I consider that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is adapting the teaching approach to tailor the student's individual needs, learning style, and pace. My greatest strengths as a tutor are being able to teach and help with different approaches depending on what suits best to each different individual person, and being able to…

On top of efficiently solving problems, a tutor should be able to explain to the students why it is that they are doing what they are doing. A tutor should explain why are they studying a particular topic in mathematics and what is its application. Finally, a tutor should be able to make the student enjoy what they are doing and make students look…

Easily explain the topic and at the same time understand if this is complicated for them. Let them understand that the topic is important.

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.…

Inside StaffordTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Mia worked on solving worded linear equations and practiced volume problems using diagrams to visualise each step.

Year 11 student Oliver tackled biology research skills by developing a rationale for his assignment and searching for relevant scientific articles, then refined his research question with guidance.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Grace focused on her biology student experiment report, drafting the evaluation section and working through feedback to improve her data analysis write-up.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student tackling algebra tended to skip writing out steps, especially when solving quadratics—"did not write down as much working out"—which made small errors hard to catch and fix.

In a senior History lesson, difficulty summarizing research articles slowed progress; as noted, "finding relevant research articles in regards to the task" was a challenge during assignment preparation.

For a Year 8 Maths session, one learner rushed graph plotting and missed simple sign mistakes.

When Year 11 revision focused only on familiar topics, key concepts from previous terms were overlooked, leaving knowledge gaps ahead of exams.

Recent Achievements

A Stafford tutor noticed one Year 10 student, who previously hesitated to ask for help with worded maths questions, now reads questions aloud and talks through solutions, making far fewer errors.

In a recent high school science session, a student who struggled with planning practical experiments came in with a clear experiment outline and asked clarifying questions independently.

For a younger primary student, there's been real progress: after weeks of confusion around plotting points on graphs, she can now accurately plot data without prompts and quickly checks her own work for mistakes.

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 Grange Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Queen of Apostles Primary School.
