The 3 most important things a tutor can do for a student are: encourage a love of learning; understand the student's perspective when teaching; be capable to change the explanation in order to allow the student to understand the content. It's difficult for students to learn sometimes and I acknowledge that. It is my job as a tutor to encourage…

It is very important as a tutor to understand your student. Be his silent friend and connect with him. Read his mental abilities, his interest, observe his qualities and disabilities, his way of learning things. And then try to impart the teaching depending on all these factors. Each student is different and so is the method of teaching. Teaching…

The most important things I can do for a student, is to put myself in their shoes when teaching. Often some students take longer to understand, comprehend or apply the knowledge taught. It' so important to go at their pace, whilst challenging them as well, because there's nothing we can't achieve if we set our minds to it. It' important to simply…

I believe the most powerful way a tutor can aid a student is by giving them confidence. More than often, students can show more vulnerability in a one-on-one session than in a classroom surrounded by their peers, and so the best thing I can do is use these private sessions to impart confidence in the students by making them see ways they can…

Expanding on what I have written earlier, I think that one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is be prepared, and always willing to learn. I think this requires being a bit humble, and accepting that, even with something that may appear to be far below the tutor's learning, there may still be things that aren't known or have…

I think that a tutor must be patient and remain composed with each student. A tutor is meant to be that person whose teaching is tailored, so it requires an individualized approach, picked up and constantly adjusted as needs change and develop. I have (as told to me by all my ever-suffering associates) a 'wild' vocabulary, and for English…

The ultimate goal of tutoring is to help students become independent learners. A tutor must be willing to adapt to different situations and learning…

Engage, Communicate, Feedback. I think these three are the pillars of a student's willingness to learn. Apart from that, it is the tutor's responsibility to ensure the students learn. Every student is different and needs a different approach sometimes. We've known this since the big bang probably. But we keep ignoring something even more…

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.
