The most important is to listen to them. What tutors may want from the student could be different from what the student wants. By listening to each other and figuring out a solution, it could really make a difference in the outcome. I think as person who is calm, I can help students manage their study by suggesting logical and strategic methods to…

Ideally, although admittedly ironic, you want a student to be able to stand on their own two feet and achieve their goals without the need of a tutor at some point. So, although the direct role of a tutor is to teach content, the wider, arguably more profound role of a tutor is to teach lifelong skills, habits, and techniques that students can…

In my humble opinion, I believe that ACTIVE LISTENING is the most important quality that good tutors must possess. - Good tutors must recognise that students generally have an idea of the topic at hand. Instead of simply continuing to "teach" it is vital that tutors ask students of their understanding of the topic so that gaps in knowledge can…

I think a tutor can help a student to boost confidence in a situation where a little more dedicated time and effort could make possible.

Lesson went great. Noah really liked him and will see him again.
Jasmin, Kelmscott

Inside KelmscottTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Sarah reviewed mean, median, and mode in statistics and completed practice on pie graphs and line graphs.

In Year 8, James focused on multiplying and simplifying algebraic fractions as well as using Pythagoras' theorem to solve for missing side lengths in right-angled triangles.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Emily worked through solving linear equations with two unknowns and practiced transposing equations to isolate variables efficiently.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11, one student relied heavily on their calculator during classpad work, leading to gaps in manual problem-solving; as noted, "some questions or tests…require him to show his workings."

For a Year 9 algebra session, untidy layout and incomplete working made it hard to track errors—initial messy setting out led to mistakes when converting percentages.

In a Year 8 statistics lesson, homework was left unfinished and not brought to the session.

A primary student's missing notebook delayed the start of her maths tutoring by several minutes, disrupting focus right from the beginning of the session.

Recent Achievements

In a Kelmscott tutoring session, there was a noticeable shift in one high school student, Owen, who used to get stuck on algebra and linear equations but now asks for extra homework and recently taught himself how to find the distance between two points—a topic he once found confusing.

Another win came from Miriam (Year 9), who not only brought her own questions to sessions but has started completing her homework with hardly any errors after previously struggling to keep up.

For a younger primary student, Tawny showed new independence by correcting her own unit mistakes when calculating areas—something she needed lots of guidance on before.

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 Kelmscott Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Kelmscott Primary School.
