teach the student how to study and how to look for answers. most students are overwhelmed by the diversity of subjects and cant relate them together. I believe the best a tutor can do is how to classify subjects and become self-sufficient. I believe I can find the concept that the student Is having problems with and the reason they find a subject…

The most important thing that I believe that a tutor can do for a student is to make them self-confident and self-reliant and encourage them to open up their minds start thinking on their own rather than just mugging up the bookish knowledge. I have got a lot of patience with kids and am able to convey my thoughts to them at the same time…

A vital aspect of tutoring is being non-judgemental. it is important for a tutor to make the student feel comfortable to share if they do not understand something or are struggling. If a student feels as if they will be judged or considered inadequate they are less likely to come to tutor’s for help. Building a strong relationship is extremely…

Ensuring that the student enjoys and understands the learning process better. That failure is a part of not only education but life and that the biggest growth can result from failure (eg J. K. Rowling, A. Einstein, M. Jordan). Be patient. I've always appreciated a patient teacher, it takes the pressure of needing to perform in front of someone…

Besides helping them understand and learn a topic, the tutor should also help the student master the topic through mastery learning. Mastery learning is a way of designing units of work so that each set of tasks focuses on a particular learning objective and students must master a task to move onto the next one. The tutor should also help the…

The core of encouragement is to give our students confidence. Be able to explain the problem patiently, break down the incomprehensible problem, draw inferences…

I think the most important thing is to give them an interest in the subjects. In my study path, I realized that the easiest way to study well in a subject is loving them. Therefore, instead of providing them with a full of academic lessons, teachers should help them feel entertained in the lessons. Then, they will find out and get better by…

Inside MaylandsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Pranavi covered timetables up to 12x and practised recognising basic equivalent fractions using denominators up to 5.

In Year 7, Milly worked on converting fractions to decimals and percentages as well as applying order of operations with division questions.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Harrison focused on solving quadratic equations by applying the null factor law and reviewed methods for factorising quadratics in preparation for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

In Year 7–8 maths, several students relied heavily on written calculation for times tables (e.g., "she needs to work out the answer on paper" for 12 × 12), which slowed progress in fractions and long division.

A tutor noted, "she sometimes puts the 3 in the thousands column instead of hundreds," revealing how layout issues disrupted multi-digit subtraction.

In Year 10 algebra, one student could express answers verbally but struggled to write equations accurately—especially with negative coefficients and variables—often missing crucial signs.

In English, another student's tendency to omit quotation marks or misplace commas made dialogue unclear and marked down her writing.

Recent Achievements

One Maylands tutor noticed Milly, a high school student, now self-corrects her mistakes in algebraic expressions—she highlights like terms and revises her answers without prompting, which was a big shift from needing step-by-step help.

In another session, Harrison demonstrated greater independence in trigonometry by recalling the correct ratios and showing his full working when solving for unknown sides, something he'd hesitated to do previously.

Meanwhile, with younger students, Naba moved from tracing numbers with guidance to writing several digits unaided (2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9) during maths activities.
