According to me, it is to be open and provide a comfortable environment to the students, where they can study and share their thoughts without hesitating. Apart from this, it is to make learning a fun process by teaching in a more fun way, this includes doing different activities to make children understand the concepts, etc. I do possess great…

Second, ongoing communication is essential, to ensure the curriculum is thoroughly covered and to pinpoint and understand weak areas. This allows students to ask for repeated or…

A tutor should also spark interest and enthusiasm in the subject. I am a…

Inside Herne HillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 Myra worked on adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions—including worded problems—and practiced decimal operations and telling time for upcoming assessments.

In Year 10, Zariah focused on rearranging physics equations (such as d = vt and Ek = ½mv²), solving real-world energy questions, and using scientific notation.

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student tackled projectile motion with oblique launches and explored circular motion concepts like normal force calculations and period/frequency using problem-solving steps.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student's algebra work showed a tendency to commit early to one method, even when the first approach led to simple mistakes, which made correcting errors more difficult.

In Year 12 calculus, skipping the step of multiplying by the derivative in chain rule questions meant correct answers were missed after good starts.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 learner's unstructured working out in equations left them lost mid-problem and unsure which formula to use.

For a Year 4 maths task on time formats, unclear layout between AM/PM and 24-hour clocks caused confusion—so reading back through solutions became frustrating instead of clarifying.

Recent Achievements

One Herne Hill tutor noticed a Year 12 student who previously hesitated to attempt exam-style questions is now asking for more challenging problems and can complete several independently, especially after mastering simultaneous equations.

Another high schooler made a clear leap by not just recalling theorems but confidently applying them to unfamiliar situations without prompting—something they struggled with before.

Meanwhile, a younger student in Year 5 who once avoided mental maths now solves addition and subtraction tasks out loud, checking her own answers and only asking for help when truly stuck. Last session, she finished all ten problems without errors.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Just thought I would let you know Eden received the highest mark in her math class for the year common test.  The teacher was very impressed and I had one very happy daughter.

We are very happy with Matt , he is a good personality match for James and he is finding the sessions most valuable.

Thanks for the follow up. We could not be happier with Avi.  Alex really likes and respects her. She is already helping to build his confidence and having him see that he actually doing very well. We would like to continue with her for sure.

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 Midland Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Herne Hill Primary School.
