Inside GemmellsTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
In primary, tutoring often targets core arithmetic—addition, subtraction, times tables, fractions, and building number sense—while also pushing for deeper comprehension, not just rote rules. High school sessions shift to algebraic thinking, graphing, interpreting questions, and developing strong exam strategies. There’s a big emphasis on breaking down word problems, revisiting tricky homework, and test prep for NAPLAN or semester exams, always tailored to what each student finds hardest right now.
Recent Challenges
Some primary students rush through comprehension or maths tasks without fully reading instructions, leading to incomplete or off-target answers. In high school, it’s common for students to have scattered or unclear working, which makes multi-step problems harder to check and fix. Other frequent hurdles include forgetting materials, leaving homework unfinished, or spending revision time catching up on missed basics instead of moving forward—all of which can hold back progress and lead to confusion.
Recent Achievements
Tutors are noticing students becoming more proactive during lessons—regularly checking their own work, spotting errors, and making corrections without being asked. There’s a clear shift toward students verbalising their steps in maths and explaining their reasoning aloud, rather than rushing through problems. Tutors also report that learners are reviewing their test results with more care and taking the initiative to improve, showing greater confidence and ownership of their progress.
What they say about our tutoring
Your company is fantastic and I was very grateful for the tutorage and progress Kristin made. I will definitely recommend your services to others. Kristin has in fact improved so much that she is now quite solid in math and has a better understanding and better discipline.
Tavishi is going extremely well with all 3 kids, she is very positive and the kids all like her and find her easy to learn from.
They are all keen to see her each week so.
She is able to explain things in a varied manner so the kids always understand in the end if they didn't in the start.
Her manner and ability to work with 3 very different children is wonderful.
She is happy, smiling, polite, prompt, mature and has been a great addition to our afternoons.
I would have no hesitations in recommending her to anyone and have done to a few friends already.
Tutor Stephen is a very good tutor and we would like to give him our highest recommendation for a job well done. We would recommend him to any parent who wants their child to improve in Math. Thank you for all your help Stephen and Ezy Math Tutoring.
