Tutoring for Success Program

Tuition Support for Students

Indigenous students studying at Western Sydney University, or The College can apply for free tutoring through the Tutoring for Success (TFS) program. TFS enables eligible Indigenous students to receive individual or group tuition with qualified tutors in specific subject areas, and in relation to academic skills such as essay writing, study techniques and research skills.

Eligible students may be approved for up to two hours of tutoring per week per subject (to a maximum of 8 hours per week), and if required additional hours of exam preparation tuition during the examination period.

Any Indigenous student wishing to apply for tuition support through the TFS Program can access the online application form by clicking here.

Please note the Badanami Centre will contact registered tutors to offer specified casual employment based on a student's academic needs and the tutors’ academic qualifications and relevant experience. Consequently, not all registered Tutors may receive offers of casual employment each semester.

If offered casual employment with the TFS program, Tutors must comply with the terms of their Casual Employment Authority (CEA) as issued by Badanami. TFS Tutors may only commence tutoring a student as part of the TFS program if they have received and accepted a CEA to Badanami.

If you have previously applied for any role with Western Sydney University, please login rather than creating a new account. If you have any problems with this process, please don’t hesitate to contact a member of the Casual Employment Team on 9678 7575.
