I believe that tutors must have a good attitude and genuinely enjoy the concepts and the subject. Without this, the student will most likely find the tutoring bland and boring, which would reduce their engagement and their overall performance and knowledge in the subject. My experience as a tennis coach has shown me how different students learn at…

Modern curriculum is mostly based on a thought process that works for most students. But not for all, and school teachers don't usually have the capacity to take care of all the students individually. That's where a chemistry tutor can help. Everybody thinks about and understand scientific ideas and theories in their own, personal way. A tutor…

I think that a chemistry tutor should be approachable - the student shouldn't be afraid to say that they don't understand something. After all, the tutor is there to help the student through any new concepts and ensure that they are taught in an easy to understand way. The tutor should be able to adapt to the student's most effective learning…

As a chemistry tutor, I could assist students to understand their subjects by motivating them involving an interactive class with students. When I went to tutoring, I had the best experience by having a very motivated, interactive and interesting tutor. I will try to become one of them though I'm still yet to gain formal experience of tutoring In…

Additionally, promote analytical thinking and problem-solving skills rather than just memorisation of facts. And finally, offer emotional support and encouragement, helping students manage stress and…

I think that some tutors get caught up in focusing solely on the work in front of them and miss out on teaching younger students about the life in front of them. Instead of doing more work, tutors should provide organisation tips and possible strategies they can put in place to improve the quality of their work. Also, forming close relationships…

I also believe tutors must help students develop healthy self-study habits that encourage them to try solving problems themselves before…

Local Reviews

Freya and Lidia get on really well, Lidia is gentle, firm and positive all at the same time which works well for Freya. Freya’s confidence is growing already and she did better in her last weekly maths test than she usually does which was a boost for her confidence.

Inside Cherry GardensTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Ruby worked on applying the sine and cosine rules to solve triangle problems, as well as reviewing techniques for simplifying surds.

In Year 10, Daniel focused on test preparation for probability concepts—such as calculating event likelihoods—and practised solving quadratic equations by finding x- and y-intercepts.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Grace refined her research project proposal, clarifying research questions and structuring her investigation plan according to curriculum requirements.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 Maths, a student repeatedly omitted units and skipped steps when working with equations—one tutor noted, "She needs to show all working out and remember to write the units," especially during decimal division tasks.

Meanwhile, in Year 10 English, paragraph structure and reflective writing required more focus; sentence connections felt abrupt, and deeper analysis of recounts was missing.

A Year 12 student's research report showed gaps in referencing evidence and connecting sections smoothly.

In each case, incomplete written process or weak structural habits made it harder to communicate reasoning or earn full marks on assessments.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Cherry Gardens noticed a Year 11 student who used to hesitate with surd simplification now tackling these problems independently after just a few sessions.

In another session, a Year 10 student who previously guessed during graphing tasks started explaining how changing an equation affects its graph, showing real understanding rather than relying on trial and error.

Meanwhile, one primary school learner who rarely shared ideas before has begun volunteering their thoughts on how to improve experiments in science class.

Last week, that same student offered suggestions for making the next experiment even better.

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 Aberfoyle Park (The Hub) Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Scott Creek Primary School.
