I believe that remaining patient, being very attentive, trying your best to understand the student, and modifying teaching approaches is the key to being an effective tutor. I believe that there is a lot of value in teaching students the art of metacognitive learning strategies such as using the syllabus as a roadmap for guiding and piecing…

Important things a tutor can do for a student can be as subtle as providing the basic habits of Learning and self progression for the student. Many younger students struggle with this and tutoring can only go so far for them. Enforcing self-learning and the confidence to learn sometimes can be more beneficial than the topics covered. Personal…

Providing personalized teaching and assistance to a student is one of the most important services a tutor can offer. Through clear communication, and developing a encouraging learning environment, a tutor can engage the student in a way that is not available to them in a classroom. I am patient and encouraging with those who are learning. I…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is provide every opportunity for them to kindle their own knowledge. As Socrates said, "Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel." In other words, it is the tutor's job to introduce new knowledge as the base tools and then question the student to allow them to…

A tutor can be really influential for each student they instruct. Not only do they have a significant impact on the learning outcomes for the student, but also on their passions and interests. In my experience, having a knowledgeable and enthusiastic teacher can foster a deep affection for a learning area or subject. For example, the care and…

One of the most important thing a tutor can do is be able to listen tot he child and not get frustrated at them if they are unable to grasp the concept. It is about taking the time to work through the question slowly and doing it step by step so the child can ask questions in each of the steps, therefore they are more likely to be able to tackle…

The most important way in which I can aid my students is by providing them with the capability to master new content on their own. Alongside this, I can provide advice from the position of having completed with which they are grappling, allowing me to better aid them with my 'inside knowledge' of the curriculum. I believe my main strengths as a…

My understanding of a tutors role is not to do the students work, yet to uncover their natural ability so that they may proceed to increase their academic results. Therefore, the most important thing a tutor can do is not only provide advice but draw out the best of people. I have been told I am a 'people person', I previously worked in a busy…

A tutor must understand the learner is still human, my collaboration skills allow me to see past age or education level. Tutors must see that they have specific ways they can learn best, therefore assessing the child as a human with capabilities comes first. This allows the learner to take in the information in the best way possible. Giving…

Allow the student to progress without barriers. The tutor should be able to pinpoint aspects of the student's work that require more focus. Keep the information tailored to this focus.

I think the most important thing a tutor can be is patient and supportive. As tutors, we have already completed these subjects, and so we know the 'pressure points' and ways to deal with them. It is our job to pass on this knowledge and help others. If someone is receiving tutoring, most often they are struggling with one or more parts of a topic…

Alex is a natural teacher. He has a particular knack of being able to explain things in many different ways until the student gets it! He does this in a kind and caring way, building the students confidence.

Inside Basket RangeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Jack focused on fraction addition and subtraction with common denominators, then moved on to simplifying mixed number fractions using short written responses.

In Year 9, Alyssia worked through titration equations in chemistry—calculating molar ratios and manipulating the formula n = m/M and C × V—before revising galvanic cells and redox reactions for her upcoming exam.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ethan tackled factorisation of polynomials alongside graphing linear equations, using practice problems to reinforce both skills.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 Maths, he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors—this made it harder to spot where he went wrong and slowed progress on trickier questions.

A Year 9 student's messy handwriting and unclear layout, especially with fractions, led to confusion when checking answers later.

For a Year 11 Chemistry assignment, over-reliance on looking back at old solutions meant less independent problem-solving; the habit surfaced again during test prep for equations and conversions.

One Year 6 student lost focus during reasoning tasks, missing question cues entirely.

Missed opportunities for clear written reasoning meant strong understanding didn't always show up in assessment marks.

Recent Achievements

One Basket Range tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student who, after repeatedly losing marks to "silly mistakes" in algebra and test settings, began slowing down and double-checking his work, catching errors before submitting practice questions.

A Year 9 student who used to wait passively for hints is now independently asking clarifying questions whenever she's stuck—especially with statistics topics—and even requests extra examples for practice.

Meanwhile, during a primary session, a younger learner started using commas correctly in writing exercises without reminders, having previously needed constant prompting.

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 Stirling Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Basket Range Primary School.
