Furthermore, there's the added advantage of being able…

Summer has had her first lesson with Syed and is very happy. He is a strong communicator and has helped her understand concepts in one lesson that she previously struggled with.

Inside GlendaloughTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Michael focused on multiplication and division strategies, including using number lines to visualise equal groups.

In Year 6, Grace worked through fractions and decimals, applying these to solve everyday money problems.

Meanwhile, Year 7 student Lily tackled perimeter and area calculations alongside practice with algebraic expressions for missing numbers.

Recent Challenges

A Year 7 student arrived without having attempted their homework, which meant less time could be spent addressing specific difficulties in algebra.

In Year 10, one student struggled to plan effectively for a test—"he didn't check his answers before submitting," as noted—which led to repeated calculation errors in trigonometry questions.

For a Year 4 learner, working in her head rather than writing steps down caused forgotten calculations during long division.

Another senior student showed declining focus after setbacks; "her concentration was good for the first half but faded," making it harder to master advanced fractions by session's end.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Glendalough recently saw a Year 10 student who had previously struggled with algebra start to grasp the process of solving equations independently, even choosing to tackle more challenging questions without prompting.

In another session, a Year 8 student who used to avoid worded maths problems now approaches them confidently and can break down double-digit multiplication tasks with far less hesitation.

Meanwhile, one of our younger students, after weeks of shyness about reading aloud, surprised her tutor by volunteering to read the next chapter during their session.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I am confident that Mandeep's approach is just what Hugo and Havier need to lift their confidence and capabilities to be the best they can be.

We really appreciated Arman‘s efforts and enthusiasm even when Aby was playing up. He is a wonderful teacher!

She is one of the finest tutors I have seen. Her consistency and persistent attitude towards the children growth makes her exceptional. Because of her, my niece developed confidence in all phases of education.

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 Cambridge Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Chrysalis Montessori School.
