Give them confidence- either to have a crack at new questions or topics, or just continue to work and learn independently. Usually this is achieved by helping students find a way to enjoy the subject. I'm a good communicator and very empathetic. I've always been told I'd be an excellent teacher- my habit is to always make sure a tutee has…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help the student learn in a way that works for them.

Inside BrightonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Izzy worked on rounding numbers to the nearest 10 and 100 using number lines, along with practicing timetables and basic multiplication/division problems.

For Year 9, Georgia focused on ratios and percentages, as well as representing data through histograms and frequency tables.

In Year 11, Will covered quadratic expressions by expanding and factorising polynomials, then tackled inequalities involving both algebraic manipulation and graphing simple solution sets.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student preparing for rates and ratios needed to consult notes frequently before recalling processes, slowing her down in tests; she had to check notes before applying a formula, observed one tutor.

In Year 10, an assignment was delayed due to missed deadlines—this meant fewer chances to clarify doubts before submission.

Meanwhile, a senior student in calculus often hesitated to ask questions about steps they'd misapplied, resulting in repeated errors on integration problems.

For one Year 5 learner, untidy working made it hard for the tutor to trace mistakes in multi-step subtraction tasks, leaving misconceptions unresolved until reviewed together.

Recent Achievements

A Brighton tutor recently saw a Year 11 student complete an entire maths exam within the time limit—previously, he'd run out of time or skipped questions under pressure.

Another high school student, who used to need every step explained for algebra, now regularly tries word problems independently and only checks in when she's truly stuck.

Meanwhile, one of our younger learners made a noticeable leap: after weeks of guessing times tables answers, he now confidently recites his sixes from memory and even started answering related division questions without hesitation.

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