A good tutor should be able to adapt to each student's learning methodology and tailor the experience to address their weaknesses and hone their strengths. As an outgoing and perceptive person, I can make students feel comfortable around me. This subsequently enables me to assess their skills and help them…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is help them in any way they can, this does not only apply in an academic sense but also in aspects of the students life (eg. dealing with stress, etc.) I can easily explain harder concepts in simpler terms, making it less intimidating for students when encountering new topics. Furthermore, my…

I consider patience to be the most important virtue in a tutor, setting small checkpoints between certain topics is a good strategy. A tutor should always pause and ask if the student has any questions or doubts about the concept. A tutor should make the student feel comfortable around them and they should not hesitate to ask any questions - no…

I place high importance on uncovering the strengths of the student and using them to develop a learning strategy which maximises their learning potential. I also consider rapport building and connecting the subject matter with the interests of the student as some of the most important things a tutor can do for a student. Patience, creativity,…

Teach in an understandable, motivating, and enjoyable way. Crucial factors for efficient learning (things as relibaility, punctuality and so on) are all obvious and mandatory to me. Finally, every student has his / her own ways of learning / understanding things, and it is clearly the job of the tutor to find out the most efficient one, to let the…

This has not only allowed me to excel in my studies but has also filled my life with joy and wonder at the many things there are to learn and understand. This was given to me by my teachers and parents, and I think this is the best gift a teacher of any kind can give to a student. I have a solid…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is help them believe in their own ability to learn. When a student gains confidence, they become more willing to try, make mistakes, and keep going — and that’s when real progress happens. A tutor’s job isn’t just to explain concepts, but to create a safe space where the student…

Teach obviously! but i think if the tutor can make the lessons as fun as possible so that the student looks forward to them as something enjoyable rather than as purely work, the best results will occur.

First is to teach the student not only what to do but why they do it. This results in greater retention and a sense of meaning toward what they are studying which has a great motivating effect.

Show the student how to learn something. If a tutor can explain another way of looking at problems so that the student understands how to approach them, its the most useful thing for them.

In order to establish a good relationship, the tutor must be an energetic person, someone with a lot of enthusiasm with respect to human interactions.

Inside St LeonardsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Emily reviewed multi-digit addition and multiplication, then practised comparing and adding fractions using visual models.

Year 7 student Daniel focused on solving algebraic equations with unknowns on both sides, as well as building confidence in long division through step-by-step breakdowns.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Sarah worked through the expansion and factorisation of algebraic expressions and explored index laws, including why any number to the power of zero equals one.

Recent Challenges

In Year 5, a student hesitated to translate diagrams into equations during geometry tasks; as one tutor observed, "processing information when magnitudes of numbers are high" led to confusion in worded problems.

A Year 8 student showed reluctance to write out full algebraic working, which made it hard to spot calculation errors with negative numbers.

In senior years, several students in Years 10–11 missed key steps when factorising or simplifying indices—this sometimes resulted from over-reliance on cosmetic corrections and not responding to previous feedback.

During timed assessments, mistakes converting units (e.g., cm to m) slowed progress and eroded confidence.

Recent Achievements

One St Leonards tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 8 student who used to guess through long division but now confidently uses the "guess and verify" technique—he checks his steps, fixes errors on his own, and only asks for help when really stuck.

A Year 10 student recently began slowing down during algebra tests instead of rushing; this new habit has helped her spot mistakes before submitting work.

In a recent primary session, Caitlin, who previously hesitated with times tables, started reciting unfamiliar ones without prompting and explained how she checked her answers for accuracy.

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 Greenwich Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like International Chinese School.
