I think one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to actively listen and to be organised with planning lessons. It’s really important to understand exactly what the student requires. This could be done through a pre-assessment at the start of the sessions. The tutor can then take that work home and arrange the next lesson…

Suzi, Kilburn

Inside KilburnTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Jack revised coordinate geometry concepts including gradient, midpoint, and finding the length of a line segment, as well as basic index laws for algebra such as multiplication and division rules.

In Year 11, Sarah focused on collisions and two-dimensional momentum in physics before briefly touching on wave properties ahead of her test, using problem-solving exercises to reinforce understanding.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student James practiced differential calculus questions from a practice test, concentrating on techniques for differentiating various functions in preparation for his upcoming assessment.

Recent Challenges

In Year 12 Maths, one student's written work became cluttered and hard to review during index law questions—"leaving more space would help him spot errors quickly," a tutor observed.

Another Year 10 student relied on memory instead of showing working in trigonometry, leading to repeated sign slips and missed steps.

For a Year 8 student, worded problems in fractions were left unfinished as she hesitated to write out her thinking for fear of making mistakes.

In these moments, the process habits around layout and openness to feedback slowed progress and sometimes left them unsure where they'd gone wrong.

Recent Achievements

In Kilburn, a Year 10 student who previously struggled with algebraic rearrangement can now solve for different variables independently, marking a significant move away from step-by-step guidance.

During a senior session, another student—once prone to mistakes with surds and logarithms—is now differentiating these confidently and selecting the correct log rules on their own.

A primary school student has learned to use continuous division for identifying prime numbers; where she once hesitated or guessed, she now sorts primes from composites quickly by herself and even explained her method back to the tutor without being prompted.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Richard is a really lovely young man. He is very patient and good at explaining concepts. He is working really well with Annah and I think even in the 3 weeks we have had so far her understanding and confidence is growing.

Since Diali has started working with Brendan I have seen her motivation to engage in maths skyrocket. Prior, it took a great deal of coaxing to get her to do her homework, let alone to do anything extra relating to maths. Brendan has provided Diali with cause for a notable increase in her enthusiasm, sense of being encouraged, confidence and her incentive to work on her maths. She completes Brendan's assigned homework with enthusiasm (except when she is too tired at the end of the day) and she is practicing her times-tables with less resistance! She is looking forward to her next maths tutorial with Brendan. Brendan has a gentle, helpful and very supportive approach and he relates superwell to children. We are really so happy to have the support of Brendan as Diali's tutor.

We're proud of our son is achieving better results and thanks to a good tutor also who's I believe showing him the way also.

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 Enfield Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Brigid's School.
