A tutor should be able to provide a different perspective for the students they are teaching.

Help the student feel less anxious and more comfortable with their subject and breed confidence in the student to the point where they begin to trust their own problem-solving abilities. Similarly, tutors should help the student get into good study habits and a routine that works for the specific student. Tutors should also provide a safe space…

For me the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to understand how they feel about the subject or a topic.

What I can consider as my strength as…

I think the best thing a tutor can do is help the student to complete their learning cycle. So the student can continue doing it by themselves. The idea is to be a temporary guide in their academic journey that they need support. 1. Strong background in Maths. 2. Patience 3. I like to listen and motivate students to do their best. 4. Good…

The most important thing is giving your student a safe space by listening and understanding them. Then building trust is next part of the equation. If a tutor is able to achieve above, students freely ask questions and share their weaknesses. Because they know they will not be judged for what they do not know and you as a teacher there to help…

I think that the most important thing a tutor can do is to teach perseverance and adaptability, because sometimes, the only thing you need to do to learn something new or that you struggle with, is just to change your perspective a little.

Local Reviews

My daughter was happy with Patricia.
Steven

Inside Cannon HillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 12 Rebecca focused on applications of derivatives in calculus and worked through long division of polynomials; she also reviewed exam questions related to these topics.

Year 10 sessions with Lincoln involved factorising quadratic expressions using HCF and the difference of squares, along with practice solving simultaneous equations from word problems.

Meanwhile, Year 7 Josh practised constructing frequency distribution tables for data sets and represented information visually using histograms and polygons.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 Maths Methods student recently transitioned from General Maths and struggled to recall key rules for critical paths and exact form answers, as noted: "remembering the equation for critical paths." This meant extra time spent hunting through notes during problem-solving, rather than building fluency.

In Year 10, another student hesitated to attempt long division of polynomials independently—when faced with similar questions in revision, she waited for guidance instead of practicing on her own.

For a Year 7 class assignment, difficulty converting units was linked to skipping written steps; "she tried to do it all in her head," which led to confusion mid-question.

Recent Achievements

One Cannon Hill tutor noticed Rebecca, a Year 11 student, has started to openly ask for clarification on difficult classwork—something she was hesitant to do before—which is helping her tackle complex trigonometry problems more independently.

Dyllan, in Year 10, recently managed to solve polynomial long division questions with only minimal prompting after initially needing step-by-step guidance; he even began checking his own answers by expanding brackets.

Meanwhile, Kate (Year 7) completed an online formative quiz and scored 21 out of 21 after working through each question's reasoning together, finishing the session feeling accomplished and ready for her upcoming exam.

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 Carina Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Oliver Plunkett School.
