I think the most important things a tutor can do are making a student feel safe enough to say 'I don't understand,' and building their confidence alongside their skills. So many students fall behind simply because they're too embarrassed to ask questions, so creating a judgment free and supportive environment is everything. From there, it's about…

It is important to build a relationship with the student and to always guide them but not push them to their limits. It is also important that the student understands how its done, while having them memorise a pattern is easy, allowing them to understand how to solve these types of questions will allow them to apply their solution to more things.…

Sleesha is always well prepared and punctual, she has helped my year 9 student a lot with getting a better understanding of the subject matter. We're very happy with her.
Kerstin Kugler

Inside HerdsmanTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Ava worked on multiplying and dividing fractions, along with strategies for solving worded problems involving measurement.

In Year 8, Ethan focused on simplifying algebraic expressions and expanded brackets using step-by-step written methods.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Lily explored trigonometry basics and practiced applying sine and cosine rules to solve right-angled triangle questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student's algebra progress was slowed by inconsistent homework completion—"failed to complete all homework questions," one note recorded.

In Year 10, careless handling of negative signs in calculations led to repeated errors; as observed, "details, careless mistakes" meant that time was spent fixing issues rather than moving forward with new concepts.

For a Year 7 student working on linear graphs, unclear written work and skipping question details made extracting the required information difficult, which disrupted understanding.

Meanwhile, in upper primary maths, forgotten multiplication tables left one student hunting for answers instead of building fluency.

Recent Achievements

One Herdsman tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to skip steps now carefully reads each question before starting calculations, leading to fewer careless mistakes in statistics problems.

In Year 8, another student has started bringing completed homework every session and recently tackled balancing equations without prompting—she'd previously needed reminders just to start.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who struggled with her 8 and 9 times tables last term can now recall them quickly and managed all the related questions without any hesitation during the lesson.

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 Cambridge Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Chrysalis Montessori School.
