The most important things that a tutor can do are to boost self-esteem, promote independent thinking, and make learning fun. I want to help students in understanding the material by motivating them to take on difficulties alone. The ultimate goal of a tutor will be to help students develop the abilities and mindset necessary to solve problems…

The most important thing has to be getting the student to truly appreciate the meaning behind what they are learning rather than the topic itself, as by growing this genuine interest and passion for what it stands for is all that is needed for success since the motivation will lead them further than any kind of unenthusiastic rote learning.

A tutor is a mentor for his students. For a tutor, it is necessary to have full knowledge of that field he/she is teaching. In most areas,its a misconception that tutors are there to help students in coming first in every aspect related to studies. But that's not true, in my opinion, tutors can only give knowledge of any particular subject/sector…

I consider the most important things a tutor can do for a student is understanding that all students are different, which means they are gonna need different ways to teach. Not all are the same. Also, try to understand that they are going to have bad days, so be a bit sympathetic as they might be willing to learn. Helping students to reach the…

a student always goes to a tutor when they find that they need some extra bit. so a tutor must see what that 'extra bit' is? is it time? is it the base knowledge of student, or is it something to do with his style of processing the information. or may be something else. but a tutor must understand the overall demand of the tutoring class and…

Identifying a student's weaknesses and strengths not only in a subject but in their general approach to life is very important. Honing strengths and working on weaknesses will allow tutors to tap into a student's potential. Deeply considering how and why a student is performing the way they are is also very important and allows changes to be made.…

Communication is the biggest aspect of tutoring. Without it, individuals will not be able to successfully grasp content and may not perform as well. During my own time tutoring, I would utilise a reiteration/imitation method where I would ask the tutee to explain what I had taught back to me to see if my point came across. The most important part…

Wilfredo

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.
