A tutor should be strict about discipline but at the same time friendly and lenient understanding students problem. He should be available on phone all the time for his students during the exam period. Also, the tutor has to get some real-life problems and repeat the same basic concepts repeatedly so that the student memorises it for a long time.…

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. -…

I think the most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to build their confidence in a subject area. A student with more confidence will feel comfortable with the subject matter and will be able to apply it to a wider variety of questions and problems. Attaining this confidence can be achieved through a number of methods such as:…

Making them comfortable with the maths that they have to do, as opposed to just making sure they know how to do a problem. However, it would also be important to pass on methods of study and techniques that they would be able to apply to other subjects.

Local Reviews

Emmad is one of the best tutors we have used. He is knowledgeable, patient and effectively communicates maths topics. He works hard at not only relaying the topic that needs covering but understanding where your child's weakness is ( not necessarily understanding the topic but perhaps test anxiety or poor study habits for example ). I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a maths tutor.

Inside LockleysTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Portia practised volume calculations for rectangular prisms and revisited fraction equivalence using diagrams.

Year 8 student Tom focused on linear equations, including worded problems, and strengthened skills in factorisation and basic indices.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student revised trigonometry with right-angled triangles and explored coordinate geometry concepts such as gradient and midpoint using graph sketches.

Recent Challenges

A Year 4 student often rushed reading aloud, skipping over punctuation and words—this led to confusion when tackling place value questions like "543,765." As one tutor observed, "reads a little too quickly without recognising punctuation," which made accurate number writing difficult.

In Year 8 algebra, setting out equations in columns was sometimes neglected, causing lost working and errors during factorisation.

Meanwhile, a senior student preparing for the Maths Pathways test misplaced values when entering data into a graphics calculator, having to wait for the school device due to online calculator confusion. Confidence dipped after these setbacks.

Recent Achievements

One Lockleys tutor noted a Year 10 student who previously avoided seeking help now initiates questions about unfamiliar algebraic processes, showing clear growth in self-advocacy.

A Year 8 learner, once hesitant to attempt long multiplication independently, surprised herself by working through all steps without prompts and checking her answers with the distributive law.

Meanwhile, a younger student in Year 4 began re-reading sentences out loud for clarity during reading tasks—she used to rush and skip tricky words but now takes time to sound them out before moving on.

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