I believe the most important thing a biology tutor can offer a child is patience. Impatience does not create a suitable learning environment. Qualities like these can prevent a child from wanting to learn, they may negatively associate with the subject, putting them further behind. Every child can succeed, given enough time. I have strengths as…

The most important things a biology tutor can do for a student are: 1. Helping students gain confidence as well as the skills they need to meet their goals. 2. Helping students relieve their academic stress and support them as much as I can. One of my main strengths is that I have numerous study techniques that I can share with them. Hence, my…

I strongly believe that tutor are in a position, where they can not only help the student with solving a problem, but also build their confidence so that they become confident in solving any type of problems independently. It is also about teaching them how to approach a question instead of giving them the answers. For example, helping them to…

I believe the most important thing a biology tutor can do for a student is to give them the confidence to never stop trying to learn despite few low moments. I personally, encourage students to ask even the most basic questions which come across their mind and to never feel ashamed of wanting to learn more or being curious. In my opinion,…

Create a non-toxic environment where a student feel comfortable to learn and ask questions. To me I feel this to be the most important factor in learning as feeling comfortable with asking questions and knowing you won't recieve a toxic response is vital in a student excelling in a subject.

I believe encouraging a students desire to learn is one of the best things a biology tutor can do for their students, and learning can only be joyful when you understand what you're taught.

Katherine was great with the girls. Very organised, assertive and patient. She has surpassed my expectations, so I am really happy with her and so are the girls.

Inside PenfieldTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ariana practiced identifying symmetry in shapes and began a Year 4 content quiz to reinforce her understanding.

For Year 9, Amelia worked on algebra skills, including factorisation with pairs and the difference of two squares, using practice problems to build confidence.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Jackson focused on linear equations for a maths assignment, tackling concepts like parallel and perpendicular lines as well as slopes—covering negatives, zero slope, and undefined cases.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student often left major research tasks until the last minute, leading to rushed work and "little time to polish," as noted after a Research Project session.

The same student sometimes relied heavily on lesson time for assignment completion rather than preparing notes or articles in advance; one week, not having articles ready cost valuable analysis time.

In Year 10 mathematics, skipping steps when solving equations was observed: "student needs to double check the carrying of values between steps, also sometimes skips the steps in an equation when written."

During a Year 8 biology session, key materials—including test papers—were forgotten at home, preventing review and making targeted feedback impossible.

Recent Achievements

One Penfield tutor noticed a big shift with Flynn, a high school student who used to hesitate with algebra but recently started thinking out loud and correcting his own process when he got stuck.

Another secondary student, Sam, has begun showing more initiative in English—he re-engaged with his Research Project by coming up with thoughtful interview questions on his own and recently earned an A for his newspaper PowerPoint after previously struggling to organise ideas.

Meanwhile, a younger learner, Vikrant, who at first had trouble remembering number order past ten, now fills in missing numbers up to twenty with only minor errors and traces words while saying them aloud.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Amity is enjoying her tutouring. She is very pleased as she recently received an academic award at school meaning she had received A for all subjects for last term. So we are very happy with Xiaoya.

Tutoring is going very well she's starting to show some progress now which is good and Deanna works her hard which is great.

Since Ben has had Jacques tutoring, he has achieved an A++ (15/15) for his maths assignment!!!

Biology tutoring in Penfield

It takes a lot to do well in biology. Moving up the curriculum can be a challenge and if students don't jump in with both feet it's easy to fall behind.

Catching up while others move on to a completely different area can cause a serious drop in motivation. While most students manage to stay afloat and get the grades they want, it doesn't have to be such an uphill battle.
 
Guided learning and the support of a mentor can make high school science subjects less of a challenge. While it's definitely important to notice when children need a hand, it's also hard to know what kind of support they need. This is when most parents contact us.
