A tutor should be able to build upon the basics and the foundation of a subject, most exams require an application of the basics. Students can only achieve full marks if they can apply their core knowledge in different ways to suit a question. Hence, the most important thing a tutor can do is teach ways to apply the basics. In math, there are…

Based on my experience, I believe tutoring goes beyond the instructional role to supplement class-room teaching in three ways: Empathic: Face-to-face or personalized tutoring is intended to be remedial in nature. At times, the lack of understanding of some fundamental concepts from the prior years causes difficulty for the student. The tutor…

I believe a tutor is all about being able to be the middle man between teachers and students. They are able to act in a professional manner but also can individually suit the needs of a specific student. In doing this tutors are able to fill in those missing links and hopefully create a sense of confidence in students that they might otherwise…

A tutor should not just be present to give the student all the answers.

Its about taking on a leadership and mentor role so that you can guide your student, and making them feel comfortable…

Inside BarnsleyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Lucy focused on simultaneous equations and non-linear problem-solving, using past HSC exam questions for practice.

In Year 12, Sam worked through advanced organic chemistry topics, including IUPAC nomenclature and functional groups like haloalkanes and alcohols, while also revising earlier modules ahead of a test.

Meanwhile, Year 9 Tiffany completed an assessment to identify strengths and areas for improvement before starting revision on indices and key English literary techniques.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11, one student tackling Normal Distribution struggled when "trick" questions disrupted their usual approach—over-reliance on familiar methods left gaps in handling new twists.

In a Year 8 algebra session, skipping written steps made it hard to spot sign errors and cost marks; as noted, "she skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors."

A senior Chemistry student was hesitant to write notes or show full working during reaction equations, preferring mental calculations—this slowed feedback and meant repeated confusion over similar problems.

For a Year 9 trigonometry word problem, missed details from the question led to an incomplete solution.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Barnsley recently noticed a Year 12 student who'd been hesitant about financial maths now confidently working through salary and wage problems step by step, even volunteering to explain her reasoning aloud.

Another high schooler, after weeks of confusion with algebraic expressions involving multiple coefficients, managed to independently expand brackets and solve for x without prompting—something she previously needed help on every time.

In a primary session, a student who used to wait passively for answers began breaking down bigger questions herself and asking follow-up questions until she fully understood.

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 Sugar Valley Library, kirantakamyari—or at your child's school (with permission), like Barnsley Public School.
