That way they will be enthusiastic to learn from their…
A tutor needs to be reminded that it's their student they have to make better, not themselves, hence most of the time we should end up giving tasks to students and let them solve them themselves. Only to interrupt them when they are stuck or can't get over a problem, we should remember that we are more of assistants rather than problem solvers…

I believe that a tutor should be able to answer the student's questions in the particular subject that he/she is tutoring. In the unlikely scenario that the tutor is unable to answer the question, they will need to check and follow-up with the student as soon as possible. Another thing that a tutor can do is to tailor their teaching style to meet…

We are very happy with Baily.
She is very competent in math, but is also a very good teacher. She makes learning fun and the boys' relationship with her is developing well.
As a person, Baily has a lovely manner about her, is very respectful, but confident.
We are happy with Jordan so far. He seems to have acknowledged the areas Kate has problems with and is giving her homework tasks for these, as well as helping with some current class topics. She already seems to be feeling better about maths.
We're really happy with Rachel, and Sophie is relating to her well. We are seeing positive results in Sophie's math grades at school already.
