The most important thing a tutor must do for a student is listening. To me, there's a big difference between listening and hearing someone. Hearing is simply the ability to use your ears.

Local Reviews

We had Claire coming in to give tutoring to our daughter last Friday. It went very well and we were very happy with the result.
William, Carina Heights

Inside Carina HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Jackson practised timestables for recall and worked on place value, also spending time improving handwriting.

In Year 9, Ella revised rearranging algebraic expressions to make a pronumeral the subject and substituted values into these expressions, extending briefly to cross multiplication.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Riley focused on financial mathematics topics, including compound interest and interpreting real-world scenarios from the next unit in line with QCAA guidelines.

Recent Challenges

Often distracted, rushing both handwriting and mental calculations; "he drifted in and out of concentration, had a lot of energy and needed to move his body a bit." This led to mixed-up numbers or missing steps during multiplication and division tasks.

In Year 10 science, not consistently reviewing feedback meant errors lingered in balancing chemical equations across sessions.

For a senior English student, incomplete drafts and delays seeking teacher comments slowed assignment progress—one note read: "Waiting on feedback for assignment."

When unfamiliar worded maths questions appeared (Year 9), hesitation set in until explicit prompting was given.

Recent Achievements

One Carina Heights tutor noticed a Year 10 student who, after typically second-guessing himself and relying on constant help, managed to complete several linear equations independently for the first time—he only checked in once before confidently working through unfamiliar problems alone.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student mastered mole conversions and demonstrated solid understanding of stoichiometry after struggling with these calculations last term.

For a younger learner, reading aloud was previously met with hesitation; now she tackles longer passages smoothly and even volunteers to read new sections without prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

At this point, we are happy with the way things are progressing. Ryan seems a bright and capable young man and Kirsten does feel the sessions are assisting her.

We have been very happy with Matthew and importantly, Xavier has worked well with Matthew and has found the tutoring beneficial.

Claire found Samir to be a great tutor - very knowledgeable, encouraging and helpful :-)

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 Carindale Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Whites Hill State College.
