I think that curiosity and the satisfaction of that curiosity is the most enjoyable part of learning. Whilst students have different goals for their learning the tutor has an opportunity to impact a life positively. The most important thing is to achieve the student's goal but over and above that an english tutor can engender a love of learning…

I believe understanding the logic behind math can be very versatile and can be applied in everyday life, whenever it is maths or applying logic to your own life. I am currently studying Mathematical Methods, Specialist Mathematics and physics. I really enjoy maths but I also have experience in teaching and I enjoy helping my younger sibling…

I think that an english tutor must be patient and remain composed with each student. A tutor is meant to be that person whose teaching is tailored, so it requires an individualized approach, picked up and constantly adjusted as needs change and develop. I have (as told to me by all my ever-suffering associates) a 'wild' vocabulary, and for English…

I think the best tutor is one who guides the students properly and fairly not only in their academics but also about life challenges. Most importantly an english tutor should be ready to explain a single concept even 10 times to students if they are not able to get that without getting annoyed Well , I'm quite patient which I think is my biggest…

The most important thing that an english tutor for students is to allow them to work out answers for themselves. Of course, tutors should provide guidance, but they should not merely provide answers. Additionally, I feel that students must be allowed room to make mistakes. A tutor should not be one to apply too much pressure on a student, as too…

I think the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is identify and act on the students gaps of knowledge. This is because information is available to the student in the form of teachers and unlimited online resources. A tutor's differentiatory use then becomes identifying a students gap of knowledge and assisting in weak areas…

The most important things an english tutor can do is to tailor their lessons to suit their individual students as every student learns differently and has different learning needs. It is also important that the tutor has knowledge on the curriculum that the student is being taught at school so they can align what they teach what the student is…

I believe that a tutor should be someone whom the student should feel comfortable asking questions. In this sense, the student should definitely feel no hestitation when asking for clarification if they do not completely understand a concept, something which is not always easy to do in a class. I believe my weaknesses as a tutor would stem from my…

The most important thing is give a student confidence in their own abilities. Without confidence, a student will continue to doubt themselves and struggle whether you are guiding them in their learning or not. I am compassionate, good at explaining things in multiple ways, and creative. I believe that to be a tutor you have to be creative, as the…

The best things that a mentor can give his/her students are life long skills and strategies.

As I outlined earlier, a teacher's or a tutor's sole responsibility is not to teach academia, it is to serve as a role model and to help their students grow as people.

I believe there are two things that are most important for a tutor. The first is not only knowing what area of help the student is in need of, but understanding why they need help with that, which is then enlightening as a tutor in how they should receive assistance. The second point is to be approachable and kind, so that students feel as though…

I believe that an effective tutor will help the student develop as a learner and problem solver, not only in the subject tutored, and give them lifelong study skills. This is important because the subject and level being tutored is only temporary, whereas people continue gaining and using knowledge for their whole lives. My objective as a tutor is…

We are really happy with Roy's tutoring of our daughter. He has gained her trust and rapport and is steadily increasing her confidence with Maths.

Inside Edinburgh NorthTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Chase worked on identifying and spelling new vocabulary using word searches and syllable exercises, as well as reading aloud from Andy Griffiths' *13-Storey Treehouse*.

For Year 9, Amelia reviewed integers and indices to bridge gaps in her understanding, then practised calculating the perimeter and circumference of both complete and incomplete circles.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ethan focused on solving linear equations in two variables using elimination and substitution methods, along with tackling related word problems for extra practice.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student did not bring their biology test or English materials ("The Merchant of Venice"), which meant critical revision could not happen—preparation suffered, and gaps remained.

For a Year 8 maths session, he tended to skip steps and not explain them, so sign errors in algebra went unnoticed until checking time.

A Year 6 student's written work in problem-solving was messy and hard to follow, making it tough to spot where misunderstandings occurred.

One senior student relied on memory instead of using provided rubrics for science assignments, missing key criteria in the process.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Edinburgh North noticed Chelsea now asks for clarification the moment she's unsure about equations, rather than staying quiet and guessing—she's also submitting homework regularly with neat, self-checked working.

In another session, Caitlin moved from needing guidance on geometry problems to solving most independently and even tackled new variations without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Chase in Year 6 has started breaking down tricky words using finger-tap spelling—something he used to avoid—and now circles back to tackle tougher reading questions after finishing the easier ones first.

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 Playford Civic Centre Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Patrick's Technical College.
