In my opinion, a tutor must be able to empathize with the student and create a safe space for them. Its important to be constructive and patient especially with the ones that take time to grasp topics. One must keep instructions clear and always strive to empower the child by focusing on their strengths. Engage them instead of lecturing…

It is important that the tutor understands the needs and the gaps that the student has at the beginning of the sessions. An understanding of the needs of the student ensures that key objectives and targets are set with the student to drive ownership. As a tutor, it is also important to constantly assess the impact of my tutoring method in order to…

A tutor must be patient, flexible, honest and attentive. It is important that tutors do not give students the answer directly but allows the student to discover the answer with extra guidance. The ultimate goal of tutoring is to help students become independent learners. A tutor must be willing to adapt to different situations and learning…

The most important thing a tutor can do for their student is to accommodate their learning style. Students have ranging techniques and motivations when learning content. Personally, I struggled with auditory learning as a student, and would therefore ask my teachers to give me a range of tactile learning techniques to assist in my learning. I…

It is very important as a tutor to understand your student. Be his silent friend and connect with him. Read his mental abilities, his interest, observe his qualities and disabilities, his way of learning things. And then try to impart the teaching depending on all these factors. Each student is different and so is the method of teaching. Teaching…

I believe the most powerful way a tutor can aid a student is by giving them confidence. More than often, students can show more vulnerability in a one-on-one session than in a classroom surrounded by their peers, and so the best thing I can do is use these private sessions to impart confidence in the students by making them see ways they can…

Expanding on what I have written earlier, I think that one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is be prepared, and always willing to learn. I think this requires being a bit humble, and accepting that, even with something that may appear to be far below the tutor's learning, there may still be things that aren't known or have…

Local Reviews

Stephan has been tutoring my daughter for a couple of years now. He is approachable, professional and excellent tutor. Eliza has gained and maintained her confidence in Maths which is especially important in Year 12. Stephan helped her transition to Zoom tutoring last year when he couldn't come to our house and this was so successful they continued their sessions remotely. I highly recommend Stephan!

Inside St MorrisTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Pranavi practised adding fractions with different denominators and converting between improper fractions and mixed numbers, using visual models to reinforce the process.

Year 7 student Milly worked on applying angle terminology, including supplementary and complementary angles, as well as revising operations with negative numbers for her test review.

For Year 10 student Harrison, the lesson focused on solving quadratic equations using the null factor law, with step-by-step practice on breaking down each equation.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 algebra, a student hesitated to show all working when expanding brackets, which led to confusion about like terms and missed negative signs—she often expressed the answer verbally but struggled to write it on paper.

In Year 7 maths, another student sometimes misplaced digits in multi-step addition (e.g., placing the '3' from 309 in the thousands column), causing repeated calculation errors.

A Year 4 student skipped double-checking decimal placement during division by 1000s, leading to mistakes like moving the decimal only two places instead of three. These moments slowed progress and required extra time to clarify foundational concepts.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in St Morris noticed Milly, a high school student, has become much more independent with angle classification—she can now work out even tricky reflex angles and solve for unknowns using supplementary and complementary rules after struggling before.

Harrison, also in high school, showed real growth in trigonometry; he started the session needing reminders but was later able to remember ratios and consistently show his working when finding side lengths.

Meanwhile, one younger student who previously hesitated to ask for help is now openly letting her tutor know when she's stuck, making it easier to target explanations.

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 Norwood Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Trinity Gardens School.
