He can be as patient as possible and try to teach him in several small steps and not preferring opting for those bigger ones which utlimately helps him to enjoy the subject which must be the uptimate goal of any tutor.

Our modern world is built around education and every student can expect to experience a lot of it in the future. Therefore, it is most important that a physics tutor should model genuine interest in learning (both the subject matter and how to learn well), so that the student him/herself enjoys the process and is encouraged to become a lifelong…

In my opinion, the most important thing a physics tutor can do for students is making sure that the student completely understands the concept and does not try to rote learn it. I believe that a tutor is a person who can change the point of view of a student through which they can grasp the concept well and improves their understanding ability. I…

Personally, I think it is important to boost students' confidence in their abilities by providing positive reinforcement and constructive feedback. 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…

Be patient, sometime students are having a hard time to understand some new confusing concepts in math or physics. It is important to explain the concept to students in a different way. During such a time, finding a new way to explain things in an easier way such students can learn is very important or students might give up on this point. In the…

Listen. Every student excels in some ways and does not in others. This emphasises the importance for a physics tutor to present ideas in ways which allow the student to learn them in the most efficient and effective ways. This also ensures that the tutor does not repeat anything the student already knows and identifies what the student has yet to…

Help. A tutor should allow for the student to work with their strengths to solve problems, and also to work on weaknesses. a physics tutor should work with a student, ie. adapt to how different students work, and help them work according to their process. I am good with working with people. as a tutor, i also allow a student to discover answers…

I think a physics tutor can teach a student how to learn a topic after it is explained by the tutor. Because at the end, it is the student who needs to learn by themselves after something is being taught to them. A tutor should make sure that anyone can learn those topics on their own if they are introduced by the tutor. My first strength as a…

The most important things a physics tutor can do could be split into two parts.

Spiritually, tutors are there as mentors, which they need to encourage the student to achieve their full potential, because usually due to exam…

Tutors are expected to bolster student grades however this is not their true purpose, A tutor should help to develop students to not only achieve greater marks but also to have a greater understanding of the field they are being tutored in.

Inside ClaphamTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Jack worked on identifying odds and evens, creating timelines, and counting backwards using number lines.

In Year 9, Liam focused on understanding Pythagoras' Theorem with visual examples and began exploring the basics of trigonometry and probability.

For Year 10, Sarah deepened her knowledge of probability by working through Venn diagrams, tree diagrams for events without replacement, and calculating probabilities for mutually exclusive events.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9, one student's algebra responses were "hard for the examiner to follow" due to unclear formatting, making it difficult to spot and correct sign errors.

A Year 11 student relied heavily on copying previous problem structures in calculus but made minor mistakes with negatives when situations changed; as noted, "she sometimes copies a template without checking if all rules still apply."

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student often left textbook exercises unfinished at home, impacting her recall during lessons.

In English (Year 10), forgetting to underline key words in questions led to incomplete analysis and missed marks.

Recent Achievements

One Clapham tutor noted that a Year 11 student who previously struggled with applying the chain rule in calculus can now combine it smoothly with other differentiation rules and independently solve mixed problems.

In Year 10, another student who was often hesitant to ask for help now talks through her maths reasoning out loud, helping clarify misunderstandings on her own during sessions.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student recently used a new pattern-based strategy for unfamiliar times tables—something she hadn't tried before—and then confidently applied this approach to tackle tricky multiplication sums without 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 Mitcham Memorial Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Clapham Primary School.
