Millie seems to be doing ok with the tutoring and has been surprisingly willing to do the homework over the holidays which is a great sign!

Inside Ferny CreekTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Daniel worked on multiplying larger numbers and using area and perimeter, then later focused on times tables fluency, fractions (including adding and simplifying), and reading coordinates on maps.

Year 8 student Vien tackled algebraic skills such as expanding and factorising expressions along with combining like terms, while also practicing substitution in algebraic evaluation.

For Year 10, Tanya revised linear relations—plotting graphs from equations—and strengthened understanding of the turning point form for parabolic graphs.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student, when revising algebra and indices, hesitated to use unfamiliar methods and often defaulted to memorized rules—"she still needs time to understand how to simplify surds," a tutor noted, which meant her written working was patchy and she skipped showing key steps.

In Year 10 English, one student rushed sentence construction during essay planning; as observed, "still needs to practice slowing down when constructing sentences."

Meanwhile, a senior maths student sometimes prioritized easier questions in revision sessions rather than tackling new graph types or exam-style problems, leaving complex applications less practiced by the end of each lesson.

Recent Achievements

One Ferny Creek tutor noticed a real shift in Marni, a Year 10 student who previously struggled to see her mistakes—she's now able to pinpoint exactly where she went wrong in linear algebra and self-corrects during lessons.

In another session, Sophia, also in high school, showed new consistency by working through increasingly tough equations with fewer errors and started double-checking her steps without prompting.

Meanwhile, Daniel in Year 5 has become much more willing to try challenging maths problems; last week he finished a set independently of multi-digit multiplication questions for the first time.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I am confident that Mandeep's approach is just what Hugo and Havier need to lift their confidence and capabilities to be the best they can be.

We really appreciated Arman‘s efforts and enthusiasm even when Aby was playing up. He is a wonderful teacher!

She is one of the finest tutors I have seen. Her consistency and persistent attitude towards the children growth makes her exceptional. Because of her, my niece developed confidence in all phases of education.

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 Belgrave Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Ferny Creek Primary School.
