I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is be a source of motivation and encouragement, to help boost the student's confidence. Oftentimes the issue with students who seek tutoring is their inability to recognise their potential rather than their lack of knowledge, and tutors can assist them in accessing this potential. -Patience -…

The tutor must understand the student. Some students try really hard to learn but may fail to show successful results. The tutor must understand this, assure the student that he/she is making progress, and guide the student every inch of the way. Second, the tutor must consider the pursuits of the students as his/her own personal endeavor as…

It is so important for tutors to adapt their method of teaching to the way the student learns. Every student not only has different needs and difficulties, but learns concepts differently. It is extremely important to regularly re-evaluate the student's objectives. Modifying your approach as a tutor to make the student feel comfortable and…

A tutor can make the student love to learn new things.

I am very patient as I can repeat the lesson several times until the student understands. I have…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is aid them in being confident enough to always attempt a problem. A great tutor helps a student to put aside the "oh no, I don't know what to do" thought or feeling and and least try to break the problem into something they do know how to do. My strengths as a tutor come in my genuine passion…

To me, the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to foster a transformative journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Beyond just imparting knowledge, I believe that a tutor's role is to serve as a guide, mentor, and cheerleader rolled into one. Firstly, it's crucial to create a safe and supportive environment where students…

Put yourself in the situation. Think about what you would do as someone who is supposedly better at tackling difficult problems if you stumbled upon the same question. Then convey your thinking to the student. I am patient and I am good at predicting what student may find difficult in a certain exam/test. I am also adaptive to individual dilemmas…

The most important thing a tutor could do for a student is show them that every student responds to education in the same way or at the same pace and whichever way they process information is perfectly normal.

The most important thing a teacher can teach a student is something about how they learn best, like what techniques, environements, etc. they need to learn effectively. This is not only a skill that will help them any time they need to learn something in the future, but also something that will help them enjoy the process. I think I have excellent…

I think apart from seeing results, it is the tutor's responsibility to foster a student's love of learning and love for a subject since learning is one of the most rewarding experiences in life. I believe it is also pivotal that a tutor guides understanding rather than forces it. That is, it is the role of the tutor to not only teach a student…

As mentioned in some of the earlier answers, I think that a tutor is not only there to impart their own knowledge, but also be there for the development of any responsibility or independence characteristics as students grow. This can include but is not limited to: confidence, tenacity, perseverance and the ability to bounce back against adversity…

I think the most important things a tutor can do for a student, besides clarifying concepts, is to build their confidence and encourage critical thinking.

Inside WollstonecraftTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Charlie worked through logic and probability homework problems, focusing on strategies for tackling worded questions.

In Year 9, Olivia practiced simplifying surds and applying surface area formulas, using step-by-step worked examples.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Emily explored fractions and ratios in word problems, paying particular attention to finding lowest common denominators when solving multi-step questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Maths, one student left several exam corrections incomplete and relied heavily on calculators during logarithms revision—this made it hard to spot patterns in errors. "He skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors," a tutor observed after working through complex equations.

Meanwhile, a Year 9 student repeatedly forgot to bring their notes to trigonometry lessons and hesitated to attempt harder questions without immediate help.

In Year 4 English, another avoided finishing creative writing drafts when unsure about structure, leading to missed feedback opportunities and growing reluctance to start longer tasks the following week.

Recent Achievements

One Wollstonecraft tutor observed a Year 11 student who had struggled with simultaneous equations begin to solve quadratic and financial maths problems with much more independence, applying operations methodically without prompting.

In a recent Year 8 session, a student who used to rush through algebra questions started taking time to break down word problems aloud and double-check each step, leading to noticeably fewer errors.

Meanwhile, in Year 4 English, one learner who previously hesitated to read out loud was able to tackle longer passages clearly and even volunteered for extra turns during the lesson.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We are thrilled with Ross he is so knowledgeable and has a great rapport with James already. Very happy customers.

I am pleased to say that Tayla is gaining confidence already. Courtney is amazing with Tayla. Tayla just sat a test that Courtney had helped prepare for and got her highest mark in months.

I have spoken with Cate who is finding Nikhil's explanation of maths concepts very helpful.

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 Greenwich Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like International Chinese School.
