The most important things a tutor can do for a student is helping around with the difficulties the student is facing in their curriculum. Improving on their weaknesses on the whole improves the quality of learning and makes them more viable to achieve their potential. My biggest strength is to be able to connect with students, relatively easily.…

I assert that successful tutors are able to build strong relationships with their students as it personalizes learning. Another thing is to teach to the student's strengths and minimizes the students weaknesses. Every student and their way of learning is different, so, as a tutor, one should be flexible according to the needs of the perplexed…

Building a strong mentor-student relationship is crucial, nurturing an environment where questions are encouraged, and challenges are viewed as opportunities for growth. Also, tailoring teaching methods to suit individual learning styles, and…

Inside BolivarTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Tom focused on calculating area for both simple and composite shapes, as well as reviewing key area formulas.

Year 9 student Archie worked through simplifying ratios and revisited BIDMAS and fractions after receiving his test results.

Meanwhile, Isobel in Year 10 tackled converting fractions to percentages alongside practising addition and subtraction with fractions, using real-world examples where possible.

Recent Challenges

In Year 3 maths, a student often left place value work incomplete and struggled to justify number patterns—"she can answer but doesn't understand why," noted a tutor. This made follow-up questions on sequences difficult.

By Year 7, another student hesitated to talk through problem-solving steps in composite shapes, preferring to guess rather than explain reasoning, which led to confusion when units or operations were missed.

In senior years (Year 11), heavy reliance on calculators replaced working out multiplication by hand, especially during exam-style questions; as one tutor observed, "she wasn't confident with arithmetic and defaulted straight to the calculator."

Recent Achievements

A Bolivar tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who used to rush through maths problems and overlook mistakes; now, she's gotten into the habit of backchecking her work and caught every error herself last session.

Another high school student recently began talking through his approach out loud—he'd usually stay quiet and guess before, but now he explains his thinking and spots where he might go wrong.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who once struggled with reading analogue clocks can now both read times accurately and confidently draw clock hands when asked.
