A tutor was arranged within days of contacting the service. Our tutor is a perfect match for our child. After one session they felt more confident with their maths! Thank youSarah McGregor, Carnegie
Year 7 student Lucas worked on measurement conversions between units and explored different types of angles using visual examples.
In Year 9, Sarah practised expanding and simplifying algebraic equations to solve for "x," along with adding terms involving variables and numbers.
Meanwhile, Year 10 student Aiden focused on quadratic equations—both solving them and reviewing their graphical representations as parabolas—in preparation for an upcoming quiz.
Homework was incomplete for a Year 7 student, which limited progress in consolidating division and multiplication skills—one lesson note simply read, "Homework was incomplete."
In Year 9 algebra, confusion with equation signs persisted when working through substitution tasks; as one tutor observed, "Alex is slightly confused by the sign while substituting value in the equation," leading to repeated errors during practice.
A senior student tackling probability scenarios sometimes hesitated to start multi-step problems, pausing at worded questions and requiring extra prompts to extract relevant information before attempting solutions. This often meant less time spent on building fluency and confidence within sessions.
One Carnegie tutor noticed a big change in a Year 10 student who used to hesitate with matrix multiplication; after revisiting earlier lessons, she now attempts the harder two-matrix problems without waiting for help.
Another high school student has gone from struggling with algebraic manipulation to quickly solving for unknowns—her speed and accuracy have noticeably improved during problem sets.
In primary, one learner who often guessed answers now takes time to double-check fractions before responding out loud. Last session, he completed every question on his own and asked for an extra challenge at the end.
Everybody knows that Maths is supposed to be difficult. It requires thinking in a logical and structured manner and those worded problems, they're super hard! The thing is that it's all about having the right approach. Every student learns best in their own specific way but at school there is a one-size-fits-all approach. Some students fall behind, others just can't seem to achieve the success they want. What's the remedy? Private 1-on-1 home tutoring is certainly one workable solution. It's a tailored approach that you can customize to your specific needs whatever they may be.
