Provide guidance and encouragement. Also allowing the student to have a go on their own will assist them in thinking for themselves whilst stepping in when needed. Making sure concepts are well understood by the student is of high importance and the tutor should facilitate this understanding. The student should start to feel more confident in…

Be patient, sometime students are having a hard time to understand some new confusing concepts in math or physics. It is important to explain the concept to students in a different way. During such a time, finding a new way to explain things in an easier way such students can learn is very important or students might give up on this point. In the…

- A tutor can change their way of thinking towards some subjects. For instance, during their school class, they might think the subject is boring. But if tutor, teach them in a way to make it more fun and interesting then they like and start to grasp the knowledge quickly. - So the tutor can change their perception and eventually guide them to…

The most important thing that a tutor can do is ensure that a student learns and doesn't hate a subject. I understand that grades are equally important my ensuring that the knowledge has reached the student is even more so important. Therefore, as a tutor I will ensure that the lessons are fun and exciting leaving the students more eager to…

I guess that would be guiding them to make use of knowledge in real life situations by making connections between concepts and practice. By doing so, they learn something that is useful and could probably help them later in their lives.

Build interest. For younger student, most of them are still trying to find their interest in a certain field. The best thing I can do is to build interest with my humorous skill.

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 goal of tutoring should be to empower students and thus the primary focus of tuition should be to develop confidence and independence rather than reliance.

As a tutor, the most important thing is to "preach". Tutors who don't know how to "preach" often only focus on academic matters, which can easily lead to intensified conflicts between teachers and students. The premise of "preaching" is to establish a harmonious teacher-student relationship. I think there are three key points, that is, to be more…

I believe support and encouragement are the most important elements that me as a tutor can help my students.

Know your stuff. Always. As simple as it might sound, really bringing your students a reliable foundation of knowledge on the subject is always crucial. It doesn't mean that you ALWAYS have to know your stuff though, we are human, and human can sometimes afford not to know it all. This is when I would go on, do my research, and make sure the next…

I think tutors should be understanding to help them in the best way that they can, like being there for your students, not as a crutch but as someone who can amplify their learning. Teaching students concepts and filling gaps in their knowledge and learning techniques helps them create a strong foundation, which will help them build their…

Local Reviews

James has been a great tutor from the very beginning. Very professional, and I can see my son actively engage in the lessons. I'm very confident that he'll feel far more confident going into his exams, and tackling Year 12 Maths Methods next year.

Inside St MarysTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Zara practised long division with remainders and revisited multiplication of larger numbers to build confidence.

For Year 8, Liam focused on expanding and factorising algebraic expressions, then created a formula sheet for area and volume as a study tool.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Aisha revised Pythagoras' theorem and explored examples of Pythagorean triples through targeted practice questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 algebra, skipping back-checking steps when solving complex equations led to repeated errors—"didn't check final answer against the question," as one tutor noted.

A Year 11 student working on trigonometry over-relied on their calculator for sine and cosine rules, which caused confusion when interpreting non-standard triangle diagrams.

In a Year 9 geometry session, messy formatting and unclear layout made it hard to spot where mistakes crept in while calculating angles with parallel lines.

For a Year 6 student tackling division with remainders, incomplete written working meant answers couldn't be traced or explained when asked during revision.

Recent Achievements

One St Marys tutor noticed a Year 8 student who used to hesitate with worded maths problems now confidently extracts key information and sketches diagrams on her own, making multi-step questions less daunting.

In Year 10, a student who struggled to remember index laws last term now applies them automatically without needing a reference sheet, even finishing all ten practice problems correctly in one session.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who found long multiplication overwhelming recently mastered a new technique and can now solve bigger numbers independently after just a few tries.

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 Park Holme Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Bernadette's School.
