I'd like to say how pleased I have been to have Michelle as our tutor. Michelle is hard working and diligent, a gifted teacher and communicator who has helped Katie and Sam improve tremendously in confidence and ability over the last 3.5 years.Gaby
Year 5 student Mira worked on measurement concepts and reviewed shape identification alongside basic addition and subtraction.
In Year 8, Willow focused on solving linear equations and tackling more complex fraction operations, using step-by-step breakdowns for clarity.
For Year 9, lessons with Sam included applying the index laws to simplify algebraic expressions and practising graphing linear equations by plotting points and drawing straight-line graphs.
In Year 9 Maths, Riley often avoided writing out his working—preferring to talk through problems or attempt mental calculations. As a tutor noted, "he attempts to do all his working in his head," which led to lost steps and confusion when simplifying fractions or solving equations.
During graphing tasks, skipping labels and not recording axis intercepts made it harder for him to check answers or spot errors.
Meanwhile, Willow (Year 8) repeatedly submitted incomplete homework and rarely showed detailed steps in algebra practice; this habit meant mistakes went unnoticed until review time.
Gracie (Year 5) hesitated to attempt unfamiliar questions without encouragement, leading her to leave sections blank during long multiplication drills—her confidence dipped after each missed answer.
During a Boneo tutoring session, Willow began to solve complex fractions and percentage problems in her head after previously needing step-by-step guidance. She's also now taking on extra work unprompted.
Riley recently started expanding brackets and collecting like terms without hesitation, marking a shift from his earlier confusion with algebraic notation. He has grown noticeably quicker at mental calculations during lessons.
Gracie in primary school has gone from feeling overwhelmed by place value to managing complex numbers independently, and she is now welcoming the challenge of Year 8 maths ahead of schedule.
Every student needs help sometimes, and often that help is needed in English. From basics like punctuation, spelling and grammar right up to narrative writing, proof reading and literary analysis. The Australian curriculum is thorough and there are various challenges that pop up for students over the years. At some point most students could use some help and an English tutor does just that - help! Ideally that help comes before the student has formed a negative cycle or fallen into a no-effort habit.
What we do is facilitate that help as a home service, we'll organise an in-home English tutor in Boneo, or wherever it is convenient for you.
A local Boneo English tutor will come to you at a time and day of your chosing and offer tutoring help in a manner tailored for your child's unique situation. The first lesson works as a trial so that if your child doesn't connect well with the tutor, you don't have to pay and we can organise someone else for you.
The terms of service are super simple too. No contracts or minimum hours or cancellation fees or anything like that. You get charged a simple hourly rate. That's it.
