The most important things a tutor can do for a student are to build their confidence, foster independent thinking, and create a safe, supportive space for learning. A tutor should go beyond simply explaining content they should help students develop problem-solving skills, effective study habits, and a deeper understanding of the subject. It's…

I believe that tutors are teachers’ assistant.

Make sure that you're not doing the work for them, only assisting them in their learning- For it will be them sitting the exam come the end of the year.

I believe it is most important for a tutor to tailor their teaching according to the needs of their student.

Inside NailsworthTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Sophie practised division and focused on mastering the 8 times tables, with some attention given to properties of triangles.

Year 7 student Daniel explored index laws by working through multiplication and division of exponents, then moved on to understanding scientific notation in context.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Alex tackled trigonometry problems involving bearings and also worked through probability questions using tree diagrams for visual support.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student repeatedly arrived without having completed assigned homework, including multiplication revision and a maths assignment—one tutor noted, "she could not provide a valid excuse." This led to uncertainty in applying exponent logic and negative indices on tests.

In Year 5, one student avoided practising times tables outside sessions; when tested, she defaulted to finger-counting and hesitated after each step, asking if answers were correct.

A senior secondary student relied heavily on her graphic calculator for linear equations but struggled when asked to interpret or lay out solutions by hand, which masked errors until review time.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Nailsworth recently noticed a Year 10 student who used to struggle with abstract algebra now choosing more challenging textbook questions on her own and asking for clarification only after attempting them first.

Another high schooler, previously hesitant about calculus, started recognising where to use logarithm laws to solve derivative problems without prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger student who once relied heavily on times tables charts decided to tackle multiplication exercises independently this week, getting most answers right and showing real eagerness to try before checking her work.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I just wanted to express my thanks to you and my son's tutor Sam. With his assistance Grady improved his maths results from virtually failing the subject to achieving a very respectable B + for his end of year  11 final grade. Sam was personable and patient, encouraging and motivating. Even though my son has decided not to continue studying maths in year  12 , I am delighted with the results he was able to achieve ,and the confidence and self- belief he attained. Please pass these comments on to Sam. Again, thank you so much.

All good so far, both Will and I are very happy with Ben. He is good value. Highly recommend him.

Our tutor is Anthony. We have found his interaction with our son Benn has proven very rewarding. Benn has taken to Anthony and sees him as a mentor as well as a tutor. He has only praise and admiration for Anthony. At our discussions with Benn  after each tutorial Benn has a renewed interest and passion for Math. Anthony and Benn seem to have similar interests in physics and sciences which I think helps. He is also providing and encouraging Benn with his confidence not just in math but in all things. I would like to offer our satisfaction and praise in Anthony's professionalism and he is a testimonial to your business
