I think the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to help them feel comfortable in approaching questions that appear difficult or confusing to them. I believe that this allows a student to realise that they have more potential than what they might have believed otherwise and it might be arguably the best way for them to improve…

I think the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is be patient and try to bring themselves to the students own level of understanding of a topic in order to explain in a way that makes sense to the student. I think it's important that the student feels understood and is able to communicate what they don't understand, so that the…

The most important thing I could do for my students would be giving them confidence in themselves and their abilities to attempt any question rather than being intimidated and not even trying. To achieve this, I believe a positive, patient, and supportive relationship needs to be formed so the student is not afraid of failing. I believe failing to…

In my experience, the most important part of tutoring is instilling confidence in the student that they are able to eventually understand/master the material. No one is perfect, being able to understand different individuals needs and concerns with their class(es) is extremely important. If a student doesn't believe they can do something, they'll…

active communication will enable the tutor to understand the student's issues, strengths, weaknesses, and effectively plan the lessons for student's need. In addition to that, a clear and simplified explanation of subjects will not only enable understanding of the topic, but also could develop an interest of the subject in the student. Once the…

A tutor can build a child's confidence, boost them to achieve higher. Help them to ask questions because they will learn from that. Furthermore if it is hard for a student to understand something, a tutor should try a different approach so that the student understands better. The tutor should come up with new learning strategies. As a tutor the…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is provide a structured learning environment.

A tutor should help students make sense of this by summarizing key concepts and looking ahead,…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student are to listen to them to gauge their level of knowledge and interest in a subject, then to offer motivation and positive reinforcement.

A tutor should provide what a teacher can't. There is a reason that students seek tutoring, and it is therefore a tutor's role to meet their needs. I believe patience is the most important thing. Not everyone thinks the same, and its important for a tutor to understand this, and to move at a pace that suits the student, whilst also challenging…

Local Reviews

Our daughter Meg has been struggling with multiplication and generally not interested in math at all. Since Angela has been tutoring Meg (for a few weeks now) we have seen a huge improvement in her math. Angela has a very gentle, friendly and patient approach in the way she teaches and puts a lot of thought and effort into her work i.e. she brings along many props. a white board, worksheets and visuals to make it easier for Meg to learn different strategies. Meg thinks she's great and really enjoys her lessons. Meg is also doing much better at school to. Angela is amazing at what she does and we couldn't be happier! We definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a tutor.

Inside PalmyraTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 Abbi focused on factorising and simplifying algebraic expressions, then moved on to solving quadratic equations using methods like completing the square and the quadratic formula.

Year 9 Isabel worked through trigonometry problems and revised for exams by tackling practice questions involving parabolas, simultaneous equations, and rationalising surds.

Meanwhile, Year 4 Jimmy practiced rounding numbers using number lines for visualization, completed long division challenges, and reinforced essay writing skills by drafting structured body paragraphs together.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Methods, Isabel often skipped working steps and rushed through long equations, leading to small errors: "She tends to solve things the 'hard' way without stopping and thinking about the best method." This cost marks in algebra and turning point problems.

For Year 10 Maths, Abbi struggled with worded quadratic questions—she found it difficult to extract key information and convert it into equations, especially after longer breaks from practice.

In Year 5 English, Jimmy's highlighting was unfocused; when asked to find important words in a passage, he highlighted almost everything, making reading slow and overwhelming.

Recent Achievements

One Palmyra tutor noticed Isabel's steady shift towards independence in Year 10 maths: after struggling with worded problems, she recently scored 81% on her exam—up from 60%—and now tackles most application questions solo.

In a recent session, Abbi (Year 11) moved from needing help to solving standard quadratic equations entirely on her own, even showing initiative by attempting harder simultaneous equation tasks without prompting.

Meanwhile, Jimmy (Year 4) made a leap in essay writing; he previously needed step-by-step guidance but managed to complete a full body paragraph himself for the first time.

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 AH Bracks Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Richmond Primary School.
