A tutor does not just teach a student a particular subject. I believe that the most important function of a tutor is to foster overall academic confidence in a student and to develop better study techniques/learning habits more generally. A good tutor can give a student motivation and techniques to achieve not only in the tutored subject, but in…

I consider the time and space a tutor gives to the student the most important thing. It is all about what they, as the student, are comfortable with. However, this does not stop another important aspect; pushing a student through their limits in order to achieve their goals. These are the most important things a tutor can do for a student. I…

I would not want a single moment to pass for my students thinking that they lack in any way. A few hard problems to solve at school are not enough to discourage them.

A successful tutuor does more than merely help a student to raise their grade. In my opinion, a tutor should make an impression on a student.

If a tutor can teach and guide the student into having confidence and a good skill set to be able to feel comfortable doing the work at school, and it gives students self-assurance, then the tutor has done their…

Listen and teach. I think it is so important for students to be listened to and helped accordingly. They must be given the space to work through problems they are facing themselves so that they can believe in their own abilities and increase their own self-efficacy. It is vital that the student can not only regurgitate an answer or process but…

Inside MaylandsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Sarah worked on simplifying algebraic expressions and solving equations for unknowns, using practice problems to strengthen confidence.

In Year 9, Daniel focused on converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages as well as finding the area of composite shapes by breaking them into parts.

For Year 10, Lily reviewed calculations involving box and whisker plots alongside key probability concepts, applying these skills to real data scenarios.

Recent Challenges

In Year 4 mathematics, one student became distracted during multi-step calculation tasks—by the final questions, focus drifted and errors increased, especially with addition and subtraction over ten.

"He skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors," a tutor noted for a Year 8 lesson: incomplete working meant mistakes went unnoticed until review.

In senior years (Year 10), homework was sometimes left unfinished when confusion arose; these unattempted problems limited exposure to essential problem-solving strategies.

Handwriting issues also emerged—misreading their own workings caused setbacks during geometry revision, leading to unnecessary frustration and wasted time searching for lost logic mid-task.

Recent Achievements

A Maylands tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to avoid checking his answers now takes time to double-check clues and fix mistakes independently, showing real initiative during problem-solving.

In a recent high school session, another student who previously hesitated with algebraic equations made a breakthrough—speaking aloud their reasoning and picking up factorising much more quickly than before.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who often lost focus was able to study for twenty minutes without complaint and converted tricky fractions accurately, finally finishing all assigned problems in one sitting for the first time.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Hello , both Ruby and I are very happy with her expanding understanding and Boris is a positive , patient and focused young man , he seems to be connecting with Ruby quite well with mutual respect . We look forward to more understanding.

Thank you for your follow up of my son's tutor.  I am very happy with Ben and my son told me that he is getting along with Ben, much better than his previous teacher.  Ben's teaching techniques is very different compare to his previous teacher, therefore my son is finding he has learnt much more with Ben.  Thank you for sending him such a good teacher.  I would highly recommend Ben to my friends if they ever need a tutor. Thank you.

I would like to say that Justin is a wonderful young man. I know it's only early stages but Arin had a smile on his face that filled my heart. Arin has a lot of respect for Justin, which tells me there is a good connection or understanding developing. Thank you for finding us Justin. In Arin's words ' I have learnt more with Justin in three lessons than with the other tutor we had over the past year'Âť. I think we can say Arin has gotten off to a great start. My only hope is that Justin is also comfortable with us.
