Identifying the students' weaknesses is the most important. If you don't know their weaknesses, it would be difficult to target a specific area, which consequently makes the students unable to improve. I have been a high achiever in mathematical Olympiads, meaning I have an extremely thorough understanding of most topics in the subject. As a…
I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be empathetic. I remember my own struggles with learning and the shame that discouraged me from trying. I want my students to feel that their personal needs are important and to understand that intelligence isn't measured by the time or effort it takes to learn something. I…
Cater to their individual needs - some people fall behind in school not because they are "less intelligent", but because of the "one shoe fits all" approach followed by many of our schools. It is important distinguish each person as an individual learner, and adjust accordingly.
I also strongly believe in comprehension over memorisation.…
Being consistent, diligent and warm are what I consider to be the most important things a tutor can do for a student. A tutor needs to be consistent in his/her teaching methods as well as his/her approach to a specific topic so that the student can easily understand what is being taught. A tutor needs to be diligent too, finding ways and solutions…
Encourage the students so that they know that anything they want to learn they can do and that there are no limits for them and their learning.

- inspiring a student to succeed
- helping a student to overcome challenges and blocks on their academic journey
- mentoring a student to become an independent learner
- taking the time to apply the content to the practical situation and learning journey of the individual A key strength is my ability to…
Be relatable, be empathetic, and be encouraging. School for most children is not somewhere they wish to spend 8 hours a day. The best thing a tutor can do is stick with them and show them how to grow academically but mor importantly, as a person. I'm generally relatable, I was never good at school but I had an interest in math and decided I wanted…
- Be approachable about any problems the student may be having in the area of study
- be friendly, patient and accepting of the fact that everyone makes mistakes, helping the student overcome the challenges they face in the area of study without any judgement. This in turn builds confidence and comfort between tutor and student. Until year 9 I…
I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to provide academic guidance, and help them achieve their best on an academic level. Tutors can also help a student develop self confidence and a sense of purpose at school. I have developed good listening and communicational skills from more than two years of experience across…
As a tutor, the most important thing is to impart confidence to the student, where they believe in themselves and their ability to overcome problems they face when learning. My friendly attitude gets the students to open up and tell me what they are struggling with in the subject. However, when need be, I can be serious and put down my foot to…
Listening to a student is the most important action a tutor can take with a student. A student might not always know the question they need to ask but by actively listening, it will give the opportunity to understand one another more effectively I approach students and their circumstances with understanding. Maths can be very frustrating when it…
Patience and persistence. Just because they don't understand it one way doesn't mean they cannot in another. My strength as a tutor is being able to explain and break down complex materials for many different…
As fundamental as academic guidance Is for a student, I have always believed that a student’s enjoyment in a subject is paramount for it is as important, if not More important, than subject matter: it is a teacher’s job to share their own passion for the the subject.
Beyond this, a human connection is another priority. Amiability helps the…

in today's modern world, delivering the lecture is not sufficient, in fact, it is more important that students are getting the real picture of that idea or not, if not then tutor can change their method of delivery/teaching to make them understand. I can use my experience in teaching to deliver the lecture/tutorial with an excellent outcome from…
The most important thing for a tutor is to make a difficult concept, interesting and easy to understand for a student so that they learn to apply and practice out of interest. My biggest strength is that I won't just focus on teaching a concept, but to make it interesting and palatable for…

So far Katie has been prompt, personable and prepared.
As you say it is very early days -we are only just getting to the point where we are clear on where she is at and where she needs to be.
Yes we are happy with Kavindu.
Emily seems more confident with one on one home tutoring than class tutoring.
thanks
He's here now, drinking miso and walking Em through Pythagoras (poor sole).
It's all good. She appreciates this time and enjoys his learning insights so that's a winner.
