The most important thing that a tutor can do is to stay positive and encouraging. If the tutor possesses these qualities, then the student will stay motivated and positive too, and will want to continue learning. As a high academic achiever, I strive to teach new students and help them to achieve their academic goals. I am motivated to give…

An important thing all tutors should do for students is to provide a sense of purpose for learning a particular topic or subject.

The most important thing a tutor can do for their student is teach them to feel confident and enjoy the subject they are currently struggling in. By providing this to students, you can know that the student will continue to work hard to achieve their goals, and have a positive outlook on doing work they might not have enjoyed previously. As a…

Inside Cottles BridgeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Sam worked on integration and its applications, including solving simultaneous equations using algebraic methods.

A Year 11 student, Lily, focused on conditional probability, discrete random variables, and interpreting binomial distributions through practice questions.

For Year 8, Josh reviewed linear functions by plotting points on the number plane and finding the rule for straight-line graphs, as well as practising probability with Venn diagrams and practical exercises.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student tackling probability and integration was noted to rely heavily on the CAS calculator, especially when inputting equations—"separating characters on the CAS caused incorrect answers," according to one tutor.

In Year 7, a student's written maths work showed inconsistent layout for linear equations, making it harder to track errors or review steps later.

Meanwhile, a primary student preparing creative writing pieces struggled with organizing ideas and often jumped from topic to topic without linking details.

When homework was left incomplete in Year 8 science revision, class time had to be spent catching up rather than deepening understanding.

Recent Achievements

One Cottles Bridge tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to hesitate when tackling worded probability questions now confidently breaks down each part and checks which formula fits, instead of freezing up.

In a recent session with a Year 9 student, she took the lead in identifying when to use sine or cosine for triangle problems—last term she'd wait for hints, but this time she explained her reasoning out loud before solving.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who often rushed through decimals has started pausing to double-check her steps and even corrected her own mistake without prompting.

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
