Inside Cottage PointTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Charlie worked on multiplying and dividing fractions, as well as strategies for converting between improper fractions and mixed numbers.

For Year 8, Jess focused on scientific notation and significant figures, tackling practice problems to strengthen her accuracy with large and small numbers.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ryan completed work on annuities and loan repayments in financial mathematics, calculating future values using formulas relevant to real-life finance scenarios.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student often skipped writing out working in algebra and surds, which cost marks on recent tests—"full pages with no working in his latest tests and lost a lot of marks there."

In Year 11 Financial Maths, a student relied heavily on calculator methods for frequency tables but hadn't memorised the key formulas, so struggled to choose between the BAC and 'hours to wait' formulas under test pressure.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 learner frequently missed critical question details when calculating discounts or reading word problems, leading to incomplete answers even after correct calculations.

Recent Achievements

A Cottage Point tutor recently noticed a Year 10 student who used to mix up compound and simple interest formulas is now confidently choosing the right one for each question, even adjusting for monthly or quarterly compounding without prompts.

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student has gone from needing step-by-step help with network diagrams to drawing them independently and accurately, even explaining how loops count as just one edge.

On the primary side, one Year 4 student who hesitated over improper fractions can now convert them to mixed numbers at speed, handling new questions on her own.

What they say about our tutoring

Thanks for your email.  Our decision to discontinue the tutoring was not due to any dissatisfaction - quite the opposite.  My daughter only had a few sessions with her tutor, and in that time gained a huge amount of confidence in her abilities.  The tutor was able to reassure her that she wasn't as bad at maths as she believed.  This new-found confidence enabled my daughter to discuss openly with her teacher the difficulties she was having, and get some extra help at school.  Since then, she has performed markedly better in her assignments and tests. Natasha is an excellent tutor and I would highly recommend your company to anyone experiencing difficulty with Maths. Thanks for the follow up and for all your help.

Douglas was great & Liam responded well with him - But the school have always had in house tutoring that Liam was uncomfortable attending - But with Douglas's input he now feels confident to go and take that path. As I pay School fees this makes more sense than another outlay on top.  He is making great progress and all is well.

Just wanted to let you know that Mark seems like a good match for Nik. He really likes him and had a really successful first session. Thanks for your support and assistance in finding him!

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 Berowra Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Cowan Public School.
