The most important goal for a physics tutor is to spark students' interest in the subject. Tutoring is not only about assisting with a student's grade. I do believe, though, that every student should find out what they are enthusiastic about. Due to my dual language proficiency in English and Chinese as an international student, I have experience…

Help. A tutor should allow for the student to work with their strengths to solve problems, and also to work on weaknesses. a physics tutor should work with a student, ie. adapt to how different students work, and help them work according to their process.

I believe that it is important for tutors to be passionate about teaching. This way, it is easier for the student to gain interest in the subject, which ultimately leads to better performance from the student as they are more motivated to study and learn. I also think that it is important for tutors to create a comfortable learning environment for…

A tutor needs to always be supportive. A student needs a physics tutor because (s)he wants help. Sometimes not getting a good result can be frustrating for them. A tutor needs to make sure that the students are motivated to improve. I'm good at understanding why the students are stuck, whether it is not knowing how to apply a formula or weak…

The most important thing a physics tutor can do for a student is to give them the skills to solve unfamiliar problems that they have not learned a method of solving, and require them to devise their own unique approach to the problem. My biggest strengths as a tutor are that I have a very patient approach to teaching and that I am able to clearly…

Tutors are expected to bolster student grades however this is not their true purpose, A tutor should help to develop students to not only achieve greater marks but also to have a greater understanding of the field they are being tutored in. This should extend beyond the tutoring time as the student develops the skills required to support…

I think a physics tutor can teach a student how to learn a topic after it is explained by the tutor. Because at the end, it is the student who needs to learn by themselves after something is being taught to them. A tutor should make sure that anyone can learn those topics on their own if they are introduced by the tutor. My first strength as a…

One of the most important things I have realised over helping my friends in year 12 would be to walk through the question and not actually doing the question for the student. Sure you could do the question for them and they could get full marks for an assignment or whatever, but they would not understand the fundamentals lying behind the question…

Be patient, sometime students are having a hard time to understand some new confusing concepts in math or physics. It is important to explain the concept to students in a different way.

Inside Leawood GardensTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Lucy worked on index laws and practiced adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions.

For Year 11, Divyanshu focused on differentiating rational functions using first principles in Mathematical Methods and covered the basics of stoichiometry and unit conversions in Chemistry.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Mia tackled titration questions in Chemistry—including a brief introduction to chromatography—and explored the chain rule for differentiation in Maths using both f'(x) and dy/dx notation.

Recent Challenges

In Year 12 Chemistry, one student often hesitated to attempt drawing complex organic structures without first reviewing textbook examples—this led to delays and incomplete practice, especially with esters and amides.

As a tutor noted, "he struggled to number the side chains accurately," which affected his confidence during timed tasks.

Meanwhile, in Year 9 Maths, another student found recalling index laws from memory challenging; when faced with unfamiliar surd questions or fraction conversions, written working was sometimes skipped or left half-finished.

This resulted in errors going unnoticed until later review sessions, adding frustration and extra catch-up work before assessments.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Leawood Gardens recently noticed a big shift with a Year 9 student who, after previously struggling to put pen to paper, wrote a full-length essay independently within just one week.

Meanwhile, a senior chemistry student moved from needing step-by-step help with reaction equations to accurately identifying amines solo as primary, secondary, or tertiary by the end of the session.

For a younger learner, Lucy has begun tackling fraction problems without prompting—last term she hesitated and needed reminders for each step, but now attempts solutions solo before asking for guidance.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Jacques seems quite happy with the 3 weeks tutoring he has had and when asked says he is enjoying the lessons. So a good start.

Sophie is responding to Rounak very well. Rounak is a great teacher and Sophie gets along well with him. We're all very happy!

It is going very well. Katie is a truly lovely person. Cassandra has responded well. It is going as well as it can. Cassandra is naturally avoidant of the subjects that she is being tutored in, currently with Katie we are doing one week on Maths and the following week on English and so on. Cassandra engages in the tutoring, and does seem to learn, despite her being sure that she doesn't need a tutor. My partner and myself are very busy at the moment and don't have time to tutor her ourselves, besides, she doesn't like to listen to us, whereas, she will sit beautifully with the tutor. So it really works in that way.

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 Fullarton Park Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Seymour College.
