I think one extremely important thing a tutor can do is to adapt their teaching to the individual needs and abilities of each student, and adapt themselves to the student, not force the student to adapt to them. This involves listening to the student and observing how they work and then responding to those things. Another extremely important thing…

I feel that the most important things a tutor can do for a student, especially a student in high school is to reduce stress. Math tests and exams often, if not always stress students, however tutors I feel can reduce this stress by helping the student with questions and concepts, thus boosting their confidence and reducing their stress to allow…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is to be a reliable source of guidance and support.

Inside ScarboroughTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Max focused on rounding numbers and identifying significant figures in maths, while in English he practised narrative writing and explored levels of text analysis using Artemis Fowl.

For Year 10, Mia worked through algebraic expansion and rearranging equations on both sides for maths, with some time reviewing her assigned novel for English.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Tom tackled calculus concepts such as drawing derivatives and second derivatives from given functions, then revisited sequences and series along with exponential functions by working through past test questions step-by-step.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student working on algebra often set out equations messily, making it hard to spot errors—one tutor noted, "the layout is all over the place," which slowed progress and created confusion during revision.

In Year 10 English, another student did not complete assigned reading before the session; as a result, text analysis became superficial and he struggled to move beyond plot summary.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student avoided practicing unfamiliar maths problems in favour of easier questions, limiting exposure to challenging concepts.

These habits led to missed opportunities for deeper understanding and skill development in both subjects.

Recent Achievements

One Scarborough tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to struggle with algebra now showing all her working out and coming prepared with past test results—she's clearly taking more ownership of her learning.

Another high schooler who had found differentiation tricky last term was able to tackle optimisation questions smoothly after a single explanation, asking specific follow-up questions instead of just guessing.

Meanwhile, in primary sessions, one younger student who often hesitated over unfamiliar words has started sounding them out independently and even asks for help when stuck, rather than skipping ahead.

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 Scarborough Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St John's School.
