A tutor can be a good role model for the student. So, I would ensure that I am always on time and help them understand mathematical concepts in a friendly way. If a student has any queries on certain concepts on the day before the exam, I would take the extra step to answer their queries via email/phone. I regularly watch tutorials in mathematics…

The most important thing a tutor could do for a student would be showing them the tools and steps they need/ can use in the future when they are having difficulties understanding certain subject or concepts. My biggest strength would have to be my communication skills. Wether it's verbal, visual, speaking, or hands-on, I'm able to effectively…

The most important thing, I feel, is to listen to students’ feedback on any issues they have with topics they are struggling with. Every person learns in a different way - I didn’t enjoy maths or physics until I had a certain teacher in school who tutored me in a way tailored to me and was shown that these subjects could be beautiful when you…

Tutors can regurgitate the curriculum back to students exactly how most high school teachers do, however I don't think this is a great strategy. Tutors are given the opportunity to have 1 on 1 time with students, which has a much greater influence on the pupil. Tutors can use these sessions to accelerate their students learning, and ultimately…

To give the student confidence, and to overcome exam anxiety.

Aside from teaching the content in an understandable and logical manner, I also think that a tutor should try to inspire a student to become a self-directed and motivated learner. Such a transformation creates the best performing students because they no longer overly rely on the tutelage of others. Rather, they learn to handle a variety of…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to change their perception of what their learning to not only just a task, but rather a hobby.

Being supportive. Every student is different and has a different way of catching and understanding things, you just have to be patient and supportive.

Provide adequate motivation and encouragement. A tutor is only half responsible for the student's progress, and the student is responsible for the other half through their own work and perseverance. It is therefore crucial that a tutor teaches not only content, but also good work ethic to a student by encouraging and motivating them to work hard…

Inside SouthportTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Mason worked on mastering the application of the product, chain, and quotient rules for differentiation, including tackling real-world optimisation problems using second derivatives.

Year 12 student Alex focused on logarithmic and exponential equations—reviewing their graphs and properties—and practised applying integration techniques to calculate areas between curves.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Georgia consolidated her understanding of trigonometric functions by practising sine and cosine rules with diagrams, then applied these skills to find unknown sides and angles in non-right-angled triangles.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often mixed up multiplication strategies, as noted: "He breaks down 12x7 as 10x7 + 2x7, but sometimes switches methods mid-question," which led to confusion and extra time spent clarifying steps.

In Year 4 maths, one student relied heavily on concrete tools for translating word problems but struggled to move toward abstract equations without these aids.

For a Year 11 student preparing for exams, incomplete summary notes made it difficult to recall earlier content; this resulted in confusion during multi-topic revision sessions and slower progress on mock tests.

Confidence would waver after encountering tough exponential questions in senior maths, sometimes stopping them from completing solutions even when their working was correct.

Recent Achievements

A Southport tutor recently noticed Jakob, a Year 5 student, making a big leap by tackling decimal homework questions on his own—just last month he needed step-by-step guidance for each one.

In Year 10 maths, Rachel started speaking up and sharing her ideas aloud during lessons instead of waiting for prompts; this is the first time she's shown that kind of initiative.

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student took it upon himself to search out the trapezoidal rule independently to solve an unfamiliar calculus problem, showing real growth in self-driven problem-solving.

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 Southport Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like The Southport School.
