The tutoring processes between Kajal and Jacob are going well so far. Today is their 3rd session, and Jacob tells me that Kajal's teaching method is jelling well with him.

Inside EurekaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Greta worked on algebra basics including solving simple linear equations for x and using reverse BODMAS, along with revising negative numbers and reading comprehension through discussion of symbolism in The Graveyard Book.

Year 9 student Maya focused on trigonometry by labelling sides in right-angled triangles, writing sine, cosine, and tangent ratios, and rearranging equations to solve for unknowns using a calculator.

For Year 11, Sam practiced simplifying exponents and solving algebraic equations from previous test material to build confidence with indices and equation manipulation.

Recent Challenges

In Year 4 maths, a student relied heavily on drawing shapes for fraction problems; as a tutor noted, "visual representations helped now but became less reliable with complex denominators."

In Year 9, forgetting to double-check working during algebra led to sign errors and dented confidence.

A Year 11 student struggled to apply the cosine rule correctly because the required angle's position wasn't identified—misunderstanding when rules could be used.

For VCE Maths Methods, incomplete or unclear written steps in rationalising surds meant time was lost fixing arithmetic slips rather than learning new concepts.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Eureka noticed one Year 9 student who previously hesitated to ask for help with algebra now speaks up as soon as she's stuck, leading to her solving multi-step equations more independently.

Another high schooler made a breakthrough using BODMAS "shells" to organise complex order-of-operations problems—he finished the session feeling calm about all test topics, a big change from earlier stress.

In primary, a student who used to avoid reading aloud volunteered to read a poem expressively after enjoying character voices together, then chose to tackle the next maths word problem on her own.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I would like to say that at this stage things are going very well, Gabriela is very confident and he has cleared up a lot of questions for her. She is very happy.

Very happy with Jason's tutelage.  Anna understands him and they work well together. Thanks for the connection!

Holly enjoyed her lessons with Jennifer as she was VERY patient and simplified the tasks, so that Holly could gain a better concept of the task at hand.

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 Ballarat Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Alipius' Parish School.
