Ancient History Tutor Samford Valley, QLD
I believe that teaching students how to become a more independent learner is the most important thing that a tutor can do. As a tutor, it is important to help guide students through their work but not become a crutch that they rely too heavily upon. This way, students will be better equipped to handle the rest of their time at school. Helping…

Inside HighvaleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Chloe worked on Pythagoras' Theorem and trigonometry, focusing on applying these concepts to right-angled triangles.

For Year 10, Ethan tackled quadratic equations and also practiced expanding brackets, both through step-by-step worked examples.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Ava revised time conversions (including zones) and solved word problems involving elapsed time using timelines for visual support.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often left homework incomplete, especially in tasks requiring conversion between decimals and fractions.

In Year 10, a student's algebra work became difficult to follow—notes described "working spread over the page with arrows everywhere," making it hard to trace steps when rearranging equations.

During a senior (Year 11) statistics session, another student only revised mean and median questions they already felt comfortable with, avoiding newer multi-step probability problems.

A Year 7 struggled with reading full word problems carefully; skipping key information led to missing necessary conversions in time zone calculations and surface area scenarios.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Highvale recently noticed a Year 10 student who had always relied on step-by-step guidance for expanding brackets now choosing the correct method independently and completing each stage without prompts.

In a Year 8 session, a student who previously rushed through area and volume questions began double-checking units and labelling sides accurately, resulting in fewer calculation errors.

Meanwhile, one of the younger students—previously hesitant to read time using "minutes past the hour"—has started confidently reading both formats out loud during practice, even volunteering to explain their reasoning for each clock shown.

Everything is going very well with Rory and Scott seems happy with how things are going. So no problems at all. Thanks for asking.

Jode is very happy with Lewis and has already experienced an improvement in his marks. I'm happy as Jode has increased confidence!

We are happy with Maree, she is a hands on tutor which seems to be working well with my daughter.

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 Arana Hills Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mount Nebo State School.
