The ultimate goal of tutoring is to help students become independent learners. A tutor must be willing to adapt to different situations and learning…

As a tutor I believe the key actions we can do are supporting the child, giving encouragement, and ensuring the child's safety. Sometimes children need the reassurance that it's ok to fail and with hard work and practice we can help them improve with any subject. Children can get easily frustrated or upset with challenging academic material but if…

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

quote

Sophie is very happy with Jane as a tutor.  Jane is extremely diligent - we have the complication of the UK syllabi and Jane has taken a lot of trouble in her own time, to check up on what Sophie should be learning !

Hello and thank you for your email. We are happy with Philip's progress in these few weeks as you suggest I am sure more time is needed for him to be more confident . We are also happy with his tutor he is very well spoken, polite and gets on well with my son so far.

Thanks Gene, so far, Jamie's response has been very good.  He has had 2 lessons to date, as last week was cancelled at our request (he was away on camp). Jamie has responded very well to Eshan, who's approach is unassuming, gentle, but persuasive and constructive.  Jamie actually looks forward to spending time with Eshan to teach him his Maths strategies. We look forward to seeing Eshan again next week. Thanks also for the newsletter.  I have to say that I think your supportive written material is very useful!

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.
