I believe a tutor should encourage a student such that the student can participate actively without any anxiety or fear of being wrong. Motivating a student and encouraging a love for learning through things like games, incentives and relatability to make classes more fun. I am extremely patient, I also enjoy the content I teach so I have no…

To foster a good tutor-student relationship first. Having this as the first form of connection will help know the students character and personality (and vice versa) which then will help the tutor know the best way to teach. I believe this relationship is necessary for effective teaching. I learnt most and learnt best from the lecturers with whom…

Teach them well, of course. But teaching them does not only mean completing the syllabus; it can also mean taking care of their mental well-being.

In my opinion, the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to break a concept down to its simplest form. In my school days, I often found this to be the easiest way to learn. If your basic foundation of any concept is strong, it gets much easier to build on that and learn more complex information pertaining to it. Moreover, being…

Inside St JamesTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Mieke worked on visualising data and interpreting graphs, then solved word problems involving graphing data.

In Year 10, Ronja focused on ionic equations and practised calculating titration quantities using stoichiometric ratios.

For Year 11, Fatima reviewed redox equations and oxidation numbers before revisiting subatomic particles and tackling linear equations relevant to chemistry calculations.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Chemistry, the student still shows some minor mistakes in writing chemical formulas, especially when revising ionic and polyatomic ions—missteps that lingered after sessions unless earlier material was rechecked.

A Year 9 student did not complete assigned homework or maintain a school notebook, making it difficult to track progress in new math concepts.

For a Year 6 learner, untidy handwriting made written work hard to read, leading to confusion during revision.

In English (Year 10), one student hesitated to organize thoughts on paper, often leaving drafts unfinished; as the tutor noted, "she writes well but is often hesitant."

Recent Achievements

One St James tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously relied heavily on guidance now summarising the main steps for balancing ionic equations and explaining the stoichiometric ratio's importance in titration problems—an area that had caused confusion before.

In another session, a high schooler began independently solving questions after gaps in balancing half-equations were addressed; she tackled most homework with minimal help, marking a real shift from earlier sessions.

Meanwhile, a younger student who used to rush through English assignments is now catching silly mistakes by reviewing his work more carefully, leading to clearer handwriting and fewer errors overall.

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 Victoria Park Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Millen Primary School.
