We don't have online enrolment, because we want first to talk.

School work, assessments, and other activities can all start piling up, and when adding tutoring homework it can quickly become overwhelming for our students. However, staying on top of the homework set during tutoring sessions is a good way students can reinforce their learning and make consistent progress outside the walls of tutoring.
Why is homework even important?
Homework isn’t just about completing an extra worksheet or questions. It in fact gives students the opportunity to apply what they have learnt on their own. During tutoring sessions, we as tutors explain a concept, work through examples and provide plenty of guidance but students need to be able to practise these skills on their own to build the confidence and long term understanding. Regular homework also helps us as the tutor identify areas of weakness that may need further attention. If a student consistently struggles with a particular type of question, we can use the next tutoring session to revise the concept and address what they are struggling with.
How can students stay on track and minimise it piling up?
The key is consistency rather than completing everything at the last minute. Encouraging students to set aside a small amount of time each day of a few times through the week to work through their tutoring homework. For example, breaking a larger task into smaller sections can make it feel much more manageable. Additionally, students should also keep track of what has been set so they can’t say oh I forgot what it was. Writing it in a diary or noting it down on the computer can help prevent the typical “forgot” excuse, particularly for when students manage multiple subjects or come to tutoring for more than 1 subject. Importantly, students should ask questions when they are stuck and not be afraid to speak up. Homework is designed to reinforce learning, it is all part of the process.
Making progress
The most successful students aren’t those who complete hours of homework everyday. It is the students who develop consistent habits and take responsibility for their learning.
