The most important thing for a tutor is to understand the weaknesses of a student, identify his/her areas of discomfort and find a suitable way for the student to digest. Being able to be a good friend of the student is also a rare quality every tutor should possess. I have 5+ years of experience tutoring students from various background. My good…

As a tutor, I could assist students to understand their subjects by motivating them involving an interactive class with students. When I went to tutoring, I had the best experience by having a very motivated, interactive and interesting tutor. I will try to become one of them though I'm still yet to gain formal experience of tutoring In addition,…

I believe that teaching is not about pumping a student with exam papers or to make them memorise the answers and get good grades, for my satisfaction. But about really making sure the student understands a concept, so that they have a strong foundation and can apply to it many different question styles. This will actively stimulate creativity and…

Inspire students to understand the importance and broader concepts within mathematics.

Tutors are expected to bolster student grades however this is not their true purpose, A tutor should help to develop students to not only achieve greater marks but also to have a greater understanding of the field they are being tutored in.

Inside ClaphamTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Jack worked on identifying odds and evens, creating timelines, and counting backwards using number lines.

In Year 9, Liam focused on understanding Pythagoras' Theorem with visual examples and began exploring the basics of trigonometry and probability.

For Year 10, Sarah deepened her knowledge of probability by working through Venn diagrams, tree diagrams for events without replacement, and calculating probabilities for mutually exclusive events.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9, one student's algebra responses were "hard for the examiner to follow" due to unclear formatting, making it difficult to spot and correct sign errors.

A Year 11 student relied heavily on copying previous problem structures in calculus but made minor mistakes with negatives when situations changed; as noted, "she sometimes copies a template without checking if all rules still apply."

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student often left textbook exercises unfinished at home, impacting her recall during lessons.

In English (Year 10), forgetting to underline key words in questions led to incomplete analysis and missed marks.

Recent Achievements

One Clapham tutor noted that a Year 11 student who previously struggled with applying the chain rule in calculus can now combine it smoothly with other differentiation rules and independently solve mixed problems.

In Year 10, another student who was often hesitant to ask for help now talks through her maths reasoning out loud, helping clarify misunderstandings on her own during sessions.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student recently used a new pattern-based strategy for unfamiliar times tables—something she hadn't tried before—and then confidently applied this approach to tackle tricky multiplication sums without prompting.

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 Mitcham Memorial Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Clapham Primary School.
