I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to identify their strengths and areas of improvement in particular to improve the student's overall performance in a particular subject area. Thus, I believe it is really important to enable the student to feel empowered about their learning through support and encouragement. This…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is identify and act on the students gaps of knowledge. This is because information is available to the student in the form of teachers and unlimited online resources. A tutor's differentiatory use then becomes identifying a students gap of knowledge and assisting in weak areas that the…

Always know what students need and what's their priority. This means a tutor need to show respect to students. They need to know very well about the students and are wise and knowledgable enough to give good advice and make sure students love listening to the advice. I love to solve questions.

I think that a tutor should not limit themselves to just subject knowledge. They should research more on effective teaching methods and strategies that might help them connect to their students more. They should develop practices that make a student's life easier and should understand the individual needs of the students. Often tutors have to…

Besides helping them understand and learn a topic, the tutor should also help the student master the topic through mastery learning.

A tutor can be a guiding light for students. Each student has their own way of absorbing the information that they are taught. This might not always be available to students in a large classroom setting. A good tutor recognizes the strengths and weaknesses of the students and guides them accordingly.

Inside Gepps CrossTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student James worked through coordinate geometry concepts such as finding gradients and midpoints, alongside algebra skills like solving equations with negative indices.

Year 10 student Priya focused on trigonometry basics—including sine and cosine rules—using diagrams to reinforce understanding, and also practiced factorising quadratic equations.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ella covered matrices multiplication and applied Dijkstra's Algorithm for shortest path problems in networks, preparing for her upcoming maths test.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 mathematics, a student repeatedly left working out incomplete during algebra tasks—"he could leave some space between working out to allow himself to easily back track and find the error," one tutor observed, leading to confusion when errors arose.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student in calculus struggled with test timing; anxiety about finishing meant skipped checks and missed marks on Product Rule questions.

For a Year 10 learner, forgotten summary sheets made it difficult to recall trigonometric identities in revision.

After setbacks, another senior student lost focus quickly, making it harder to recover understanding from previous sessions.

Recent Achievements

One Gepps Cross tutor noticed a Year 10 student who previously struggled with rearranging algebraic equations now independently solves for different variables without prompting, showing clear progress in self-reliance.

In a recent high school session, another student tackled complex trigonometric identities after initially needing step-by-step guidance—now, he identifies which formulas to use for problem solving on his own.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student mastered distinguishing between prime and composite numbers by confidently applying continuous division, whereas before she would hesitate and guess at random. Last week, she picked out all the primes from her worksheet correctly.

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 Enfield Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Gabriel's School.
