I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to understand them. Many kids struggle at school and with their parents , be it academically or otherwise, this could be due to a number of reasons. However, from my personal experience I have found it to be the lack to communication between the child and the adults that…

Making sure the student has high morale is my main priority. Always provide help when needed, never discourage them, and make sure they feel comfortable. Students might be very intelligent, however a low amount of confidence can harm them in exams, as they stress on problems that could be simple without time pressure. I believe I can cut down…

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

If you'd prefer not to have lessons at home, tutoring can also take place at a local library—such as Doveton Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Holy Family School.
