Especially for younger students, the most important thing a tutor can do is to create a sturdy foundation in terms of their learning. Without a good understanding of fundamental topics, it would be difficult for any student to continue improving their learning abilities. Additionally, it would also be important for tutors to help students develop…

Build trust and safety to ensure the student does not feel judged. Empower independence and not give answers but rather build tools for problem-solving and critical thinking. Tailor the sessions to make it more individualised. Finally, celebrate success and progress. I believe my strengths are breaking down complex ideas. I can adapt to different…

Explain / Re-explain the concept to the student many times as required by the student. 3. Make sure that no student is being left behind in the batch. 4. Give the students personal attention.…

The most important things a tutor can do are ensure that they achieve excellent results in their examinations, develop a strong work ethic and generate an interest for the topic in the student.

Consider the student's strong side and encourage it but not at the expense of the weak side. And accept that how long it take for one to learn is not the factor as long as they learn. Patience is something i always try to exercise while teaching as everyone has their own pace and strengths and weaknesses. I believe an keen sense of observation…

I think aside from year 12 the most important thing a tutor can do is make a student love a subject. When someone loves a subject and appreciates it they'll work harder and more frequently to further progress themselves and become more intimate with it. Love is developed through success (positive reinforcement) and understanding (satisfaction that…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is creating a safe learning space where the student feels comfortable with asking any questions about their work. At university, I find that some tutors can be very harsh and cold which makes it difficult for me to ask questions out of fear of humiliation, so I make an effort to show my care,…

A tutor should realize that once upon a time, they themselves were a student who must have struggled with certain subjects and also fared well in certain other subjects. And they should realize from their own experience how much of a difference can a good teacher bring into the lives of students. A good tutor will leverage their own experience as…

Inside LewishamTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Liam worked on addition and subtraction using number lines, as well as identifying equality statements and basic counting strategies through interactive games.

In Year 10, Emily focused on BODMAS equations and fractions from her homework before tackling introductory algebra questions involving like terms.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Andrea revised percentage calculations without a calculator and practised the unitary method to solve real-world profit scenarios.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student struggled to show full working in algebra and coordinate geometry, leading to hidden errors; as one tutor observed, "extra attention to detail would help minimise mistakes."

In Year 9, a student often avoided writing out solutions neatly or following class formats, which made it harder to spot where steps went wrong—especially with formula rearrangement.

For a Year 6 learner, forgetting homework and rarely practicing challenging questions limited progress when faced with multi-step division problems.

Meanwhile, a Year 2 student's loss of confidence after setbacks led them to guess answers rather than try new approaches.

Recent Achievements

A Lewisham tutor recently saw Annabelle, a high school student, shift from hesitating with trigonometry to confidently identifying which function—sin, cos, or tan—to use and starting to rearrange equations independently, something she found confusing before.

In another session, Liam (Year 3) began writing his maths and diagrams out neatly without prompting; he used to skip steps and rush through work.

Justin, also in high school, was initially unsure about coordinate geometry but after extra practice now works through algebraic operations more smoothly.

Annabelle finished her lesson by solving a full set of angle sum problems with minimal help.

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 Emanuel Tsardoulias Community Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Christian Brothers' High School Lewisham.
