A tutor can always support or help his/ her students, could take student's weakness in a positive way. A tutor can analyse the student's capabilities in a detailed manner which is very helpful to figure out the areas that need more focus and attention. One of my attribute is that i am good at getting to know the student, once i am familiar with…

Inspire students to understand the importance and broader concepts within mathematics. Also translate the mathematics to a way a student can understand - perhaps look at it more graphically, or by using a real world example - and by breaking down a complex problem into simple, easy to understand parts. I think I have a very versatile…

Being able to teach a student enough material for them to be able to pass the class, that is what you are being paid to do. There are also many ineffible qualities that will set apart a good tutor from a great one. Such qualities include, understanding the student, being supportive of them and their emotions and ensuring the student is effectively…

Be patient, sometime students are having a hard time to understand some new confusing concepts in math or physics. It is important to explain the concept to students in a different way. During such a time, finding a new way to explain things in an easier way such students can learn is very important or students might give up on this point. In the…

Know your stuff. Always. As simple as it might sound, really bringing your students a reliable foundation of knowledge on the subject is always crucial. It doesn't mean that you ALWAYS have to know your stuff though, we are human, and human can sometimes afford not to know it all. This is when I would go on, do my research, and make sure the next…

Other than imparting the lessons in school, I think being able to empathize with the students is key in effective teaching. As a matter of strategy, what I will do is to meet them where they are academically, then prepare a plan and implement it to be able to meet our goal(s). I have the ability to relate with young kids well. Raising three…

Tutors are expected to bolster student grades however this is not their true purpose, A tutor should help to develop students to not only achieve greater marks but also to have a greater understanding of the field they are being tutored in.

I believe one of the most important things a tutor can do is create a safe, encouraging space where students feel confident to ask questions, make mistakes, and grow.

According to me, the most important thing as a tutor is to try and try until the student understands, although it takes a lot of patience and time. It is also important to explore the student's best way of learning, which may include audio, visual, or kinesthetic, and make efforts to teach them accordingly. As a tutor, I first make my students…

Local Reviews

James has been a great tutor from the very beginning. Very professional, and I can see my son actively engage in the lessons. I'm very confident that he'll feel far more confident going into his exams, and tackling Year 12 Maths Methods next year.

Inside St MarysTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Zara practised long division with remainders and revisited multiplication of larger numbers to build confidence.

For Year 8, Liam focused on expanding and factorising algebraic expressions, then created a formula sheet for area and volume as a study tool.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Aisha revised Pythagoras' theorem and explored examples of Pythagorean triples through targeted practice questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 algebra, skipping back-checking steps when solving complex equations led to repeated errors—"didn't check final answer against the question," as one tutor noted.

A Year 11 student working on trigonometry over-relied on their calculator for sine and cosine rules, which caused confusion when interpreting non-standard triangle diagrams.

In a Year 9 geometry session, messy formatting and unclear layout made it hard to spot where mistakes crept in while calculating angles with parallel lines.

For a Year 6 student tackling division with remainders, incomplete written working meant answers couldn't be traced or explained when asked during revision.

Recent Achievements

One St Marys tutor noticed a Year 8 student who used to hesitate with worded maths problems now confidently extracts key information and sketches diagrams on her own, making multi-step questions less daunting.

In Year 10, a student who struggled to remember index laws last term now applies them automatically without needing a reference sheet, even finishing all ten practice problems correctly in one session.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who found long multiplication overwhelming recently mastered a new technique and can now solve bigger numbers independently after just a few tries.

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 Park Holme Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Bernadette's School.
