Selecting an online maths tutor shouldn’t cause you too much stress, provided you follow a few tips.
A maths tutor has a number of responsibilities. Not only do they need to teach you the right theory, they need to make sure your understand it, and know when and how to apply it in practice. It’s the application of maths theory that can often be the hardest part, which is why finding an online maths tutor who can detect and complement your unique learning style is so important. I believe that a maths tutor needs to have command not only over their subject, but also over the way they deliver it to you. If you’re not comfortable with their teaching style, all your efforts will go to waste.

Even in the short time since our launch, we’ve seen strong interest in parents and students searching for online maths tutors. So to help out, we’ve pulled together some pointers on how to use TutorBee’s online classroom to get the most out of your maths lessons.
Our online classroom helps by providing different ways to problem solve and collaborate. These are pretty important features – students need guidance working through equations, and tutors need the tools to be able to demonstrate and teach students how to solve these equations.

Say hi to Imelda P, another great TutorBee tutor. Imelda is a talented musician who joins TutorBee to tutor in music theory. She must be pretty good, too. After all, she's been practicing for over 35 years!
TB: How did you get into tutoring? What motivated you?
IP: I started tutoring students in music whilst I was an undergraduate of music in late 70’s to gain experience in teaching music (both practical and theory). I felt motivated to teach theory especially because it is often sadly neglected in the early phases by some teachers when students are learning an instrument. I believe music theory must go hand in hand from day 1 of learning a musical instrument.
TB: You tutor music theory. What fascinates you about the subject area?
IP: I liken music theory to the physical development of a young child. It is the crawling, the walking and the sounds that a child makes that...

Eek! The night before your first day back at school. It’s completely natural to have some jitters, but there are a host of things that you can do to beat the nerves and get your school year off to a great start.
If you’re one of those people who don’t like to be rushed (like me), then get to bed a little earlier than normal and set your alarm to wake up on time. This will help you get enough sleep, and provide you plenty of time to ease into your day.

1. Start the day with a good breakfast: Your diet plays a big role in how well you can concentrate and absorb information, and a good breakfast will fuel your day. Make sure it includes protein, like eggs, milk or cheese; some high fibre whole grains, like oatmeal of whole grain bread; and even a little piece of fruit if you feel like it

The way people learn is a fascinating process and better understanding your preferred style can mean the difference between a frustrating or satisfying educational experience.
Learning is not the same for everyone. Some students perform better in classes simply because of the way those classes are delivered. Take science for instance, the same student can struggle in the theory of chemistry, yet excel when lesson are taught as practical demonstrations. The difference isn’t necessarily an indication of intelligence, but often just a difference in how information is best absorbed and understood.
