I believe giving the student confidence is so important as no matter how well you teach them if they believe they can't do it they won't succeed. I always try to start my students off with more basic questions to give them that bit of confidence before working with them to solve the more complex questions. I'm known for being a happy and…

The best thing which a maths tutor can do is to help students solve the difficulties which they are facing in their studies in such a way that rather than directly giving solutions to them, tutor can help in understanding the problem and concepts behind it. I am very patient and I focus on core subjects so students can solve any kind of problem…

The most important thing a maths tutor can do is make sure the student clearly understands the theory and understands the applications. This is because, students will be tested on their knowledge with complex unfamiliar questions where a more nuanced approach would be required.

The best thing a maths tutor can do for a student is it reduce the fear of studying/learning a subject.

My biggest strength is that I get along with students and try and…

I think the most important thing is to listen to the student and allow them to feel confident in asking for help. It's important to make sure that the student doesn't feel dumb or like they're being looked down upon when asking a question. It's also important to be honest, if you don't know the answer it's better to tell the student this and…

One of the most important things a maths tutor can do for a student would be helping the student gain confidence in the area in which they are struggling. A tutor can do this through adjusting teaching methods for the most benefit of the student, helping them but not doing it for them and also providing encouragement and support. I have a lot of…

Ideally, I want to instill the same sense of wonder and love that I have for mathematics in the students. This won't work for all students, of course, so failing that I think a maths tutor should be able to teach a student how to think for themselves - it's one thing to be shown how to get an answer, and it's another thing entirely to be taught…

Helping them complete their work is part of the job. However, the most important thing is making sure students are relaxed. If they are getting overwhelmed they shouldn't be pushed because then it'll make them feel like they can't do it. So tackling their weaknesses at a realistic pace will help them not feel pressured to understand straight away.…

A tutor or at least a teacher is someone who can give students a helping hand, perhaps a friend is too informal but someone they can relate to. I think being able to understand your student and what makes them improve or how they can improve is also essential as a maths tutor and a teacher. It is useless to spoon feed facts and knowledge to a…

I believe a maths tutor shouldn't just focus on helping out their students during sessions. Tutors should be focused on making plans before their sessions, learning from their students' strengths and weaknesses. They should be passionate about their students' grades as much as their own. My strengths as a tutor include: - Taking notes of…

Inside ShorncliffeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 Bella worked on mental maths and algebraic thinking, focusing on developing confidence with number patterns.

Year 11 Katie explored the differences between mechanical and non-mechanical waves and investigated real-world applications of wave amplitude using practical examples.

Meanwhile, Year 12 Daniel tackled advanced physics concepts, including Faraday's and Lenz's laws as well as conservation of energy in electromagnetic induction, with time spent practicing relevant formulae for assessment tasks.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 Physics, one student relied heavily on the formula sheet but struggled to identify which equation matched the question, slowing their problem-solving. As noted: "Needs to check fundamentals of physics understanding eg. gravity."

In a Year 12 assessment, submitting only a partial draft limited feedback opportunities and left analysis unfinished.

A Year 8 Maths learner avoided writing out full working, which led to repeated decimal placement errors in multiplication—when prompted to show steps, they could pinpoint mistakes themselves.

Meanwhile, another student's concentration drifted after an exam day, leaving questions half-completed and feedback unaddressed for later sessions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Shorncliffe noticed that one high school student, who used to hesitate and guess when stuck, now actively asks clarifying questions and uses logical reasoning to work out solutions—something she hadn't done before.

Another secondary student made a clear shift by preparing specific questions before sessions and using her formula sheet independently during revision, showing new initiative with exam strategies.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who previously mixed up equivalent fractions confidently explained why 50/100 equals 1/2 during their session, then completed all ten fraction problems without errors.

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 Sandgate Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Patrick's College.
