Year 5 student Priya worked on converting fractions to decimals and percentages, as well as adding fractions with both like and unlike denominators.
In Year 10, Emily reviewed chapters for her upcoming exam by graphing circles and exponentials, tackling quadratics, and solving simultaneous equations using log laws.
Meanwhile, Year 11 student Michael focused on financial maths—calculating compound interest, simple interest, and recurrence relations—to build readiness for external assessments.
In Year 4 maths, a student often jumped to answers in problem-solving rather than breaking questions into steps; as one tutor noted, "she sometimes jumps to the answer instead of trying to break it into steps," leading to repeated errors.
In Year 10 mathematics, another student's written work during Earth geometry problems lacked clear working and formula selection—this made it difficult for them to pinpoint where mistakes occurred or maximize marks.
A senior biology student was advised to spend more time reading studies in detail before writing responses, as rushing led to missed information and weaker arguments.
One Karawatha tutor noted that a Year 12 student who previously hesitated with financial math now independently works through multiple-choice problems, using question clues to guide her solutions.
In Year 10 science, another student—who used to stay quiet—has started actively clarifying doubts and summarising complex genetics concepts like nondisjunction in her own words.
Meanwhile, a younger learner who often guessed times tables is now confidently applying mental strategies and even self-attempting new patterns without prompting.
Most recently, the Year 12 student finished several practice questions solo near the end of the session for the first time.
Finding a suitable maths tutor for your child can be difficult. Where do you start? What do you look for? Experience? Personality? Someone local? Should they teach their own content or work on your child's current school work? How often should you have tutoring? How long should each session be? Is a particular time of the day more effective than other times?
So many questions, but, after years and years of experience, we can assure you there is no on-size-fits-all answer. Tuition is an individual matter. It's really about finding someone who is a good match for your specific situation. That means a good personality match + a teaching style that matches the student's learning style + a good balance between empathy and authoritativeness + many other things.
Unfortunately no tutor profile can tell you if the tutor will be a good match. You won't know that until you see them working together.
It usually doesn't take us more than a few days to organise a maths tutor in Karawatha. And, we really want you to love your tutor! That's why your first lesson works as a trial. Don't think the match is good? We'll organise someone else...
