The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is make them love what they are studying and also make the subject one of their strengths. A tutor is similar to a teacher, therefore giving the knowledge of what the teacher knows to a student is the most important thing as a tutor. As a student I know what I expect from my tutor therefore,…

Inside Salisbury DownsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Jack worked on applying the distance and midpoint formulas to solve coordinate geometry questions, then moved on to writing equations of straight lines using different forms.

In Year 6, Olivia focused on converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages as well as simplifying fraction answers, practicing with both worded and calculation-based examples.

For a Year 4 session, Emily tackled three-digit subtraction with regrouping and began building confidence through targeted times tables practice.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student working on intersection points for straight lines sometimes relied too heavily on notes, which slowed independent progress.

In Year 9 algebra, he skipped showing steps in indices questions, making it hard to spot small sign errors.

One Year 7 student avoided saying answers aloud during decimals-to-fractions revision—this led to hesitation and second-guessing.

Meanwhile, a primary student facing long worded problems hesitated to attempt them if they looked difficult; as one tutor observed, she froze at the sight of a multi-step question, leading to unfinished practice and missed confidence-building moments.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Salisbury Downs noticed a Year 9 student who had struggled with algebra is now identifying the gradient and y-intercept in linear equations but also using formulas more independently, showing less hesitation before starting problems.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student who used to guess at fraction operations now asks for clarification when stuck and completed their homework with all answers correct—something they hadn't managed previously.

In Year 4, one student who found worded maths problems confusing was able to break them down step by step after practicing new strategies, then solved several on her own 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 Salisbury Community Hub Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Salisbury Downs Primary School.
