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 Jollys LookoutTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Emily focused on trigonometry and Pythagoras' Theorem, using diagrams to solve right-angled triangle problems.

In Year 10, Josh worked through linear equations and practiced rearranging formulas, then applied these skills to real-world scenarios involving rates and speed-distance-time calculations.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Zoe tackled finding the area and perimeter of shapes as well as reading time and solving word problems about elapsed time.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student working on index laws sometimes relied heavily on written notes, rather than attempting simplification independently; she kept double-checking the formula instead of trying to recall it.

In a Year 8 geometry session, messy diagram annotations led to confusion when splitting complex shapes—unclear labels slowed progress and created repeated second-guessing.

During a Year 6 lesson on time calculations, forgetting to bring previous worksheets meant valuable revision opportunities were missed.

Meanwhile, in senior Maths Methods, one student hesitated to use feedback from past questions about rearranging equations, so similar errors reappeared in their latest test.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Jollys Lookout noticed a Year 10 student who used to guess at worded rate problems now confidently breaks them down, correctly converting units and pinpointing the best value—something that was tricky for him last term.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student, who often hesitated with graphs, recently drew a conversion graph independently and explained how to predict values from it.

At primary level, one student shifted from confusion about reading clocks to accurately telling time in both "minutes past" and standard formats without prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Hayden is really gelling with Rohan and after last weeks session he said “best hour I've spent all week”! So far so good. Rohan has turned up on time and is so organised and professional. All going really well.

The tutor you sent me on Sat is absolutely excellent. Pls don't change Mina. My kids feel really comfortable with her and finally we feel we have a winning formula.

It's got off to a great start, Beaux really likes Taran and she likes the way Taran explains things and shows her new ways of working things out. Taran has boosted her confidence and Beaux is actually able to do a lot more than we thought.

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.
