As I alluded to earlier, I think the student's enjoyment is extremely important. That's not to say that they should be having fun at the expense of gaining knowledge, much the contrary; I think the best way for a student to gain knowledge that will last beyond the next test or exam is to have it conveyed in such a way that they take a genuine…

I think that curiosity and the satisfaction of that curiosity is the most enjoyable part of learning. Whilst students have different goals for their learning the tutor has an opportunity to impact a life positively. The most important thing is to achieve the student's goal but over and above that a tutor can engender a love of learning that will…

I think the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to build their confidence, make learning engaging, and teach them how to think independently. It's not just about explaining concepts it's about creating a supportive space where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. A tutor should also adapt their…

I think the most important things a tutor can do is a) be consistent and persistent - constantly show up, be willing to explain things 100 times if that's what is needed. The student needs to have faith in you. And b) build confidence - tutoring isn't a short term option, by teaching them the skills of how to attack problems they don't understand,…

For high school students, I find that the most important thing a tutor can do is to build a student's confidence in their own abilities. More often than not, I hear student's say that they don't know what they're doing, which can hold them back from trying their best. It's a fact of psychology that people tend to sabotage their own efforts when…

Inside DirekTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Vikrant worked on basic addition using counting strategies and practiced vowel patterns like -ay, -ap, and -at through word completion exercises.

In Year 8, Amelia focused on calculating the perimeter of irregular shapes and finding the circumference of incomplete circles using diagrams to support understanding.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Suhana strengthened her skills in surface area by working through problems involving cubes, rectangular prisms, and cones, as well as revising area formulas for composite shapes.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 Maths, one student hesitated to talk through their reasoning and needed encouragement to explain steps—this made it harder to identify where confusion started during Pythagoras' Theorem and rearranging equations. As a tutor noted, "she tends to say 'I don't know' quickly instead of unpacking her thinking."

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student struggled with back-checking answers when finding the area of composite shapes, often missing units or misapplying operations unless prompted.

In upper primary (Year 5), another found multiplication drills overwhelming and lost focus during multi-step problems, leading to unfinished work when memory recall faltered.

Recent Achievements

A Direk tutoring session saw one Year 10 student become much more independent with Pythagoras' theorem—he worked through problems without needing help and fixed small errors on his own, a big step from relying on prompts before.

Another high schooler began backchecking her maths work out of habit, catching mistakes herself rather than waiting for the tutor to point them out.

For a younger learner, after struggling with number order past ten, he can now fill in missing numbers up to twenty almost error-free and will even trace new words while saying them aloud—something he'd never tried at the start.

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 Burton Community Hub Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Lake Windemere B-6 School.
