Relate. The student will understand the concept once it resonates with something the student is interested in. A tutor needs to describe the concept, demonstrate the concept and invite the student to attempt the concept. This open dialogue, dispelling fear of failure and welcoming the opportunity to learn is an important attribute an english…

A tutor must be patient and listen to how the student feels and explains their material. Without this we can't understand where the gaps are in the students knowledge OR whether they really do understand, but just in a different way. I have infinite patience, I can adjust my communication style, and I when faced with something unfamiliar I have…

I think a common misconception about an english tutor's job is that their whole purpose is to get their tutee an A+. While this is obviously a wonderful side-effect of tutoring, the most important thing a tutor can do is to develop and improve a student's ability to problem-solve, learn, and work effectively to complete their academic goals. The…

Having a strong internal drive to learn and micro-teaching skills I think is the key role in tutoring. In my opinion, tutoring is not only teaching but also a part of learning experience that enables us to recall and applying the knowledge we have because it is a proof that we have understood what we have already learned. Micro-skill is the second…

Believing in your student has to be one of the most important things an english tutor can do as you help the student know that nothing is impossible and they can do it all. I also think patience is also important as everyone learns differently and at various paces. I believe I am easy to communicate with. In terms of communicating with parents, my…

As a tutor, what I believe to be important for a student is the ability to not only push but to better the student in their schooling career. My years of high school were spent with teachers who picked favourites and let me fade into the background. As a tutor, I would enjoy seeing the potential in someone and letting them see that for themselves.…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is inspire and motivate.

Inside AshgroveTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 Maddie worked on measuring and drawing angles, including applying the Z and F rules for similar angles, and practiced finding missing angles in diagrams.

In Year 10, Daniel focused on quadratic equations by exploring factorising over the real numbers and using the discriminant to determine solution types.

For Year 12, Sarah tackled integration problems with emphasis on integrating exponential functions and applying the chain rule, while also revising differentiation techniques involving logarithmic scales.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student struggled to keep written work neat and clearly labeled during algebra tasks, making it harder to spot calculation errors—Bookwork also needs attention. Labelling questions, and setting out could be neater.

In Year 7, incomplete homework was noted; assigned worksheets on fractions and times tables weren't attempted between lessons, so concepts needed reteaching each week.

For a senior student in Maths Methods, over-reliance on calculator entry led to repeated decimal errors: Frequently missing a zero in small decimals.

A Year 12 Chemistry student delayed error analysis write-up, stalling progress on data interpretation until this step was completed.

Recent Achievements

One Ashgrove tutor noticed that a Year 11 student, who used to hesitate with logarithms and complex problem-solving, was able to complete all the challenging questions correctly and efficiently by the end of their session—something they'd previously found overwhelming.

Another high school student, after missing an entire topic on Earth geometry and time zones, managed to catch up within a single lesson and confidently solved related problems without extra prompts.

Meanwhile, a younger student has started showing more independence by remembering steps for converting fractions and decimals without being reminded, finishing all assigned problems accurately before the session ended.

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 Ashgrove Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Finbarr's School.
