A great tutor is someone who is able to understand and sympathise with a student's situation but is also able to help them learn and achieve higher results. Therefore, the most important thing a tutor can do for a student for me is to be able to efficiently teach at a pace comfortable for a student. In terms of my teaching ability, I achieved a…

I think it is important for the tutor to influence the student to be more enthusiastic towards his studies. It is easier to learn stuff with focus and the right attitude. The tutor has to try and make sessions interesting. Also, at the end of the day, the student must not be dependent on the tutor. As a tutor, you know you have succeeded when once…

A tutor should support the student as much as possible throughout their education. If the student is struggling with stress or work loads, I will help the student mentally and academically at all times. I will ensure the student understands every concept by providing practice papers and answering questions outside of tutoring session times as well…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to improve the student's attitude towards the subject. If a student is having struggles with certain subject, they may have a negative view on it which limits their openness and ability to learn. As a tutor, we should not just provide information to students but make sure they understand the…

The best thing a tutor can do for a student is affirm their self-worth as a learner and as an individual. It can be frustrating not being able to figure something out, but it becomes a lot less daunting without extreme expectations. I think my strengths as a tutor lie in my patience and my creativity. It's certainly not an easy task learning…

I believe a tutor is not only a teacher but also a mentor. They are someone for the student to look up to, but also there to help the student develop their understanding through friendship and camaraderie. As they are separate from both school and home settings, they can offer an external and unique perspective on both academic and personal…

It is so important for tutors to adapt their method of teaching to the way the student learns. Every student not only has different needs and difficulties, but learns concepts differently. It is extremely important to regularly re-evaluate the student's objectives. Modifying your approach as a tutor to make the student feel comfortable and…

In the context of Science and Mathematics, the key aspect is HOW to think. Science requires imagination, innovation as well as an excellent recall and grasp of modern scientific understanding. Mathematics, being a tool - requires the students to be well-equipped with the basic mathematical tools. To directly answer this question; a tutor must…

Hence, they must cater to one's level of academic proficiency, their learning weaknesses and holes in education to provide a tangible improvement in grades.

To me, the most essential role a tutor can fulfill is that of an enabler and empowerer. I believe a tutor's primary goal should be to provide students with a strong foundation of knowledge and a resilient problem-solving framework, not only to tackle academic challenges but also to navigate any obstacle life may present. An empowering tutor equips…

Be patient. Tutors cannot expect students to understand or get the question right the first time. It is important for tutors to understand where the student went wrong and to slowly and easily correct them by following the question. Once they grasped an understanding, tutors should give the student similar questions to practice so they are…

The most important thing a tutor can do is recognise their students ability level and mould their teaching to that level.

A tutor needs to inspire the students in such a way that they know what their efforts will make them accomplish. A very few teachers are able to provide the contextual applications of what they teach the students. I believe it is paramount that a student know about WHY he is being taught something.

Delila is a delight! She has established a great rapport with Isabella in the two lessons so far; and has expressed a commitment to helping Isabella in the long term. She has a lovely personality; and Isabella really really likes her already. I could not be more pleased.

Inside Middle CoveTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Izzy focused on fraction operations and percentages, using revision sheets to pinpoint strengths and gaps.

Year 9 student Ella worked through linear relationships and algebraic equations in preparation for an upcoming topic test.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Sophie revised coordinate geometry concepts, specifically the distance formula and Pythagoras' method for finding interval lengths, applying these to practice problems with diagrams where helpful.

Recent Challenges

A Year 7 student working on percentages showed good understanding but could increase speed with more targeted practice—slower pacing meant less time for new concepts.

In a senior maths session, a tutor observed "past papers revision must be done," as the student had focused mostly on familiar problems and avoided tackling harder, unfamiliar exam questions.

Another high school student over-complicated ratio tasks, which made timed exam practice stressful and led to unfinished sections.

Meanwhile, in English, one secondary student struggled to develop richer dialogue in creative writing, resulting in flat characters and limited narrative tension.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Middle Cove recently noticed a big shift with Izzy, who used to hesitate before answering but now attempts maths questions independently and is less afraid to share her reasoning out loud.

In Year 12 Physics, Kristina initially felt overwhelmed by Advanced Mechanics, so she worked with the tutor to revisit Trigonometry first—now she's actively identifying concepts that need extra attention each session.

Another high school student, Cael, has moved from sticking to simple story ideas to experimenting with dialogue and character profiles for writing tasks. Last session, he developed a full story outline without prompting.

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 Castlecrag Community Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Glenaeon Rudolf Steiner School.
