Use a small variation to check understanding. Finish by recording what is now clearer and what to revisit next.
| Broad concern | A possible learning target |
|---|---|
| “I never know how to start.” | Identify the given information and choose one first step. |
| “I understand in lessons but forget.” | Explain a method, then revisit it with a short practice question. |
| “A full paper feels too much.” | Complete a selected set of questions before building towards longer practice. |
Support should fit the learner, not the label
SEMH describes a broad range of needs. Ask about the tutor’s relevant experience and share helpful school strategies where appropriate. Academic tuition is not a substitute for mental health support.
Discuss the purpose and timing of exam practice. A tutor can begin with understanding and participation, then introduce timed work when it supports the agreed goal.
They can help identify current knowledge and prioritise gaps. The amount and pace of work should be planned realistically alongside the learner’s wider education.
No. Share what is relevant to safe, useful teaching and what you are comfortable discussing. Ask how the tutor would approach a first lesson and review the fit.
