Where it's more than just the marks, a tutor should be the role model to a student where they aspire to be like them. Any improvement by a student big or small is something to look towards.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to understand their students and the way they learn! This means bringing up different approaches to studying if one does not work for the student and ensuring that they are listened to and supported at all time! Tutors should not shame their students and work on more than just achieving…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is understand that each student is different and learns best in different ways and at different paces. I also firmly believe that engaging the student by doing things like connecting concepts to the real world or even to the student's own interests is paramount for the overall retention…

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.

Local Spots for Tutoring
