore but a tool and a privilege that they can use. As a young…

Explain. If a tutor can explain a concept in a way a student can understand and then is able to remember it and be able to apply it, the tutor has succeeded in his role. Also being able to listen to students, as a tutor should be able to find small mistakes and correct them as questions require perfection to some degree to achieve maximum marks.…

Teach them how to study. I feel that too many students think the only way to study is to read the text book or talk to the teacher. Although these are valid ways I feel that most students don't realise there are other ways to study. I personal prefer to watch videos explaining the subject, draw pictures and diagrams, and then make flash cards.…

Inside ShalveyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Riley worked on solving inequalities and explored gradients in linear equations, practicing graphing techniques.

For Year 9, Sarah tackled simultaneous equations using both substitution and elimination methods, then moved on to a chapter review focusing on BODMAS and fraction operations.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ethan concentrated on calculus skills—specifically differentiation—and also reviewed function properties by working through targeted exam-style questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student struggled to focus during exams, leading to "a lot of careless mistakes"—missing marks in questions he otherwise understood.

In Year 7, one student overcomplicated simple fraction problems and sometimes forgot basic steps after missing class from an injury; this made catching up slower.

For a Year 8 learner, confusion with shape reflections grew each time the mirror line moved, leaving him frustrated mid-task.

Across multiple high school years, incomplete tutor homework was noted: "Requesting more consistency in completing tutor homework," which meant missed chances for targeted feedback before tests.

Recent Achievements

One Shalvey tutor noticed a Year 11 student stopped relying on graphing software for linear equations and now completes classwork on time—a big shift from earlier habits of hesitancy.

Another high schooler, previously making small errors with negative numbers, has recently shown real progress mastering mean, median, and mode; he even solved a harder median problem without needing hints.

In a primary session, Musawer—who often guessed angles before—now confidently adds them up independently and explains his steps out loud during practice.

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 Mt Druitt Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Chifley College Shalvey Campus.
