In my humble opinion, I believe that ACTIVE LISTENING is the most important quality that good tutors must possess. - Good tutors must recognise that students generally have an idea of the topic at hand. Instead of simply continuing to "teach" it is vital that tutors ask students of their understanding of the topic so that gaps in knowledge can…

According to my experience, student need to get overall objective and subjective knowledge to compare ideal and non-ideal example of real world experience through tutor. The best thing tutor can do is to motivate and educate the student by connecting from the student’s point of interest. Besides, tutor should prepare objective questions to make…

The most important thing a tutor can do for students is to understand them, as no students are same and everyone requires different approach to be able to learn. I feel in this field, patience and skill to understand a students strength/weakness is very crucial. Nonetheless, good knowledge of subject being taught should always remain top priority…

Thus, the most important thing a tutor can do for their students are to fully engage and give them more attention that otherwise the students’ school teachers cannot, due to the larger scale of their classes. 1) My interpersonal…

Inside KelmscottTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Sarah reviewed mean, median, and mode in statistics and completed practice on pie graphs and line graphs.

In Year 8, James focused on multiplying and simplifying algebraic fractions as well as using Pythagoras' theorem to solve for missing side lengths in right-angled triangles.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Emily worked through solving linear equations with two unknowns and practiced transposing equations to isolate variables efficiently.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11, one student relied heavily on their calculator during classpad work, leading to gaps in manual problem-solving; as noted, "some questions or tests…require him to show his workings."

For a Year 9 algebra session, untidy layout and incomplete working made it hard to track errors—initial messy setting out led to mistakes when converting percentages.

In a Year 8 statistics lesson, homework was left unfinished and not brought to the session.

A primary student's missing notebook delayed the start of her maths tutoring by several minutes, disrupting focus right from the beginning of the session.

Recent Achievements

In a Kelmscott tutoring session, there was a noticeable shift in one high school student, Owen, who used to get stuck on algebra and linear equations but now asks for extra homework and recently taught himself how to find the distance between two points—a topic he once found confusing.

Another win came from Miriam (Year 9), who not only brought her own questions to sessions but has started completing her homework with hardly any errors after previously struggling to keep up.

For a younger primary student, Tawny showed new independence by correcting her own unit mistakes when calculating areas—something she needed lots of guidance on before.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

She has been SUPER professional. I would recommend her without hesitation. She is responsible, has made a connection with my son, has communicated with me and kept me informed all the time. She is a great asset. We look forward to working with her in the future.

I am so happy for the tutor you sent us he was a lovely young man and my son related to him very well.

My daughter and I are both very happy with Thibault. She has only had one session with him but said he was good at explaining and he was able to answer her questions. He was also encouraging, punctual and very polite. We are very happy to continue with him.

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 Kelmscott Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Kelmscott Primary School.
