The most important goal for a tutor is to spark students' interest in the subject. Tutoring is not only about assisting with a student's grade. I do believe, though, that every student should find out what they are enthusiastic about. Due to my dual language proficiency in English and Chinese as an international student, I have experience…

As a tutor, the most important thing is to "preach". Tutors who don't know how to "preach" often only focus on academic matters, which can easily lead to intensified conflicts between teachers and students. The premise of "preaching" is to establish a harmonious teacher-student relationship. I think there are three key points, that is, to be more…

Help. A tutor should allow for the student to work with their strengths to solve problems, and also to work on weaknesses. a tutor should work with a student, ie. adapt to how different students work, and help them work according to their process.

I believe that it is important for tutors to be passionate about teaching. This way, it is easier for the student to gain interest in the subject, which ultimately leads to better performance from the student as they are more motivated to study and learn. I also think that it is important for tutors to create a comfortable learning environment for…

1. The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is help them become more confident with themselves about their ability to achieve the grade they want in the subject they want.

The goal of tutoring should be to empower students and thus the primary focus of tuition should be to develop confidence and independence rather than reliance. For this reason, I believe the most important component of tutoring is not working through content, but reflecting and future planning to ensure the student believes they have the skills…

A tutor needs to always be supportive. A student needs a tutor because (s)he wants help. Sometimes not getting a good result can be frustrating for them.

I consider the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to make learning engaging and make student love the subject.

Understanding and learning about the child's needs and adapting your teaching style to best suit their needs.

I believe the most powerful way a tutor can aid a student is by giving them confidence.

I believe it is important to understand the student's weaknesses and strengths before starting to teach them.

Hence, I try to first help them understand the basics then go…

Therefore, what I can do is to activate their interests and build up confidence in my way. There are…

Inside Leawood GardensTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Lucy worked on index laws and practiced adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions.

For Year 11, Divyanshu focused on differentiating rational functions using first principles in Mathematical Methods and covered the basics of stoichiometry and unit conversions in Chemistry.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Mia tackled titration questions in Chemistry—including a brief introduction to chromatography—and explored the chain rule for differentiation in Maths using both f'(x) and dy/dx notation.

Recent Challenges

In Year 12 Chemistry, one student often hesitated to attempt drawing complex organic structures without first reviewing textbook examples—this led to delays and incomplete practice, especially with esters and amides.

As a tutor noted, "he struggled to number the side chains accurately," which affected his confidence during timed tasks.

Meanwhile, in Year 9 Maths, another student found recalling index laws from memory challenging; when faced with unfamiliar surd questions or fraction conversions, written working was sometimes skipped or left half-finished.

This resulted in errors going unnoticed until later review sessions, adding frustration and extra catch-up work before assessments.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Leawood Gardens recently noticed a big shift with a Year 9 student who, after previously struggling to put pen to paper, wrote a full-length essay independently within just one week.

Meanwhile, a senior chemistry student moved from needing step-by-step help with reaction equations to accurately identifying amines solo as primary, secondary, or tertiary by the end of the session.

For a younger learner, Lucy has begun tackling fraction problems without prompting—last term she hesitated and needed reminders for each step, but now attempts solutions solo before asking for guidance.

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 Fullarton Park Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Seymour College.
