Not only help them with understanding the concepts they are struggling with, but to also teach them problem solving methods so that they can be independent in the future. I've always struggled with conventional learning techniques utilised by teachers (and even my lecturers now), and I've had to develop my own intuitions to the concepts that they…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is put himself in the student's shoes, analyse his situation and figure out his strengths and weaknesses and thus solve his queries by asking more questions and getting the answer out of the student himself rather than spoonfeeding him.

Inside KarawathaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

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.

Recent Challenges

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.

Recent Achievements

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.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Lauren seems to be going well and most importantly is engaging with Steph and feeling better about Maths in general. We are very happy with Steph so far. She is a lovely girl who is always punctual and the communication between us is excellent. And I think Lauren looks forward to her sessions with Steph, which can only be a positive!

She has been SUPER professional. I would recommend her without hesitation. She is responsible, has made a connection with my son, has communicated with me and kept me informed all the time. She is a great asset. We look forward to working with her in the future.

Local Spots for Tutoring
