Build interest. For younger student, most of them are still trying to find their interest in a certain field. The best thing I can do is to build interest with my humorous skill.

I guess that would be guiding them to make use of knowledge in real life situations by making connections between concepts and practice. By doing so, they learn something that is useful and could probably help them later in their lives.

Inside Black ForestTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Zara worked on comparing and ordering fractions using visual models, then practised multiplying and dividing fractions as well as converting between improper fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals.

Year 10 student Archie reviewed algebra test errors by revisiting factorising and expanding expressions, before moving on to ratio exercises from his laptop program.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Lachlan explored trigonometric sine functions—focusing on amplitude, period, and phase shifts—alongside geometry work involving the properties of quadrilaterals and solving for unknowns using side lengths and angles.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student's chemistry report was difficult to follow, with a tutor noting, "structure still not clearly and main point not communicated logically"—unclear layout made feedback hard to apply.

In Year 10 maths, skipping written steps meant algebra errors went unnoticed until review.

For a Year 8 research task, copy-pasting from sources without evaluating or organising ideas led to jumbled paragraphs and unclear argument flow.

A Year 5 student repeatedly left fractions homework incomplete, which slowed her progress in class when tackling new problems.

Without consistent practice and clearer work habits, confusion lingered longer than necessary.

Recent Achievements

One Black Forest tutor noticed Molly now brings in her own draft assignments and openly points out which questions gave her trouble—something she used to hesitate with.

After some targeted practice on functions, she could independently identify domains and ranges by the end of the session.

In another case, Erin recently received an A+ for her maths investigation and took the initiative to plan ahead for upcoming assessments without prompting.

Meanwhile, Archie (Year 7) showed real growth by reviewing errors from his last test, then confidently solving similar algebra problems on his own.

What they say about our tutoring

Jarryd is proving a great find! Meg's already doing better and feeling more confident, so we're very happy. Thanks for finding him for us.

Katie is great and things are all going very well. Both Michaela and I like Katie very much.

Thanks for organising Matt for tutoring. Tom had a great first session with him and said he 'got heaps' out of the experience.

Local Spots for Tutoring

If you'd prefer not to have lessons at home, tutoring can also take place at a local library—such as Goodwood Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Black Forest Primary School.
