In primary, tutoring often targets core arithmeticāaddition, subtraction, times tables, fractions, and building number senseāwhile also pushing for deeper comprehension, not just rote rules. High school sessions shift to algebraic thinking, graphing, interpreting questions, and developing strong exam strategies. Thereās 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, itās 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 forwardāall of which can hold back progress and lead to confusion.
Recent Achievements
Tutors are noticing students becoming more proactive during lessonsāregularly checking their own work, spotting errors, and making corrections without being asked. Thereās 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
Thank you for your email received today.
I am very pleased to report that we are very impressed with Minh and his approach to tutoring our son.
Minh is a very responsible and passionate teacher, we feel his enthusiasm will promote Elijah-Taye to the required level in a reasonable time frame.
Thank you for your follow up.Ā Ty is progressing well and we are all happy with the way things are going (mum, dad and Ty).Ā Apart from the normal issues, that sometimes he just 'doesn't feel like it'Ā at the beginning of the session, he enjoys the tutoring and is gaining benefits already.Ā Though Ty has always had quite a good understanding of Maths, the idea of tutoring was to keep him at his best.Ā He was complaining of not understanding his teacher this year, so the different ways of thinking and and ways of teaching are definitely helping.
I am happy with Sheetal and his dedication to his tutoring, even ringing Ty to check his progress before an assessment.Ā This is not something that I was expecting, but is a welcome addition as I see it helping Ty keep focused as well.
Thanks for the email. We are very happy with Lisa. She is bright and keen and has established a very easy rapport with Xiao. Xiao actually really likes her. We feel very confident that Xiao will continue to make progress with her maths.
