It is important that students succeed and sometimes this means going back to the concept. In my teaching I've explained to students who don't understand that the teacher needs to find another way to present the content. Having taught ESL I empathise with students whose second language is English. I have considerable experience and have succeeded…

The most important things a tutor can do could be split into two parts. Academically, tutors are there to help the student to learn all the knowledge required for them to achieve better grades. Spiritually, tutors are there as mentors, which they need to encourage the student to achieve their full potential, because usually due to exam pressure,…

Besides grades, I would say that a tutor is also essentially teaching the student life skills such as responsibility and perseverance. I had this unmotivated student. He wouldn't complete the homework that I had given him and often fell asleep in class. I started to find out the reason behind his behavior and I used it to my advantage, Over…

I think the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to instill a sense of self-efficacy in the student, the belief that one is able to accomplish things and solve difficult problems through hard work and practice. A tutor should also provide constructive feedback to a student to foster student's progress. Once the student embraces…

The most important thing that a tutor can do for the students is to motivate and encourage them to do their best. I believe that results are mostly achieved through the effort of the students themselves, so as a tutor I try my best to cover all the concepts and to provide my students with support materials, but I also make sure that my students…

A tutor can encourage student so that they can boost their confident to do the things and make them understand things from their point of view so that they remember lessons for long time. Similarly, a tutor can help students to improve attitude towards learning that students no longer feel overwhelm or frustrated towards it. I think my strengths…

Be adaptable. Everyone learns differently and it is the tutor's job to be able to work with the different learning styles. I find that this is the most challenging to get the grasp of as it varies widely across all sorts of students, however, once a tutor learns how a student processes different problems and is able to cater their explanations;…

Make the student feel safe is number one and to inspire a love for learning is the goal! Ensuring that the tutor presents them self in a way where the child is comfortable in your presence so they can learn and ask question is vital also.

I believe that tutors must have a good attitude and genuinely enjoy the concepts and the subject. Without this, the student will most likely find the tutoring bland and boring, which would reduce their engagement and their overall performance and knowledge in the subject.

Local Reviews

James has been a great tutor from the very beginning. Very professional, and I can see my son actively engage in the lessons. I'm very confident that he'll feel far more confident going into his exams, and tackling Year 12 Maths Methods next year.

Inside St MarysTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Zara practised long division with remainders and revisited multiplication of larger numbers to build confidence.

For Year 8, Liam focused on expanding and factorising algebraic expressions, then created a formula sheet for area and volume as a study tool.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Aisha revised Pythagoras' theorem and explored examples of Pythagorean triples through targeted practice questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 algebra, skipping back-checking steps when solving complex equations led to repeated errors—"didn't check final answer against the question," as one tutor noted.

A Year 11 student working on trigonometry over-relied on their calculator for sine and cosine rules, which caused confusion when interpreting non-standard triangle diagrams.

In a Year 9 geometry session, messy formatting and unclear layout made it hard to spot where mistakes crept in while calculating angles with parallel lines.

For a Year 6 student tackling division with remainders, incomplete written working meant answers couldn't be traced or explained when asked during revision.

Recent Achievements

One St Marys tutor noticed a Year 8 student who used to hesitate with worded maths problems now confidently extracts key information and sketches diagrams on her own, making multi-step questions less daunting.

In Year 10, a student who struggled to remember index laws last term now applies them automatically without needing a reference sheet, even finishing all ten practice problems correctly in one session.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who found long multiplication overwhelming recently mastered a new technique and can now solve bigger numbers independently after just a few tries.

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 Park Holme Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Bernadette's School.
