Once again, it would have to be helping them to empower themselves, to believe in themselves, to learn and use their strengths while finding solutions to improve in other areas. I also believe it is very important to be calm and patient and have compassion on how the student is feeling. My strengths would have to be that I enjoy helping people,…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can offer a child is patience. Impatience does not create a suitable learning environment. Qualities like these can prevent a child from wanting to learn, they may negatively associate with the subject, putting them further behind. Every child can succeed, given enough time. I have strengths as coach that…

A tutor can help a student grow not only in their academics but also as a human. A tutor is different from a teacher as they can be more personal with a student during 1 on 1 teaching. This gives room for conversations which can help the students grow. Since i was recently a student, I believe that I understand what students are looking for from a…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to give them the confidence to never stop trying to learn despite few low moments. I personally, encourage students to ask even the most basic questions which come across their mind and to never feel ashamed of wanting to learn more or being curious. In my opinion, Constantly…

Sometimes a student needs more than just a tutor who can teach him or her difficult contents; they also need someone who can provide them with encouragement and support so they can start believing in their own skills. A tutor can come up with millions of strategies to apply in order to deliver a lesson, but it'll be worthless if you don't relate…

Most importantly, a student should be motivated and encouraged so that he studies with interest. He should be made to feel that if he failed to understand a concept once, it is perfectly fine and he should keep trying. He should be taught the actual meaning of the word 'Competition' , which is to beat his / her own last performance and not anyone…

Constantly checking up on them. Not in just terms of their learning (granted, it is very important) but also how they are feeling about the study and the method of teaching.

Teaching the content and helping them fully grasp it, rather than doing it for them. I find that a lot of subjects have a particular rhythm to them; although some require rote learning (like particular concepts, especially within math), there are always patterns that can be identified so that students achieve their very best. For example: Stage 2…

Inside DirekTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Vikrant worked on basic addition using counting strategies and practiced vowel patterns like -ay, -ap, and -at through word completion exercises.

In Year 8, Amelia focused on calculating the perimeter of irregular shapes and finding the circumference of incomplete circles using diagrams to support understanding.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Suhana strengthened her skills in surface area by working through problems involving cubes, rectangular prisms, and cones, as well as revising area formulas for composite shapes.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 Maths, one student hesitated to talk through their reasoning and needed encouragement to explain steps—this made it harder to identify where confusion started during Pythagoras' Theorem and rearranging equations. As a tutor noted, "she tends to say 'I don't know' quickly instead of unpacking her thinking."

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student struggled with back-checking answers when finding the area of composite shapes, often missing units or misapplying operations unless prompted.

In upper primary (Year 5), another found multiplication drills overwhelming and lost focus during multi-step problems, leading to unfinished work when memory recall faltered.

Recent Achievements

A Direk tutoring session saw one Year 10 student become much more independent with Pythagoras' theorem—he worked through problems without needing help and fixed small errors on his own, a big step from relying on prompts before.

Another high schooler began backchecking her maths work out of habit, catching mistakes herself rather than waiting for the tutor to point them out.

For a younger learner, after struggling with number order past ten, he can now fill in missing numbers up to twenty almost error-free and will even trace new words while saying them aloud—something he'd never tried at the start.

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 Burton Community Hub Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Lake Windemere B-6 School.
