Sometimes a student needs more than just a tutor who can teach him or her difficult contents; they also need someone who can provide them with encouragement and support so they can start believing in their own skills. A tutor can come up with millions of strategies to apply in order to deliver a lesson, but it'll be worthless if you don't relate…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student are: 1. Helping students gain confidence as well as the skills they need to meet their goals. 2. Helping students relieve their academic stress and support them as much as I can. One of my main strengths is that I have numerous study techniques that I can share with them. Hence, my students…

I think the most important things are that a tutor should should consider are knowing the student's leaning style because not every student are the same to just get a question or example at one go, it is important to make the student ask questions or ask them questions so they think outside the box and get a better understanding. I think my…

Teaching the content and helping them fully grasp it, rather than doing it for them. I find that a lot of subjects have a particular rhythm to them; although some require rote learning (like particular concepts, especially within math), there are always patterns that can be identified so that students achieve their very best. For example: Stage 2…

I think the best tutor is one who guides the students properly and fairly not only in their academics but also about life challenges. Most importantly a tutor should be ready to explain a single concept even 10 times to students if they are not able to get that without getting annoyed Well , I'm quite patient which I think is my biggest strength…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can offer a child is patience. Impatience does not create a suitable learning environment. Qualities like these can prevent a child from wanting to learn, they may negatively associate with the subject, putting them further behind. Every child can succeed, given enough time.

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.
