To teach them in a way that they are equipped with the knowledge at a good pace for them, while also remaining up to date or a head of schedule. This allows them to have things mastered before their classes, allowing them to spend that time in the most effective way they see fit. My strengths as a tutor are the ability to lead a student to an…

The most important thing besides building up a students knowledge is to mentor them. This means opening students eyes to the many study techniques that are available, and not just encouraging them to adopt one, mechanical study for each subject, but to allow them to explore all the different possibilities on offer, thus maturing in their schooling…

A tutor can provide a proper guideline to a student on how to excel in his/her studies. The tutor can primarily create a timetable for a student regarding what amount of time should be spent on studies, when to have recess etc. Time management is really important in a student's life. I think one-to-one learning is essential to help a student…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student, not to just explain a certain problem but to help them understand the concept behind it, explain to them why they are doing it. Students need to be motivated, without motivation students lose the desire to learn. I feel that if students understand why they have to do it maths or English…

To be a mix of a friend and an authoritative figure who they are comfortable around and respect. This way they can actively engage with the tutor and whilst also learning and reinforcing their knowledge. I think my strengths…

A tutor needs to be considerate towards every student's capacity and level of understanding.

I think the most important thing a tutor should do is understand the learning pattern and style of the student. Every student learns differently, simply using one method is not enough. As I try to see, I try to understand how different students learn and understand different content. Through the process, i try to find what is the most optimal way…

The biggest things a tutor can do for a student are to really get how each person learns and adapt their teaching to match. This makes learning enjoyable and effective for the student.

In my opinion it is important to have to ability to maintain the interest of the student through out sessions. And this only does not apply during the sessions, it is crucial to make sure that the students have interest to attend the upcoming sessions. Not being able to create the interest the student has towards a tutors sessions, a session is of…

Inside DovetonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 12 Biology with Priya involved exploring biomacromolecules, particularly nucleic acids, and beginning work on gene expression by reviewing transcription and translation.

For Year 8 Maths, Zara tackled computation with integers in preparation for her test and then moved into geometry, focusing on angles, lines, and the concept of pi as an irrational number using a variety of worksheets.

Meanwhile, Year 7 student Ayaan worked through introductory algebra topics including adding like terms and expanding brackets, practising distributive law problems to strengthen his understanding.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 Chemistry student hesitated to elaborate on the reactions behind polymer formation, as a tutor noted, "more detail was needed to understand the processes." This slowed lesson pacing and meant key concepts weren't fully explored.

In Year 11 Biology, missing or unclear note-taking made it harder for one student to distinguish gene expression terms—notes were provided, but confusion lingered.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 General Maths student lacked confidence in tackling worded problems and often paused mid-solution; her uncertainty led to unfinished answers.

When time management slipped in senior science lessons, essential content like enzyme denaturation remained uncovered until the next session.

Recent Achievements

A Doveton tutor recently saw a Year 10 student move from feeling overwhelmed by algebra to independently solving complex expressions using the distributive law—a big step, as they'd previously hesitated to try without guidance.

In Year 11 biology, another student who struggled with gene expression began taking detailed notes and confidently answered questions about transcription, showing a real leap in understanding.

Meanwhile, a primary student who used to guess on times tables now recalls them easily and works through order of operations problems solo; by lesson's end, they completed all set questions without needing help.
