Inside CobakiTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Willow focused on adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions as well as simplifying them through step-by-step written problems.

For Year 9, Jeremy reviewed Pythagoras' theorem and tackled measurement and geometry questions using practice exams to prepare for his semester assessment.

Meanwhile, Year 8 Mia explored algebra basics such as expanding brackets and solving equations with worksheets tailored to her new general maths class.

Recent Challenges

In Year 12 exam preparation, one student focused on revising the basics across all curriculum areas but "wasn't prepared for the in-depth exam questions," leaving them uncertain during harder tasks.

A Year 9 algebra session revealed a habit of skipping feedback: despite encouragement to "show others her work," written solutions stayed private, so persistent errors went uncorrected.

In Year 7 English, another student's PowerPoint draft was left with formatting and spelling issues; editing was overlooked before submission.

Meanwhile, a primary student struggled to complete area calculations simply because paper was forgotten—so no working could be shown or checked that lesson.

Recent Achievements

One Cobaki tutoring session saw a high school student, Jeremy, move from hesitating with trigonometry to confidently tackling exam questions—he now attempts problems independently and only asks for help after giving it a real try.

Another tutor noted Willow's shift: where she once needed reminders about fraction methods, she now converts and compares fractions on her own, showing much more initiative during lessons.

In Year 6 English, Bella used to skip re-reading her writing but is now actively checking her sentences for grammar mistakes before finishing tasks; last week, she proofread her paragraph herself and made corrections without prompting.

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 Elanora Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Bilambil Public School.
