As a tutor, you can\'t approach each student as if they are the same person learning the same subject. Each individual has different weaknesses and strengths. For a tutor to recognise this fact is detrimental to ensuring the tutor can target each student\'s weaknesses effectively instead of wasting time. Having been a student myself, I know time…

The most important quality a tutor can have is being an attentive listener. I believe that when students feel genuinely heard and understood, they are more comfortable sharing their concerns and learning challenges. This openness allows the tutor to tailor their approach to meet each student’s unique needs, ensuring the most effective and…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is offer an environment where they can comfortably learn and raise any concerns or questions they might have. This comes from building a good relationship with the student, which often not many tutors do, making the student's learning ineffective. Offering an organised and well thought…

Build their self confidence and the ability to be self sufficient. Mindset and attitude plays the most vital role to success in life.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student, in my opinion, is to believe in them. When a child's role model believes in them they begin to believe in themselves and, I believe, that is the first step to accomplishing great things. If a child believes that they have the ability to do something they are more inclined to put more effort…

Like I briefly mentioned earlier, I think it is important to look at being a mentor rather than a teacher. It is a far more personal and direct experience working with one or maybe a few students at a time rather than an entire classroom, so it is vital to establish actual relationships with your students and ensure that they can apply the work…

Inside Croydon HillsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Zoe focused on using pi to calculate the area, radius, and perimeter of circles, and applied these concepts through worked examples.

For Year 9, Marcus completed exam revision covering quadrilaterals, negative fractions, percentage change, decimal termination, the unitary method, and calculating volumes.

In Year 10, Emily practised solving linear equations and graphing them on coordinate axes to strengthen her understanding of relationships between algebraic expressions and their visual representations.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Maths, one student showed difficulty planning exam responses, often not reading questions fully or prioritizing those with the most marks—"would jump to solving before double-checking what was asked," as noted. This led to missed details in multi-step problems.

In Year 9, a tendency to only practice familiar types of linear equations meant newer concepts like graph transformations weren't consolidated, making it harder to apply them under test conditions.

A Year 7 student sometimes avoided showing full working for unit conversions, which made catching small arithmetic errors trickier during revision sessions.

Recent Achievements

One Croydon Hills tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to skip over mistakes now taking time to review errors and correct them independently, especially on quadratic equations.

A senior student in Year 12, who previously hesitated with calculus, has started using derivative graphs to check her answers—showing much more initiative during sessions.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who struggled with the concept of pi last term can now explain where it comes from and why it's useful in measuring circles, even sharing an example without prompting.

Last session finished with him choosing his own word problem about area to solve.

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 Croydon Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Croydon Hills Primary School.
