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

Yes, we are very pleased that Sophia likes Rebecca and the tutoring seems to be going well. Rebecca obviously has patience and takes the time to explain things so Sophia can follow them and work through the maths, which is exactly what we wanted. The problem with the school is they move along so fast that there is not enough practice time, and we (the parents) are not familiar with what they teach so we can't just help out quickly; we have to re-learn it ourselves first, and then we're probably not good at explaining clearly. That's why it is great having Rebecca who can obviously explain things in a way Sophia understands. The main thing is that Sophia sees herself as '˜no good at maths', but when something is explained so she understands it, she is very pleased when she can get the right answers. A lot of it is a confidence thing I think, and also her school maths teacher has been quite negative about her work; so hopefully the tutoring will rebuild some of Sophia's general confidence over time, which would be great. Sophia will never be a star at maths, but if she can just get passes instead of always negative marks and comments from school, we will be quite happy with that. Sophia is very good at English/Hums and art; maths is her weak area, and we are very pleased (and actually surprised) that she is sitting through an hour of maths tutoring each week without complaint. We did not know how it would go; we tried one other tutor a few months ago , a retired male maths teacher - and she hated it. So this time we are very happy.

So far so good with Tim. Tim is now tutoring both my kids and both are really happy with him. Results will show in the months to come. It is early days but we are very happy so far.

Michael has really enjoyed having Raj come as his tutor.  In fact he also managed to get 80% on his last algebra test at school.  It has really empowered him to want to do well in maths and he looks forward to his tutoring session each week. We look forward to seeing him continue on his maths journey throughout the year. Many thanks Ps. I have referred a few of my friends onto your website as their kids were having difficulty too!!!

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.
