The most important thing a tutor can do is to teach in a way suited to the student. The content being taught doesn't matter if the student isn't being perceptive to it, so a tutor must find a way to teach that accommodates for a student and how they prefer to learn. I think my greatest strengths are flexibility and knowledge of the subjects. As I…

Tutors have two roles, One is to actively support the student who might be struggling to cope up with their peers and/or looking to improve their performance. The second is to make the student learn in a different environment from their school. Schools have multiple children and every child has some issue they are facing. As a tutor sitting 1-1…

Putting down your ego, communicate and being there for them is definitely the top priority. They will obviously get discouraged at times when they don't get the answers.

It is important to teach frameworks and critical thinking rather than boring formulas or random facts. In other words, the goal of any tutor is to teach someone how to fish and never give them fish. I strive to find familiar examples in real life that connect with the concepts we are learning to ease this process. I am able to meet my students…

I believe providing an environment in which the student is confident and motivated about what they are learning will help them achieve goals.

I think the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is be patient and try to bring themselves to the students own level of understanding of a topic in order to explain in a way that makes sense to the student.

Sometimes children do not study subjects because the method in which they receive it is not interesting enough. My goal as a tutor is to make it interesting for the student and so that he develops a liking for the subject. This in due course can help a student identify his true potential.

At the crux of it all, the ultimate goal of tutoring is for the tutor to enable the student to have an easier time grappling with material that they would otherwise struggle with. Furthermore, each student will require a different approach in order for this goal to be achieved. As such, the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to…

Inside SpearwoodTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Chinnu focused on times tables practice and graphed results to track progress, then worked on simplifying fractions and explored their relationship to decimals and percentages.

For Year 10, Alex reviewed parabolas and quadratic equations by tackling pre-test problems and practiced breaking down larger questions into manageable steps.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Jamie revised graph theory concepts including Eulerian and Semi-Eulerian paths, alongside a review of recent test material to clarify any gaps in understanding.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9, a student tackling algebra often disengaged when unsure how to start a problem—"if he doesn't know it straight away, he tends to give up," as one tutor observed. This led to unfinished questions and missed opportunities for practice.

Meanwhile, in Year 4 maths, another student would skip over times tables she didn't instantly recall rather than using alternative strategies or working them out.

In senior years, incomplete homework and unclear written steps meant errors were hidden in trigonometry solutions.

For several students across Years 5–7, inconsistent use of revision notes made later study sessions less effective and more stressful.

Recent Achievements

One Spearwood tutor noticed a real shift in Dominique's approach: she now asks for help when stuck, instead of quietly skipping questions—last session, she finished every task and even tried out thinking aloud to work through trickier maths.

In a recent high school lesson, Harrison moved from confusion about quadratics to correctly picking out key features of parabolas after targeted practice between weeks.

Meanwhile, Chinnu blended his love of art with maths by graphing times tables speed; this extra effort meant he handed in his results homework fully completed and ready to use as a progress baseline.
