Acoording to me the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is make a positive impact on his life by not forcing the society standards for learning and growing as every child has a different mind and way of approach to things around them. A tutor is one of the best person who can analyse this and make learning a creative activity instead…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to help them grow not only as a student, but as a person. In my previous experience, I have found that oftentimes a student who achieves average academic results often does so due to fears of failure, or perhaps disinterest in the subject. I believe that the tutor can be paramount…

The most important thing a tutor can do is be there for their student, and understand the way that they learn. Understanding where their challenges are and where their strengths are. Understanding what teaching style and environment works for their student and adapting their sessions to suit. It is also important to not judge them based on their…

A tutor must give a student confidence and help them to not be overwhelmed by new topics. Once a student believes they can learn something, it is much easier to actually learn it. Tutors must also be personal and understand what method of teaching is most effective for each individual. As a recently graduated student, I am able to understand how…

Listen to what they need, and what they are struggling with. Be patient if they don't understand something at first, and if they are still struggling with the concept after a while, trying teaching it to them in a different way so that they do understand. Have a full understanding of what you're tutoring before you try and explain it. I'm a very…

I believe it is integral to grasp the individual students learning style and tailor my lessons accordingly. As a part of this, it's also important to learn what doesn't work for them, and avoid these techniques. For example, an English teacher might teach them poetic terms by getting the student to write out definitions. If a students doesn't…

I think the most important quality to bring to tuition is a sense of drive to motivate students.

High academic achievement can give a student a plethora of pathways in…

The most important thing is to probably instead of spoonfeeding the information to the student, communicate the importance of practice, discipline and routine.

it Is really important to sit down with the mentee and work out what they want and what you can give. While tutoring is about straight knowledge transfer, but I believe mostly its about seeing strengths in that particular tutee and making them aware of those strengths.

Local Reviews

Everything seems to be going well so far. There was a lot of laughter at this week’s session. That’s got to be a good sign! I asked Oscar why he had fun with Nick and not me. He said “I don’t mean to offend you Mum, but Nick knows what he’s doing!”. How’s that for a testimonial?

Inside NewmarketTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Lily focused on percentages and an introduction to Year 7 algebra, exploring new terminology and building comfort with simple equations.

For Year 8, Jay worked through solving one- and two-step equations as well as graphing functions, reinforcing his understanding by practicing with different types of variables.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Sarah reviewed the Pythagorean theorem alongside measurement concepts and geometric transformations using diagrams to clarify each step.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 algebra, one student relied on mental calculations and avoided writing out steps, which led to missed negative signs; as a tutor noted, "she tried to do it all in her head and lost track of the negatives."

In a Year 10 session on indices, skipping written solutions meant errors weren't caught until checking at the end.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 spelling activity showed that forgetting to count letters aloud resulted in vowel combinations being overlooked.

When tackling worded perimeter problems in Year 7 maths, confusion arose from not revisiting formulas or reading questions fully—time was spent reworking rather than building confidence.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Newmarket noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to speak up—this week, she began clearly voicing her doubts and asking questions whenever she was stuck, instead of just nodding along.

Another high schooler surprised himself by getting his first ever 100% on a homework set about decimals, after struggling with careless errors before.

In a Year 4 session, one student who used to rush ahead is now pausing to show full working for each step in word problems, making fewer mistakes as a result and choosing to explain her reasoning out loud.

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 Grange Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Ambrose's Primary School.
