One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to explain concepts they are confused with in a way that is suited to their individual learning style. This can be achieved by spending some initial time to learn about the students subject weaknesses and strengths to understand how they learn and tailoring the teaching style to suit…

The most valuable thing you can provide a student is a high level intuitive understanding of a topic. Once someone has this, the details become easier to understand, as they fit in as a part of a bigger picture instead of details to me wrote memorized. Because of my higher study in physics and engineering, I am able to explain where topics fit…

So far I have found several factors that make for good tutors. Firstly building a strong and personal relationship with the student is very important as the more connected a student feels to his or her tutor, the more the tutor can add essential ingredients for students to learn and grow. Secondly, communication and collaboration with the student,…

As far as my understanding, as a tutor, he/she always needs to motivate their students to think more widely and creatively. It is true, initially, they will fail several times. Allowing them to do it, will build their confidence for their future, which will be eventually worth it for their life. As a tutor, I am always friendly, patiently try to…

The most important thing for a tutor would be the ability to establish a connection with students, letting the student know you are there to try and assist them. This in turn would allow for the student to feel more comfortable creating a more effective learning environment. I have an in-depth knowledge of my subjects and a flexible and adaptive…

I touched on some of these points in my previous answers, but as a tutor I believe the ultimate goal should be to provide one's students with an academic toolbox in the form of an understanding of the fundamental principles of any given topic. By covering first principles, and providing students with problem-solving abilities, he or she can then…

The student should excel and learn more. Gained unique abilities or skills on how to handle certain math problems, and as the student excels he learns the way of his/her own.

I definitely think that there needs to be a solid understanding of the student and the way in which they learn so that the tutor can teach them in a way which is most effective to them.

Inside Fig Tree PocketTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Meg tackled ratio problems and reviewed tricky questions from class, often using visual examples to support understanding.

In Year 8, Sophie worked through a maths practice test and explored probability concepts with real-world style questions.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Jack revised derivatives and logarithms by tackling past exam-style questions, helping consolidate his skills ahead of assessment.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 Maths, one student consistently avoided the final exam questions—especially multi-step problems with unfamiliar scenarios—preferring to revisit easier practice sets. This meant they missed chances to build confidence tackling the hardest test sections.

For a Year 11 Engineering assignment, another student delayed starting the "solve" section until prompted, leading to rushed last-minute work and overlooked feedback ("needs to make sure that his PSMT is done up to the solve section by next Wednesday").

In Year 6, forgetting about lessons altogether resulted in missed homework submissions and falling behind on key content.

Recent Achievements

A Fig Tree Pocket tutoring session saw a Year 10 student, who had previously struggled with homework independence, tackle all assigned maths problems solo and even achieve a B+ on her recent test—she only needed to check one answer with the tutor.

Meanwhile, a senior student finally cracked the logic behind quadratic discriminants after weeks of confusion, confidently applying it to enrichment questions that used to feel out of reach.

At primary level, one younger learner surprised their tutor by reading instructions aloud for the first time without prompting before completing all ten worksheet problems on their own.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I believe Paige is beginning to ask Jake more questions. I have advised her if she is still unsure of something she should ask for Jake to explain it again or in a different way. I feel she is starting to have more faith and she has advised me she is understanding some concepts a bit more clearly.

I see how much more confident Nicholas is with maths, the teachers at school have noticed a difference, and he is eager to do maths now as where before he wasn't. In regards to Wade, well he is just gorgeous. He has built up a great relationship with Nicholas, and he actually waits for Wade each week..  Wade makes it fun, for Nicholas to do maths. Nicholas told me last week, s" when i get a question wrong, Wade makes me remember how to do it with a trick."  I think Wade explains it to him in a way that he understands it. I think Wade is fantastic at what he does and you can tell he loves his maths. cheers.

Thanks for this.The first tutorial seemed to go very well.  Jet was certainly very positive about Josh!

Local Spots for Tutoring
