I believe that tutoring for a student should be a safe zone space where they can make mistakes. Tutoring does not have the same pressue for a student that school can, as such it is important for a maths tutor to be patient and adaptive when a student is struggling with a concept. A tutor should welcome mistakes as an opportunity to grow. I also…

The learning space is the most impactful factor for a student's capacity to learn. If they don't feel safe or they don't feel encouraged, they can lose interest and/or disengage. Maintaining this space is the most important thing a maths tutor or teacher can do for their students. This takes the form of a number of things; the words and tone of…

Inside BlacksoilTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Cale focused on simplifying and solving linear equations as well as reviewing techniques for adding and subtracting decimals, with some sessions also spent strengthening note-taking and content retention skills.

Another Year 10 session included practice on polynomial expressions, index laws, and the basics of surd operations.

For a Year 9 student, Emily, recent lessons addressed calculating overtime pay and penalty rates in real-life contexts and revisited order of operations through worked examples to build confidence with multi-step problems.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student lost his maths assignment due to computer issues and, as one tutor noted, "this very badly affected his grade"—highlighting the importance of better file organization and digital backup habits.

In a recent Year 12 lesson, another student's revision was slowed by incomplete note-taking; "her notes were lacking because she didn't have enough pages," which left gaps in understanding new content.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 learner struggled to keep track of formulas for algebra and trigonometry—without a routine for recording or reviewing these basics, recall faltered under test conditions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Blacksoil noticed one high school student who previously struggled with worded maths problems now working through them more steadily—she's even started double-checking her answers to catch mistakes on her own.

Another secondary student, after initially losing nearly all marks on a mock test due to mixing up operations, is now asking for strategies and reviewing notes more actively between sessions.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner who used to wait passively for help has begun telling the tutor what mean, median, and mode are before being prompted, then finished several matrix questions independently during their session.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We find Stephen to be a fabulous tutor and of great assistance to David in maths!

I am very happy with Erin's progress, Cassie has been a great help and she communicates with Erin well , which has seen Erin progressing to a higher grade.

We could not be happier with MinJae as Adam's tutor!! Adam fist pumped the air after MinJae left last week (second session) and informed me he "absolutely loved" the session. He suits Adam perfectly and I often hear them laughing during the sessions. Adam was very comfortable with MinJae from the first session and we are truly grateful to have found him; he is polite, patient and generous with his time, not to mention extremely good at explaining mathematical processes. As a result Adam's understanding of maths has grown exponentially.

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 Ipswich Libraries—or at your child's school (with permission), like West Moreton Anglican College.
