The most important thing overall is that they improve their confidence in their ability through improving their skills in both the topics covered in the curriculum and improving their skill of learning as a whole. My strength is being able to change the method of communicating a topic/ method of teaching based on what each specific child responds…

I believe encouragement is the most important thing a tutor can do. By focusing on what they have achieved rather then what they haven't, the children can gain a sense of self worth and achievement, making them more likely to want to learn more. By always being there to support them through difficult content, a tutor can develop trust with the…

Tutoring can help students feel like they are able, and grow their confidence in their ability. I feel like I'm quite patient and good with 'getting on their level', in terms of understanding what part of the concept the student doesn't grasp and how to help them maybe think in a different…

I believe that creating a true relationship and connection with the student is an incredibly important part of being a successful tutor. If the student genuinely enjoys their tutoring session they are more likely to want to continue to learn and therefore engage with the content. By building a portfolio with the student, they are more likely to…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is give the student a complete and well-rounded understanding of the topic or question. With an incomplete understanding of the foundation of a question, gaps in knowledge can prohibit students from being able to navigate a straight forward process to find a solution.

When beginning tutoring, I would ask the student where the area of concern lies. Time and time again I was told that it was down to confidence. My aim is for the student to be comfortable when approaching the subject/topic. A student should leave each sessions having learned at least one thing, or feeling more confident. I believe that I have the…

I think it is important to teach that everyone can improve their understanding of subjects by being patient, asking questions even if they consider them 'dumb', being prepared to look at things differently to their peers, their textbooks and their teacher. After all, we can all visualise problems and their solutions differently. It is also…

At the fundamental level a tutor's role is to make sure that a student understands the material. Therefore, the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to go over mistakes made in previous tests/assessments and ensure the student has a good understanding of the previously covered topics and principles before moving on. Additionally,…

The most important part of tutoring in my opinion is being able to adapt to different students requirements, and noticing what each student needs most from you. Some students need someone to slowly work through problems and teach them the process, while others need someone to help enforce good habits and routines rather than purely just teaching,…

Inside PadburyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Daniel practised solving quadratic equations and expanding brackets using the FOIL method, as well as collecting like terms for simplification.

In Year 10, Chloe worked through factorising quadratic expressions and examined relationships between parallel and perpendicular lines in linear equations, including drawing connections to their slopes.

For a Year 6 session, Leo received guidance on his HASS report about the importance of coastal environments, focusing on structuring ideas clearly within his assignment.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8, a student left homework (indices and tree diagrams) at school and struggled with calculator instructions for algebraic solutions; this meant valuable lesson time was spent troubleshooting rather than practicing.

For a Year 10 student, "work in notebook not showing steps so of no use when reviewing," leading to confusion during revision for factorisation.

A senior student's sparse class notes and missed homework sheets made it difficult to prepare for upcoming tests.

In English (Year 7), another student's arguments lacked cohesion due to rushing written responses without outlining ideas first—impacting essay clarity under timed conditions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Padbury noticed Danielle, a Year 10 student, has begun finishing her maths practice tests much faster than before and now gets a higher percentage of questions correct—just last session, she completed the test on time with only minor errors.

Meanwhile, Holly (Year 8) had previously struggled with supplementary angles but was visibly more decisive this week, working through those problems after just a little prompting.

In Year 3, Sam surprised his tutor by tackling new maths content independently rather than waiting for help and even volunteered to try extra challenge questions at the end of their session.

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 Whitford Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like South Padbury Primary School.
