I think the most important role of the tutor is to analyse and reflect on a student's learning and problem-solving approach methods, in order to provide meaningful adjustments for greater comfort and confidence going forward. In other words, the identification of barriers to learning is the most crucial point of a tutor's action, as it is the…

I believe that the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is make them feel welcome and build their confidence by acknowledging their progress no matter how small it is. It is also crucial for a tutor to recognize that everyone learns differently and adapt their teaching styles accordingly. Having finished high school just about two…

Besides grades, I would say that a tutor is also essentially teaching the student life skills such as responsibility and perseverance. I had this unmotivated student.

I believe that teaching is not about pumping a student with exam papers or to make them memorise the answers and get good grades, for my satisfaction. But about really making sure the student understands a concept, so that they have a strong foundation and can apply to it many different question styles. This will actively stimulate creativity and…

Listen. Every student excels in some ways and does not in others. This emphasises the importance for a 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 learn. -…

Inside HoveTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Ava focused on expressing decimal numbers as percentages and converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages, along with simplifying ratios.

Year 8 student Ben revised index notation with positive and negative powers of ten and practiced order of operations (BEDMAS) through multi-step algebraic equations.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Emily tackled properties of circles—using a compass to bisect lines—and completed homework exercises involving ratios and rates.

Recent Challenges

A Year 7 student's algebra work showed reluctance to show full working, leading to missed sign errors when substituting values.

In Year 10, a pattern emerged in geometry tasks: diagrams and written explanations were often incomplete or hard to follow, making it tough to retrace reasoning on angle proofs.

For one Year 5 learner, unfinished homework meant times tables recall lagged behind, affecting progress with long division.

Meanwhile, a Year 9 student only practiced familiar BEDMAS problems during revision sessions—new question types were left untouched. Each moment narrowed growth and sometimes led to frustration mid-task.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Hove noticed a real shift with a Year 9 student who previously hesitated to ask questions—this week, she paused mid-problem and requested clarification about exponents before attempting the next step herself.

In a recent session, a Year 7 boy who used to rush through maths tasks started double-checking his answers independently during decimal work, which meant fewer errors overall.

Meanwhile, a primary student became much more engaged in reading; instead of skipping over tricky words as he had before, he now stops to sound them out and self-corrects aloud when reading narrative texts.

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 Brighton Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like McAuley Community School.
