Other than just teaching the book knowledge, tutor can educate the students( not just make them literate) which normally we don't get from books. Care and support, understanding( not too strict nor too lenient)which the students need in their academic life, making them realise that some one is always there anytime they need. 1) I know multiple…

I consider being able to relate and understand where the student is coming from is the most important thing. Knowing why the student struggles to understand a concept will enable the tutor to formulate a method that would help clear their misunderstandings. This is not limited to not being able to understand the subject, but also to understand the…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to believe in them. When a student is stuck on a question or when they are completely lost in a chapter, it is the tutor's job to make sure that the student realises that they have the potential to understand these problems, not that they're stupid. There are always different ways to…

Making them comfortable with the maths that they have to do, as opposed to just making sure they know how to do a problem. However, it would also be important to pass on methods of study and techniques that they would be able to apply to other subjects.

Inside TennysonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Tom focused on solving linear equations and exploring properties of linear graphs, using practice questions to consolidate understanding.

In Year 9, Sophie worked through trigonometry problems involving finding unknown sides and angles in triangles as well as applying bearings in real-world scenarios.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Liam reviewed differential calculus concepts with a focus on rules for differentiation and tackled binomial expansion and theorem questions to prepare for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student relied on mental calculation for algebra, skipping written steps—"he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors." This meant small mistakes were harder to spot and correct.

In Year 11, one student hesitated when choosing between Bernoulli and Binomial distributions; he only grew confident after working through several examples, highlighting the need to practice identifying question types under exam conditions.

Meanwhile, a Year 9 student was confused by worded problems in geometry, needing support to extract key information before attempting solutions.

When units weren't double-checked in physics calculations (Year 10), answers lost marks despite solid method.

Recent Achievements

A Tennyson tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student who, after struggling with calculus investigations, began asking targeted questions about each confusing step and could then clearly explain all the differentiation methods used.

In Year 9, another student who used to stay quiet when stuck on algebra now openly identifies which parts confuse him and talks through his problem-solving process aloud—something he avoided before.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student made real progress by remembering area formulas for different shapes using new memory cues and independently applying these during unit conversion activities without prompting.

Local Spots for Tutoring
