Go at there speed of learning, and not rushing the process. If the student takes time to understand a concept, do not rush them and make it seem like they are slow at understanding, but ensure they understand, which is key.

Inside Burleigh HeadsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Willow focused on mastering fractions, including simplifying, comparing, and converting between mixed numbers and improper fractions, while also practicing operations like addition and division.

In Year 9, Jeremy concentrated on trigonometry—such as finding unknown angles and sides in right-angled triangles—and measurement geometry through targeted exam-style questions.

For a Year 8 session, Mia tackled scatterplots by drawing graphs, identifying variables, and interpreting relationships using real data scenarios.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 Maths, one student repeatedly rushed through multi-step algebra and trigonometry problems, missing key details in the question wording; as a tutor noted, "he was weaker in problem-solving because he skimmed the information and misunderstood what was being asked."

In Year 11 Chemistry, another student struggled to remember test dates and organize materials—during revision on balancing reactions, she didn't bring her notes and missed critical feedback.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student often forgot to bring paper for area calculations or left worksheets incomplete at home, leaving her unprepared for follow-up tasks. Each instance led to lost learning opportunities or repeated confusion during sessions.

Recent Achievements

One Burleigh Heads tutor recently noticed Jeremy, a high school student, spotting his own algebra mistakes and correcting them mid-question—something he rarely attempted in earlier sessions.

Another high school learner, Willow, used to second-guess herself on fraction problems but has started tackling worksheets from her syllabus with only an occasional prompt and now converts fractions independently when needed.

Meanwhile, Bella in Year 6 shifted from racing through comprehension passages to deliberately re-reading stories before answering questions; she even pointed out where her understanding had improved after comparing her first and latest written responses.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Kaitlyn and Jet have had a wonderful start to the term. Judging by the two lessons his had she has managed to make a world of difference already. Kaitlyn has a wonderful personality and has so much patience. I have nothing but praise for her.

We are so far really happy with jun woo. He is highly competent and seems to be doing a great job with Ashton.

Isabelle is lovely and she and Sara hit it off in their first session. We would definitely like to continue with Isabelle, thank you.

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 Burleigh Heads Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Burleigh Heads State School.
