I am a retired teacher/lecturer with 45+ years of experience teaching various maths and science subjects to primary, high school and tertiary students. This background gives me the ability to help tutor students who are struggling with the maths and/or science components of their education to achieve stated goals. I believe in working with each…
Simplify lessons such that the students will understand and will not forget easily. I do draft personal time table for each of my student, based on their peculiar situations. I have a long teaching stamina, and retentive memory. I can easily know when students are not understanding my lessons. I do request feedback easily for improvement. I…
The most important things I can do for a student are to foster a supportive and engaging learning environment that encourages their curiosity, growth, and confidence.

I think the most important thing is giving students learning and study strategies which they can apply across different subjects and learning areas.

Be patient with them and help them fully understand the topic, the problem and the solution before moving on. Always cheer them up even though they may get it wrong several times. Help them improve their skills, broaden their mindset, acquire more knowledge and be more confident. I am optimistic and eager about teaching. I have also heard from…
The most important thing that can be done is to give as many resources as necessary. I say this because of all the tutors I have had, the most helpful was the one that gave me access to endless resources which constantly had me practicing my content which greatly assisted me in realising my weaknesses. Another important factor would be to be as…
I believe that it is important for a tutor to understand that each child is unique in their own way. They have different strengths and weaknesses and with that their own capacity of understanding. As tutors its our responsibility to analyze and best suit our teaching methods to meet each child's unique levels in order to ensure that the child has…
Teach students HOW to learn in future. Give them techniques to implement into their everyday school routine that will, in the long run, benefit their understanding.
I believe it is equally important to really listen to students properly. As someone who has received tutoring before, when your tutor misinterprets you, it is difficult to get to the…
The most important thing a tutor can do is to provide guidance and support for the students. Adapting teaching methodologies and helping students with critical thinking and problem-solving skills. As a tutor, my strength is the ability to explain complex situations with simple and relatable ideas. I am also patient, agile, and attentive towards my…
Sometimes students are going through external things that may affect their progress. Slow progress does not always mean that they are not trying. The most important thing in my opinion is motivating them so that they believe that if they try their best they will be more than happy with the results. I am extremely patient and I am great at getting…
A tutor is responsible for motivating a student in order to achieve excellent grades.
A tutor does not only train a student academically but also guides them to the right path in life by sharing their own experiences. I would consider demonstrating openness and listening to the needs of a child to be a positive trait for a tutor. I am definitely…
Being able to help them achieve their goals and make them feel like they can overcome whatever learning barrier is in their way. Tutors do this by being friendly and unjudgemental while giving clear, understandable explanations in order to help the student achieve their goals. I will be able to explain things clearly in a way the student can…
To understand the needs of a student and try to work out a plan together so that the student feel that he or she could reach the goal. A tutor must know the student well to be able to give effective support. I am approachable and understanding towards my students' needs.

Understand the student's weak points and help them overcome them. I like to provide easy to understand methods to solve/remember the content.
I also try to relate the content to things that they might relate to on a day to day basis for better…
I think tutors should think from the student's perspective. Also should try to understand the level of students by talking to them. If someone is not good at the base, can start from there and make them feel good and that will help the learning process. As a tutor, I can listen to the student carefully, understand them and can identify the area…
I think that as a tutor, we should be different from teachers at school. We should provide extra care to their needs and catering to what areas of a particular topic they are struggling with, in order for them to improve. Therefore, I think that conducting a personalized teaching plan for the students to observe and explore what methods they can…

This allows me to teach the fundamentals to a high level and high to apply these fundamentals to harder problems, and eventually get them to the level they no longer need a tutor I have over half a decade of experience in tutoring and…
Pre-assessing the student, teaching and post-assessing him/her is very important. Trying to understand what learning methods are more suitable for each student and making a note of them are also equally important. Identifying any SENs and catering them suitably, is another major act. Friendly manner and professionalism
Patience with kids
Ability…
Most students believe that they are just naturally weak at a subject and just decide to hate it for that reason. A tutor who can help a student understand the concepts in a subject better will also help make the student like the subject better. That change in attitude towards the subject will make/help the student learn better and faster. I am…
Being a student myself, i literally have lots of doubts that i would really want to clear and get an idea of the topics that i feel might trouble me a bit, so i feel that, a tutor must posses always be available to solve and manage all the doubts that the student can ponder upon. I can clearly understand the mindset of students that i have taught…

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.
