How It Works

How It Works – Behind the Scenes

Customisation means finding out what they need right now. Is it best to diagnose or are there obvious open wounds? Do we have much time? Are exams next week? Should we be doing general practice or targeting specific areas? If we have lots of time then we can start from scratch, spend a lot of time on algebra, for instance, as a prerequisite before working on anything else, since it provides a tool. Or should we be addressing even more basic problems like negative numbers. Really, customisable means designing the best approach to optimise the available time for the best outcome. That’s what we do, we look at the student’s current performance, understand their goals and then consider what’s really possible and how to get there. Sometimes expectations need to come down, often targets are realistic, but only if there is a dramatic shift in commitment. Tutoring is a big part of that, but the student must take responsibility as well.

Feedback From Parents

Mathematics is an essential tool for young minds in order to make their mark on the world.

Most people say that they are ‘bad’ at maths or that they ‘hate’ maths, this is likely a sign that their teachers have failed to make the subject interesting. No subject needs to be boring and engaging through humour and excitement should be a teacher’s goal.

How can you expect a young student in a class of 20 or more to pay attention to a subject which seems to have no relevance to everyday life? Everybody remembers a teacher who they loved, who made you look forward to going to lessons. That teacher who made the time fly by and yet inspired you to learn and try your best. That teacher could have taught you any subject and you would have loved it.

Here at Discover Tutoring, we aim to be that teacher. We aim to make the boring, exciting. We aim to engage, entertain and inspire young students which we believe is the recipe for excellent performance in school.

Learning can and should be a fun and memorable process, but sometimes it takes hard work too. This is where inspirational tutors can provide the motivation to study, alongside the tools for learning which will promote students to achieve their goals. Maths after all isn’t just a school exercise. It’s an important part of understanding how to reason about the world. Whether a student wishes to go to university and beyond, or go straight into employment, strong maths skills will put them on the front foot in life and power them to the future they deserve. Maths and physics go hand in hand and students may benefit from tutoring for both subjects, if that’s what you’re looking, for why not see our maths and physics page.
