One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is guide that student to success, this can be achieved by listening and being attentive to the childs learning styles and needs. Patience and understanding. I believe that patience is one of the most important qualities to have as a tutor, this is because it can be very frustrating as a…

Give moral support and guidance. As a tutor, I don't give answers or solve the student's work, I want them to be able to solve it themselves and use their critical thinking skills with their knowledge of subject content. Subjects can be tough, as a tutor, I need to find ways to convey the same subject in an easier, convenient way to understand it.…

A tutor needs to help identify a student's strong points and motivate the students in every possible way. It's not always the tutor that should be valued and respected but the students also needs the same respect and care.

Teaching the content and helping them fully grasp it, rather than doing it for them. I find that a lot of subjects have a particular rhythm to them; although some require rote learning (like particular concepts, especially within math), there are always patterns that can be identified so that students achieve their very best. For example: Stage 2…

Inside Gepps CrossTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student James worked through coordinate geometry concepts such as finding gradients and midpoints, alongside algebra skills like solving equations with negative indices.

Year 10 student Priya focused on trigonometry basics—including sine and cosine rules—using diagrams to reinforce understanding, and also practiced factorising quadratic equations.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ella covered matrices multiplication and applied Dijkstra's Algorithm for shortest path problems in networks, preparing for her upcoming maths test.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 mathematics, a student repeatedly left working out incomplete during algebra tasks—"he could leave some space between working out to allow himself to easily back track and find the error," one tutor observed, leading to confusion when errors arose.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student in calculus struggled with test timing; anxiety about finishing meant skipped checks and missed marks on Product Rule questions.

For a Year 10 learner, forgotten summary sheets made it difficult to recall trigonometric identities in revision.

After setbacks, another senior student lost focus quickly, making it harder to recover understanding from previous sessions.

Recent Achievements

One Gepps Cross tutor noticed a Year 10 student who previously struggled with rearranging algebraic equations now independently solves for different variables without prompting, showing clear progress in self-reliance.

In a recent high school session, another student tackled complex trigonometric identities after initially needing step-by-step guidance—now, he identifies which formulas to use for problem solving on his own.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student mastered distinguishing between prime and composite numbers by confidently applying continuous division, whereas before she would hesitate and guess at random. Last week, she picked out all the primes from her worksheet correctly.

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 Enfield Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Gabriel's School.
