Inside HorsleyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Cailyn worked on simplifying algebraic expressions and operations with fractions, including combining like terms.

In Year 9, Daniel focused on applying Pythagoras' theorem to word problems and reviewing financial mathematics topics such as taxes and simple interest.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Nicholas tackled right-angled triangle trigonometry (SOHCAHTOA) and practiced solving non-right-angled triangle problems using the sine rule.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9, one student "kept most of the working in her head," which made it difficult to spot errors with negative signs and slowed her progress in linear equations.

In a Year 11 session, calculator use sometimes led to swapped values—putting a positive where a negative was needed—resulting in incorrect answers for graphing tasks.

A Year 7 student struggled to recall basic multiplication facts without referring back to notes, leading to frustration and frequent restarts during algebra practice.

When asked to read questions aloud or write out steps, another resisted, which left gaps in understanding multi-step word problems.

Recent Achievements

One Horsley tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 9 student who previously hesitated to attempt challenging algebra but now independently reviews her notes and requests extra practice problems when unsure.

In a recent high school maths session, another student who often rushed through tasks has started carefully organising his work and double-checking answers for accuracy, showing new attention to detail that wasn't there before.

Meanwhile, a primary student who used to find subtraction daunting now tackles multi-step questions with persistence, recently solving a tricky problem independently without giving up or asking for immediate help.

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 Dapto District Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Dapto Public School.
