An effective tutor can make a student feel more confident and engaged with the learning process. They can make students excited to learn new concepts and to challenge themselves, rather than shying away from these challenges. Marks can be important, particularly for older students, and are a tangible outcome for students to measure their…

A good tutor needs to have a variety of qualities in order to bring out the best in a student. Tutors need to be able to personalize learning, no two students learn the same and as such it would be incorrect to assume that the same teaching strategy will work for every student. Tutors should also not simply teach content to students, they need to…

Through tutoring courses, it is not only to improve academic scores, but also to learn how to study and how to treat life. Making students realize that there is always a solution to a problem builds their confidence and influences others. I do this by clearly and effectively teaching the fundamental concepts behind the material and making it…

The most important thing a tutor can do is to make their student feel confident with any question or situation they are presented with in their subject. With confidence, students are able to think clearer in exam environments, respond more to class discussions in school and feel less stressed about their learning journey. Ultimately, my goal is to…

Not expect the student to instantly understand everything.

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for their student, is tailor their teaching application to the student's needs and personality. Each individual is different, and there is no single one way of teaching. I believe students incredibly appreciate a teacher or tutor that will listen to their needs, and to see where their main focal…

To make a student understand things in an easy way. And be there for the students. I can find one students area of interest and as well as weakness and can concentrate on it.

I consider making the tutoring session a relaxed, relatively casual setting as one of the most important things a tutor can do. This way the student can focus solely on doing maths rather than being nervous about their surroundings. I also think it is extremely important that a tutor quickly understands how the student best learns and adapts their…

A few things are, 1. Make the session more productive and interactive. 2. When teaching something we should not try to make them memorize it, but we should make them understand it. 3.

This will ultimately strengthen their academic confidence, and allow students to grow from their mistakes. I have been able to adapt to a…

To be there for a student in a more personal and approachable way than the modern education system and its teachers can be, to help 'fill in the gaps' that the student may have missed in class and to be there for the student if they feel like the education system has failed them. Too many schools focus on the groups needs rather than the…

Inside FernhillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Jessica explored **moles, valence shells, chemical bonding, and isotopes** to build confidence with foundational chemistry concepts.

In Year 12, Ethan focused on **electron configuration using spdf notation** and analysed intermolecular forces relevant to his current physics unit.

Meanwhile, Zali in Year 4 practised times tables and made **strong progress** by working through multiplication challenges using oral recall and targeted worksheets.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Chemistry, a student had not yet prepared notes from class slides before tutoring sessions, which left her underprepared for upcoming molecular weight and electron configuration topics.

In Year 10 Maths, another student's written work lacked structure: "she should keep worksheets and working out more concise and organised," making revision harder.

A Year 8 student often practiced only familiar exponents but avoided tackling harder problems—this limited confidence in assessments.

Meanwhile, in Year 5, one child struggled to complete set homework consistently; tasks remained unfinished and revision routines were disrupted by this lack of follow-through.

Recent Achievements

One Fernhill tutor noticed a high school student who used to rush through maths problems now taking time to carefully evaluate each question, especially when working with negative numbers and long division; she's begun using mental strategies instead of guessing.

Another recent Fernhill tutoring session saw a Year 10 student proactively set her own academic goals, breaking down assessment tasks independently and asking targeted questions—whereas before she was reluctant to speak up.

Meanwhile, a younger student has stopped relying on finger counting for timetables and now volunteers to solve them aloud during lessons.

Maths tutoring in Fernhill

Maths doesn't have to be hard. The right support and the right approach change all that. Just ask any student who is doing well in maths - they usually love the feeling of "getting it". This is what we aim to create for students - intellectual independence and joy of learning. It's the only path to success in maths whether your goal is to pass or achieve A's. We focus on the content but also on teaching the right approach to learning maths. Probably the most common mistake students make is rule dependence, trying to memorize what to do without understanding why it's done that way - it doesn't work. But each student has their own issues, some with confidence others with silly mistakes or exam technique ...
