In turn, this…

It's really important to be patient and maintain an open mind. Every student is different andearns different topics at different rates. When I was young I put pressure on myself to learn every topic as well as my peers and at the same rate. This caused a lot of stress for me and made me feel inadequate if I wasn't able to meet my goal. I think…

Inside Balmain EastTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 8 student Charlie reviewed mean, median, mode and tackled Interquartile Range, then moved on to constructing and interpreting box plots using recent test questions.
Year 9 student Emma practised solving simultaneous equations and reinforced her understanding of algebraic equations through targeted problem sets.
Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ava focused on compound interest calculations and depreciation problems in maths, working through real-world scenarios for extra clarity.
Recent Challenges
A Year 9 student struggled with reading worded geometry questions fully, leading to missed key details—"she is still struggling picturing the different scenarios from the word questions," noted a tutor.
In Year 11, failure to plan and condense history notes led to either excess information or critical gaps when revising for assessments.
For Year 8 algebra, skipping steps in rearranging equations hid sign errors and slowed progress.
Meanwhile, a Year 4 student repeatedly forgot multiplication tables during fraction work, causing frustration mid-task and slowing confidence growth when tackling more complex problems.
Recent Achievements
A tutor in Balmain East noticed a big shift for one Year 10 student who had previously missed key details in algebra questions; she now checks each problem more carefully and rarely skips important information.
In Year 8 maths, another student moved from confusion with multi-step percentage problems to independently solving even the longest ones without prompting.
Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner who once hesitated to read aloud tackled Level 11 and 12 books solo this week, finishing them with no help and even attempting the next level up.

Local Spots for Tutoring
