To reassure them that having a tutor and needing a bit of extra help is nothing to be ashamed of. Moreover than learning the tasks, helping them feel they're capable of more than they think they are.

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…

I think a tutor can teach a student how to learn a topic after it is explained by the tutor. Because at the end, it is the student who needs to learn by themselves after something is being taught to them. A tutor should make sure that anyone can learn those topics on their own if they are introduced by the tutor. My first strength as a tutor is my…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to make them feel comfortable to communicate with.

As mentioned above, to make a student feel comfortable is really important as it makes them more confident with the material not only in that subject but universally. They become more confident as a learner and will find it easier to develop the tools to solve problems themselves more independently of others. Additionally, as a tutor, I feel like…

One of the most important things I have realised over helping my friends in year 12 would be to walk through the question and not actually doing the question for the student. Sure you could do the question for them and they could get full marks for an assignment or whatever, but they would not understand the fundamentals lying behind the question…

Inside Sefton ParkTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student James worked through the rules of index laws, focusing on expanding and simplifying algebraic expressions with brackets and exponents.

A Year 9 student explored coordinate geometry by calculating gradients, midpoints, and lengths of line segments, while also practicing multiplication and division using index laws in algebra.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student tackled Pythagoras' theorem and trigonometry problems relevant to their classwork, applying these concepts to solve real-world worded questions.

Recent Challenges

Several process obstacles were noted across different year levels.

In Year 5, Molly repeatedly did not complete her assigned maths homework and was unable to show progress on a project between sessions, which meant she missed chances to reinforce skills like multiplication and data analysis. As one tutor observed, "Molly did not do any work after we finished the previous lesson and did not even appear to have added anything to the document."

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student struggled with organizing working for algebraic problems; his cluttered layout made it difficult to find sign errors when reviewing solutions.

During revision for calculus in Year 12, anxiety about timing led him to skip checking steps—this resulted in repeated mistakes during induction proofs and left him frustrated by small but costly errors.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Sefton Park noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who used to struggle with algebra—he now completes assigned tasks efficiently and even rearranges equations without help, something he couldn't do before.

Another win came from a senior student who picked up calculus rapidly; she differentiated surds and worked through logarithms with minimal prompting, showing initiative by asking for tougher problems mid-session.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who was hesitant about multiplication last term now remembers her times tables and volunteers answers during lessons, finishing all ten practice questions correctly this week.

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 Prospect Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Our Lady of the Sacred Heart College.
