Reminding them they are not their enemy, and that they are on the same side. A lot of students might be forced into tuition. As a tutor, I have to create a meaningful relationship with my student, where I provide a safe space for them to learn, as they are. Patience, understanding and adaptability. No one person is the same, no one student of mine…

Help them understand the concepts they have trouble with. Answering questions correctly is important but it is only the result of understanding the concepts of what is being tested. Therefore the goal should be to make students aware of and master the underlying skills and concepts in their particular subject. I am happy to take my time to explain…

I feel that getting to know and appreciating each individual student for who they are as a person in so important. It makes the student feel appreciated and allows a relaxed, productive, friendly and positive workspace to form. This can be done by having conversations about their days, having a laugh with them and fully engaging with what each…

Over the course of a tutor's time with a student, the most important skill they can provide is the ability to think both critically and universally, fueled by a hunger for knowledge. That is to say, both a stronger and more capable work ethic. Analysing how a student mentally approaches problems, communicating to them precisely what their…

I think the most important thing is to be simple - not confuse the child with an overwhelming amount of information but rather take things slowly and ask directed questions to take them to each step of the answer.

Give them the resources to be their best student. Rather than just giving them the answer outright, set up a pathway for them to solve their problem themselves.

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to build confidence gradually and encourage active thinking.

Sleesha is always well prepared and punctual, she has helped my year 9 student a lot with getting a better understanding of the subject matter. We're very happy with her.
Kerstin Kugler

Inside HerdsmanTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Ava worked on multiplying and dividing fractions, along with strategies for solving worded problems involving measurement.

In Year 8, Ethan focused on simplifying algebraic expressions and expanded brackets using step-by-step written methods.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Lily explored trigonometry basics and practiced applying sine and cosine rules to solve right-angled triangle questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student's algebra progress was slowed by inconsistent homework completion—"failed to complete all homework questions," one note recorded.

In Year 10, careless handling of negative signs in calculations led to repeated errors; as observed, "details, careless mistakes" meant that time was spent fixing issues rather than moving forward with new concepts.

For a Year 7 student working on linear graphs, unclear written work and skipping question details made extracting the required information difficult, which disrupted understanding.

Meanwhile, in upper primary maths, forgotten multiplication tables left one student hunting for answers instead of building fluency.

Recent Achievements

One Herdsman tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to skip steps now carefully reads each question before starting calculations, leading to fewer careless mistakes in statistics problems.

In Year 8, another student has started bringing completed homework every session and recently tackled balancing equations without prompting—she'd previously needed reminders just to start.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who struggled with her 8 and 9 times tables last term can now recall them quickly and managed all the related questions without any hesitation during the lesson.

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 Cambridge Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Chrysalis Montessori School.
