Being a medical student, I value how education builds an individual. Having the right mentors and teachers during one's educational journey can either make or break them. Students look up to their mentors and tutors for various reasons. Students already interact with teachers at school, so they require a friend who understands their problems and…

A good tutor needs to understand the student's needs and areas of weakness and work on them. A tutor can engage more in helping the student understand specific concepts and make the environment of teaching interesting. The teaching environment can be made interesting by giving the students a reason to learn the concepts and showing real-world…

The most important thing a tutor can do is not to flaunt their own brainpower like a flashy superhero cape. Instead, it’s about helping students discover their own hidden superpowers and showing them how to wield these talents for their own success. Think of it like being a treasure map that leads them to their own buried gems—helping them…

I think that a tutor should not limit themselves to just subject knowledge. They should research more on effective teaching methods and strategies that might help them connect to their students more. They should develop practices that make a student's life easier and should understand the individual needs of the students. Often tutors have to…

I think the most important thing is making the student feel comfortable asking questions. A tutor should focus on understanding where the student is getting stuck and help them build confidence, not just give answers. I'm patient and I don't rush students. If something doesn't click the first time, I'm happy to explain it again in a different way.…

As a tutor, it is very important that the teacher becomes an inspiration to the student.

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to get a proper understanding of the level of mathematical 'maturity' of a specific student, rather than just assuming a certain background knowledge. Once this is established, it's possible to get the core of what exactly a student is struggling with (usually a particular fundamental concept) and…

A student will need a tutor because he/she couldn't understand what was being taught in class. The best thing for a tutor to do is focus on the parts that the student failed to understand and strengthen their understanding in those areas.

Local Reviews

Emmad is one of the best tutors we have used. He is knowledgeable, patient and effectively communicates maths topics. He works hard at not only relaying the topic that needs covering but understanding where your child's weakness is ( not necessarily understanding the topic but perhaps test anxiety or poor study habits for example ). I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a maths tutor.

Inside LockleysTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Portia practised volume calculations for rectangular prisms and revisited fraction equivalence using diagrams.

Year 8 student Tom focused on linear equations, including worded problems, and strengthened skills in factorisation and basic indices.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student revised trigonometry with right-angled triangles and explored coordinate geometry concepts such as gradient and midpoint using graph sketches.

Recent Challenges

A Year 4 student often rushed reading aloud, skipping over punctuation and words—this led to confusion when tackling place value questions like "543,765." As one tutor observed, "reads a little too quickly without recognising punctuation," which made accurate number writing difficult.

In Year 8 algebra, setting out equations in columns was sometimes neglected, causing lost working and errors during factorisation.

Meanwhile, a senior student preparing for the Maths Pathways test misplaced values when entering data into a graphics calculator, having to wait for the school device due to online calculator confusion. Confidence dipped after these setbacks.

Recent Achievements

One Lockleys tutor noted a Year 10 student who previously avoided seeking help now initiates questions about unfamiliar algebraic processes, showing clear growth in self-advocacy.

A Year 8 learner, once hesitant to attempt long multiplication independently, surprised herself by working through all steps without prompts and checking her answers with the distributive law.

Meanwhile, a younger student in Year 4 began re-reading sentences out loud for clarity during reading tasks—she used to rush and skip tricky words but now takes time to sound them out before moving on.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Najim has been great. Milan is very comfortable with him and Najim is showing him lots of alternative strategies and highlighting areas for practice before their next session.

Kaitlyn and Jet have had a wonderful start to the term. Judging by the two lessons his had she has managed to make a world of difference already. Kaitlyn has a wonderful personality and has so much patience. I have nothing but praise for her.

We are so far really happy with jun woo. He is highly competent and seems to be doing a great job with Ashton.

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