Science Tutor Smithfield, QLD
Tutoring is essentially an aid for student's learning in schools. The most important thing that a tutor can do is to ignite students' passion for learning. This can be acheived through helping them with questions and concepts that they find confusing, guiding them to develop their own problem solving strategies and most importantly growing their…

Leah has been fantastic with our son and his maths. Thank you for your patience.

Inside CaravonicaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Layla focused on converting between analogue and digital clocks as well as practicing subtraction with decimals.

In Year 9, Sophia tackled index laws and worked through simplifying algebraic expressions, including expanding brackets and solving equations by hand.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Will spent his session revising for an upcoming exam by applying Pythagoras' theorem to find unknown side lengths and working through test-style problems involving linear equations.

Recent Challenges

In recent lessons, a Year 7 student repeatedly arrived without required materials and lost previous homework sheets, leading to time spent redoing old work instead of progressing ("lost previous homework sheet so had to spend lesson going through it again").

In Year 10 maths, messy formatting and unclear working made it harder for her to track sign changes in algebra—extra time was wasted untangling errors.

Meanwhile, a senior student did not complete several assigned homework tasks and missed opportunities to clarify misunderstandings in graphing. Each missed or incomplete task meant less confidence tackling new concepts the following week.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Caravonica noticed a big shift with one high school student, who started bringing her own revision work and questions to sessions—something she hadn't done before—which meant she could focus on the trickier fraction problems that used to trip her up.

Another older student recently made a breakthrough after struggling with tree diagrams: once they worked through examples together, she managed to finish an entire worksheet solo and applied the method to more complex cases.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who previously hesitated to ask for help now openly checks her answers aloud during subtraction tasks instead of guessing quietly.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Diana is terrific.  She's on time, very patient and Declan feels he is now understanding the basic concepts.  It will take time but Diana will get there with Dec

At this stage we are very happy. Nick likes Tharaka and his overall attitude to maths has changed. He is quite happy to give things a go. His confidence is building.

Suparna is lovely and very patient and Sitota is very happy with her. I think it will take a good few months before we see any progress with Sitota considering her learning difficulties. All positive and we are moving forward though

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 Cairns Libraries—or at your child's school (with permission), like Caravonica State School.
