Inside BusbyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Jay worked through multiplying and dividing indices as well as solving linear equations, focusing on step-by-step methods for each.

Year 11 student Emma tackled differentiation using the chain rule and first principles, then applied these skills to real HSC-style questions.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Daniel practiced statistical analysis by interpreting different types of graphs and calculating z-scores within the context of normal distribution problems.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student often chose to solve equations mentally rather than writing out steps, making it hard to spot errors and "see the steps that he's taking."

In Year 11, messy working—especially when using too much space—meant calculations for complex algebra became difficult to follow, even for the student.

A Year 12 learner struggled with long worded questions in trial exam preparation; confusion arose from not clearly identifying objectives within problems.

Another senior student hesitated to check answers or would second-guess himself after setbacks. This left him unsure if his solutions were truly correct under pressure.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Busby noticed a big shift with Aryan (Year 10): he used to get stuck when tackling unfamiliar maths problems, but recently started breaking down harder questions into smaller steps on his own—something he avoided before.

Anne (Year 12) had struggled to re-learn older algebra topics, yet this week she worked through revision problems more quickly and even solved equations without needing prompts.

Meanwhile, Daniel (Year 9) has become much more proactive; rather than glossing over mistakes from his last exam, he now looks back at his working out to spot and correct errors himself.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We are very happy with Shunan as Antony and Bella's tutor. He is doing a wonderful job. Thank you!

Grace is really enjoying the sessions with James and the support has given her confidence. He is an excellent tutor.

Ajok is a lovely person who my daughter has taken to very well in the first two lessons we have had.  Ajok was unable to see us last week due to her own study commitments, but I'm hopeful this tutoring will be just the help my daughter needs.

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 Green Valley Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like James Busby High School.
