I can make adjustments when certain approaches aren’t effective and, I'm not someone who will leave mid-conversation as soon as my time is up, I'm a…

Inside GirraweenTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Joseph worked on place value and rounding numbers, as well as identifying prime and composite numbers using hands-on number exercises.

Year 8 student Rory tackled linear relationships by exploring the y = mx + c form and practiced solving algebraic equations with substitution.

For Year 10, Nancy focused on financial maths concepts including simple interest calculations and was introduced to compound interest problems through step-by-step examples.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 algebra, one student often copied notes quickly and "would miss a sign or two because he go past too fast," leading to errors in factorising tasks and missed steps in quadratic problems.

In upper primary mathematics, another student repeatedly defaulted to using algorithms for multiplication rather than trying mental strategies, slowing progress on multi-step questions and making it harder to spot mistakes—especially when asked to convert mixed numbers or simplify fractions.

During NAPLAN practice, incomplete written working meant key problem-solving steps were forgotten, causing avoidable confusion and extra time spent re-reading questions instead of moving forward confidently.

Recent Achievements

A Girraween tutor recently noticed a Year 9 student who previously hesitated to ask questions is now openly requesting help with tricky algebra steps, instead of quietly guessing—especially during lessons on factorising quadratics.

Another high schooler made a leap in Maths: after weeks of uncertainty, she managed to self-correct her mistakes when converting improper fractions to mixed numbers, even explaining her thinking aloud for the first time.

In a primary session, one student surprised his tutor by identifying and pronouncing words correctly while reading aloud—a marked change from earlier reluctance to attempt unfamiliar vocabulary.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I would like to say that Sultan was a fantastic tutor for Daniel and I feel sad to have to end the tutoring with him. In the short time that he was tutoring Daniel, Daniel learnt a lot in maths. Could you please let Sultan know and please let him know how happy I was with him as a tutor for Daniel.

Vibhuti has been good so far, very nice and punctual. My daughter seems to get along with her well and I imagine they will get more productive as the time passes.

So far, so good with Jie tutoring Charlie. Jie is professional, organised, and has warm and friendly nature.

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 Constitution Hill Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Girraween Public School.
