The most important thing a tutor can do for his/her student is to provide them assistance on topics outside their course as it not only reduces their stress level thus making it easier for students to focus but also at the same time students can relate to the teacher and thus aiding in their understanding. I am young and passionate this would be a…

Constant feedback I have good rapport with students , and I firmly believe that all starts with connection, so students can feel at ease. Adaptability is key because with individual…

A tutor or at least a teacher is someone who can give students a helping hand, perhaps a friend is too informal but someone they can relate to. I think being able to understand your student and what makes them improve or how they can improve is also essential as a tutor and a teacher. It is useless to spoon feed facts and knowledge to a student if…

The most important thing for a tutor to do to a student is to be able to connect with them on a level that allows them to understand the content. Not being able to form a connection with the student makes the learning process tough. It is important to find an approach that enables the student to succeed. As a tutor, I am able to connect with the…

In my opinion, a tutor can act as the bridge between the student and the learning outcome. I feel the job of a tutor is to instill confidence in the child and inculcate a joy of learning the subject. My job as a tutor is to administer lessons to students in such a way to adapt to his capabilities and to meld the subject matter with his interest in…

A tutor is a guide to show the right path. Students might stumble a lot, but tutor should hold him up, stand by him and show the right direction. Never giving up on a student, looking for opportunities to advance their skill is what a tutor should always do. I try to explain things from the student's perspective. For example, a gamer might…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to ensure that the child fully understands the lesson, and finds purpose in it. The student should not only study it because it is a requirement, but because they find it interesting, This I believe is a very crucial task for tutors. If a child is passionate about a subject, they will automatically study…

If it's a correct match of a student and a teacher, then definitely a tutor can change the overall personality of his student and in turn learn from him as well. It's not only about grades and positions but about life changing lessons that a tutor can give to his students. I am dedicated and true to my students, and according to me this is the…

It is so important for tutors to adapt their method of teaching to the way the student learns. Every student not only has different needs and difficulties, but learns concepts differently.

I think the most important things a tutor can do for a student are listening to them and paying attention to their needs.

It is a tutor's job to monitor the student throughout a lesson and make sure…

Inside ClontarfTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Jaida focused on surface area and volume formulas, then practised strategies for algebraic fractions and coordinate geometry.

For Year 9, Amelie worked through surds—including simplifying, multiplying/dividing, and rationalising denominators—alongside revision of trigonometry concepts like bearings and angle calculations using diagrams.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Lilly strengthened her addition, subtraction, multiplication and division skills by tackling homework errors and used times tables games to boost recall speed for upcoming topics.

Recent Challenges

He needs to keep using steps and formulas provided, after seeing working skipped in algebra problems—this led to confusion when reviewing errors later.

In Year 11, one student arrived without a calculator or notes for trigonometry revision; the missing materials slowed progress, as key steps couldn't be practiced independently.

A Year 6 lesson highlighted the need for clearer written working: Ensuring she writes down questions and working out in a way she can understand would help her revisit tricky area and volume problems before tests.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Clontarf recently noticed some great shifts across a few students. One Year 11 student, who previously hesitated to speak up, now regularly asks questions when tackling tricky calculus problems and even challenged the tutor on certain methods to better understand the "why" behind solutions.

A Year 9 student surprised herself by completing her maths assignment ahead of schedule for the first time, showing new independence and avoiding last-minute stress.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student started correcting her own mistakes while practicing times tables—where she used to just wait for hints—finishing her worksheet without needing prompts.
