Year 8 student Alex worked through index laws and practiced expanding and factorising algebraic expressions, using a mix of textbook problems and quick-fire drills.
For Year 9, Sam focused on rearranging algebraic formulas to make a pronumeral the subject, then substituted values into these to evaluate results, including some extension questions involving cross-multiplication.
Meanwhile, Year 10 student Emily tackled financial mathematics topics like simple interest calculations and also revisited linear relationships from earlier in the term for consolidation.
In Year 10 Maths, a student repeatedly relied on reminders for each step in multi-stage problems, as one tutor noted: "I was constantly reminding him of small things." This dependence slowed progress when tackling unfamiliar algebra and worded questions.
Meanwhile, a Year 7 student's messy written work in mental multiplication and inconsistent handwriting sometimes led to confusion when checking answers.
In senior assignments, another student delayed acting on teacher feedback, resulting in unfinished drafts and missed opportunities to improve essays before deadlines.
During primary maths sessions, drifting focus meant larger calculations were often abandoned halfway through, leaving gaps in understanding.
One Carina tutor saw a Year 10 student make a big leap in independence: after weeks of double-checking every step, he finally worked through all his linear equation questions solo, only asking for help when genuinely unsure.
A Year 8 girl who used to freeze on tricky worded maths problems now confidently breaks them down herself—she recently identified the right units and showed every step of her working, which is new for her.
Meanwhile, a younger primary student surprised his tutor by reading an entire passage aloud with barely any hesitation after struggling with this just two sessions ago.
Getting through 12 grades of school has its challenges. From actually passing exams to building intellectual independence to figuring out what to do after high school's over. Everyone can remember some of the hurdles that came up during the school years of their life. We have 60 English tutors in Carina available to help your child overcome some of those hurdles. Private tutoring is all about a tailored approach, so whether your child needs to overcome some confidence issues, develop a study plan, prepare for exams or comprehend some specific trouble topics, we're here to help. And, what helps the most is having a good student-tutor fit, it's really a core ingredient that determines whether tutoring will help your child in the way you want.
So how does it all work?
The tutoring is done in your home at a time and day that is convenient. We want you to be super happy with your English tutor so the first lesson works as a trial: don't like it = don't pay for it. No extra charges, booking costs, cancellation fees, minimum requirements or anything of that sort. Pay for the tutoring time used at the end of each month based on a simple hourly rate. That's all!
