The most important thing a tutor can do is to actually listen to their student. If they are not being receptive to feedback, and the student is not learning, then there is no progress being made. Rather, there has to be an active conversation between tutor and student that helps communicate the student's needs. I think I'm really receptive to a…

Our modern world is built around education and every student can expect to experience a lot of it in the future. Therefore, it is most important that a tutor should model genuine interest in learning (both the subject matter and how to learn well), so that the student him/herself enjoys the process and is encouraged to become a lifelong learner.…

Listen. Every student excels in some ways and does not in others. This emphasises the importance for a tutor to present ideas in ways which allow the student to learn them in the most efficient and effective ways. This also ensures that the tutor does not repeat anything the student already knows and identifies what the student has yet to learn. -…

Inside ClaphamTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Jack worked on identifying odds and evens, creating timelines, and counting backwards using number lines.

In Year 9, Liam focused on understanding Pythagoras' Theorem with visual examples and began exploring the basics of trigonometry and probability.

For Year 10, Sarah deepened her knowledge of probability by working through Venn diagrams, tree diagrams for events without replacement, and calculating probabilities for mutually exclusive events.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9, one student's algebra responses were "hard for the examiner to follow" due to unclear formatting, making it difficult to spot and correct sign errors.

A Year 11 student relied heavily on copying previous problem structures in calculus but made minor mistakes with negatives when situations changed; as noted, "she sometimes copies a template without checking if all rules still apply."

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student often left textbook exercises unfinished at home, impacting her recall during lessons.

In English (Year 10), forgetting to underline key words in questions led to incomplete analysis and missed marks.

Recent Achievements

One Clapham tutor noted that a Year 11 student who previously struggled with applying the chain rule in calculus can now combine it smoothly with other differentiation rules and independently solve mixed problems.

In Year 10, another student who was often hesitant to ask for help now talks through her maths reasoning out loud, helping clarify misunderstandings on her own during sessions.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student recently used a new pattern-based strategy for unfamiliar times tables—something she hadn't tried before—and then confidently applied this approach to tackle tricky multiplication sums without prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Kai and Ben are getting on greatly. Kai had a big win last week. He went from 53% on a maths test to 88%! He received champ of the month award and a chocolate bar! He was thrilled! We are starting to see the results now. Thank you Ben for everything!

Aslinn is currently travelling along well. We have valued Jess's contribution to her reaching her goals in maths. If Aslinn needs further assistance we will have no hesitations in using your service.

My daughter progressed so well with the support of your tutor, Eliran and we think she is ready to work independently. Thank you for providing a great educational service. We will keep you in mind if we need your support for the future.

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 Mitcham Memorial Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Clapham Primary School.
