Rakim has made significant progress in some of his maths subjects as a result of the sessions with Mohammad. Mohammad has been kind, considerate and patient with Rakim which has been fantastic, just what Rakim needed.

Inside South GuildfordTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Ethan focused on identifying author's purpose in a range of texts—discussing how language features and visual elements can persuade, inform, or entertain—and explored spelling patterns using the Sound Waves program.

In Year 9, Sophie worked through index laws by tackling both basic and more complex questions involving pronumerals, and then applied these concepts to problem-solving tasks that combined different rules.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Josh revised trigonometric ratios by solving for unknown side lengths and angles in triangles, practiced applying tangent to word problems, and briefly reviewed geometric congruency and similarity.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student struggled with organisation, not informing the tutor about an upcoming test or recording class topics—"should write this down otherwise I would not know what to focus on."

In Year 9 maths, a student often forgot to simplify answers or skipped steps when working with fractions, leading to lost marks despite understanding concepts.

For Year 7 English, there was hesitation in editing work independently; even after spotting errors aloud, self-correction was avoided.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student's messy working made it difficult to track their process in measurement tasks, causing confusion and extra time spent clarifying steps.

Recent Achievements

One South Guildford tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to avoid writing out her working now reliably records every step while solving algebraic equations, making far fewer errors and showing real independence.

In Year 9 English, another student who previously struggled to analyse persuasive techniques has started identifying subtle devices in texts and confidently explains their impact on audiences.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who once rushed through spelling tasks is now pausing to sound out tricky words slowly before writing—this shift means she's self-correcting more often and getting nearly all her sight words right without prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Tanay enjoys learning with Curtis which is a great thing so I am sure he will listen to what Curtis has to tell him.

Everything seems to be going well so far. Karl seems super smart and very friendly and Gabriel gets along with him well.

Jacques seems quite happy with the 3 weeks tutoring he has had and when asked says he is enjoying the lessons. So a good start.

Chemistry tutoring in South Guildford

Chemistry is just one of those subjects, it either clicks or it doesn't. Many students find maths and physics easy, but when it comes to chemistry they just feel lost.

And it's understandable. It can be challenging to connect the concepts to real-life, see how it all relates to their day-to-day. When they're struggling, students tend to give up easily and at some point, they stop trying altogether.

Chemistry Tutor South Guildford

If your child doesn't catch on right away, or maybe they consider chemistry a complete waste of time, it can be hard to convince them otherwise. What we've found is that students react better when it comes from someone who they can relate to.

They react to mentors, someone closer to their age, who shares the same experience. That's why tutors are in a unique position to help a student grow.

That's why great tutoring can make such a big difference.

Want to find out how? We can allocate a local South Guildford chemistry tutor within a day or two. They reach out to you and set up a first lesson whenever you and your child can make it.

If you like the tutor's approach you keep working with them. If you are not 100% satisfied - we consider it a trial lesson and find a better match. It's that simple!
