Besides helping them understand and learn a topic, the tutor should also help the student master the topic through mastery learning. Mastery learning is a way of designing units of work so that each set of tasks focuses on a particular learning objective and students must master a task to move onto the next one. The tutor should also help the…

I consider the two most important things for a tutor to do are to first inspire confidence in the student and identify the area of difficulty as precisely as possible. Students are generally not equipped to identify the precise area of their difficulty as they don't have the knowledge to fully place it in the context of the subject. By…

For me the most important thing a tutor can do is to guide the student in such a way that at the end of it, the student is able to lead by himself in the direction he was originally intended to go. It is similar to the lines of giving a man a fish to teaching him to fish. The tutor has to ignite the spark of interest in the student so that the…

I think a tutor should be able to tell if their student understands something or not, often they don't say it outright and asking them directly might not get them to admit it. So by asking them to solve a question that indirectly uses the concept might help us figure out if they're having trouble or not. Students should also feel comfortable with…

A tutor can inspire a student to learn more and be inquisitive. Making the student ask more questions and grasp the concepts, are the major things a tutor can do for a student.

Try to make them feel confident in themselves and build intuition.

I think a tutor can teach a student how to learn a topic after it is explained by the tutor. Because at the end, it is the student who needs to learn by themselves after something is being taught to them. A tutor should make sure that anyone can learn those topics on their own if they are introduced by the tutor. My first strength as a tutor is my…

Be an example. Be relaxed, and make the student enjoy the subject without feeling like education is be all end all.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to be compassionate and assess their situation and help them navigate through the problems they are facing.

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to provide them with "methods" of learning instead of explain the concepts as they are. Because with methods, students can apply the methods elsewhere. Another thing is to teach students how to "become" a tutor as well. Because this is the way I learn difficult subjects. I imagine…

Inside NorwoodTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Charlie revised **solving linear equations with fractions** and practised plotting lines on Cartesian planes using graph paper.

For Year 9, Jess focused on **simultaneous equations** by exploring both the elimination method and substitution to strengthen her algebraic reasoning.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Sam worked through **conditional probability problems** and created box-and-whisker plots to interpret statistical data visually.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 algebra, skipping written steps—"he tried to do it in his head"—led to confusion with negatives and missed terms, which slowed down equation-solving.

A Year 11 student's graph work suffered from messy notes; "using colours and keeping lines clear" was suggested, but untidy layouts meant key points were lost during revision.

For a Year 6 learner, forgetting to bring organized materials resulted in wasted time searching for worksheets instead of practicing times tables.

Meanwhile, in Year 7 English, writing presentations out of sequence made ideas appear jumbled on paper and left the reader confused about the intended message.

Recent Achievements

One Norwood tutor noticed that a Year 11 student, Jack, who used to get stuck and guess on algebra problems, has started breaking questions into clear steps—he now highlights tricky parts and checks his answers line by line.

Meanwhile, Adam in Year 9 English has shifted from vague responses to thoughtfully analysing assignment questions; he asks for clarification instead of rushing, which wasn't happening a few months ago.

In Year 6 geography, another student began summarising research in their own words rather than copying text directly, finishing their last PowerPoint script 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 Norwood Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Saint Ignatius' College - Junior School Campus.
