The most important thing an english tutor can do for their student is never let them lose their confidence and motivation. Before assessments most students are their worst enemy, stressing themselves out to the point in which they forget everything they have learned. I too have done this and know it comes from a lack of confidence. Therefore, it…

The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is first get comfortable with the student, this will allow the student to be able to freely ask any questions that they may have to the tutor. Secondly, a tutor should be patient with the student as there is no such thing as a bad student, only a bad teacher. If the teacher has…

Amber is a brilliant tutor - enthusiastic, knowledgeable and well prepared for each session. She makes the most of the time and has a great way of explaining things and yet still ensures the student is thinking for themselves. Gareth is feeling much more confident now and we are really pleased that we have Amber as his tutor to help him be his best for his upcoming final year at school.

Inside SheldonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Riya worked on decimal operations including rounding, addition, subtraction, and multiplication, as well as tackling worded problems involving decimals.

In Year 10, Michael focused on bivariate data analysis using Pearson's correlation coefficient and practiced note-taking strategies to help interpret statistical relationships.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Lucas explored applications of derivatives by graphing tangent lines and analyzing how changes in functions affect their graphs.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student, tackling velocity-time graph questions, struggled to collect all relevant details before planning responses—"he missed information hidden in the question," one tutor noted, leading to incomplete solutions.

In Year 10, messy layout in algebra problems meant errors weren't easily spotted or corrected, so extra time was spent retracing steps.

A Year 7 learner relied on memorizing how previous fraction questions looked instead of understanding the underlying process; when faced with a new format, confusion set in quickly.

In each case, clarity and confidence dropped as tasks grew less familiar or required flexible thinking.

Recent Achievements

One Sheldon tutor recently saw a Year 10 student who used to rush through probability questions now consistently list all variables and formulas before starting, which has helped him avoid the errors he made in past assignments.

In Year 11 maths, a student who previously struggled with logarithms was able to clearly explain when and why to apply them, showing real understanding rather than memorisation.

For a younger learner in Year 4, addition and multiplication had been confusing, but she can now solve problems confidently and even knows when to use LCM or GCD—she finished her worksheet without hesitation this week.
