I believe the most important characteristic a tutor can have that would be best for a student is trust. If a student is able to trust my abilities and my teaching, I think this allows many benefits to the development and improvement of their learning. This includes them being able to open up to me more about questions or even other…

1. To raise the student's confidence level. One of the students' mom commented on how I was always encouraging her daughter, and she found that so important, because if her daughter kept feeling bad about herself and kept doubting her abilities, she would probably never be able to do well. 2. To make the session interesting. It would be tough for…

Probably one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to provide them with the support and confidence when approaching a subject or concept that they struggle with. Allowing the students to get to the point where they may no longer struggle in that subject. One of my major strengths as a tutor would probably have to be my…

The most important thing a tutor can do is give a student tools with which to find answers for future questions. I am accessible and personable, and enjoy relating to students and their specific educational situation. I am able to break down concepts into understandable chunks, and I love to use analogies to achieve…

Make the students understand the problems so that they can solve the problems by themselves and utilise the knowledge later on. I am patient and persistent. During my practical demonstrations, if the students did not understand one way of explanation, I always tried to explain the problems from a different…

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.
