The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to teach him methods and techniques for solving problems, instead of just providing solutions directly.

The most important thing is making sure the student stays engaged; not just focused, but actually open about what they know and don't know. Another important thing is to build the student's confidence. I usually go off-the-book and try to explain the topic conceptually rather than sticking to the material. I try to focus more on making sure my…

Inside St IvesTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Jasmine focused on long division through worded problems and multi-step questions.

In Year 9, Ben worked on applying trigonometric ratios (sin, cos, tan) to find unknown angles and side lengths, as well as tackling coordinate geometry challenges involving harder diagrams.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Mia concentrated on finding x- and y-intercepts of parabolas and determining maximum values on curves using graphing techniques.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 mathematics, messy written work—particularly in function notation—made it tough to spot errors and track logic, as one tutor noted: "Setting out work neatly and clearly" was a key target.

A Year 11 student revising statistics struggled to apply feedback after calculating the median incorrectly by one position, leading to repeated mistakes with quartiles on homework.

In senior economics, over-reliance on notes during practice questions meant formulas weren't memorised; when asked about opportunity cost or the balance of payments, he needed his sheet every time. This reliance slowed recall under timed conditions.

Recent Achievements

One St Ives tutor recently saw a Year 12 student who used to mix up the different accounts in balance of payments now accurately distinguish between them and explain what causes deficits or surpluses—something he'd struggled with before.

In a Year 10 session, Jasmin, who was previously confused by box and whisker plots, can now confidently calculate quartiles and interpret what they represent in data sets.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student who would rush through maths questions is now pausing to read each one carefully before answering, leading to fewer mistakes on their worksheets.

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 St Ives Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School.
