Teaching problem solving skills to students. The reason, is that problem solving skills could be useful not only to subjects outside of mathematics.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student would be trying different methods to help their student learn. Sticking to the same structure when it comes to learning doesn’t work for everybody and different students learn in their own unique way.

I think the most important thing a tutor might do for a student is being open to change as well as being approachable for potential questions. In terms of being open to change, different students may require different methods in order to best suit their needs in being able to fully understand a topic they are struggling with. As well as this,…

Inside KarnupTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Noah worked on analysing visual symbolism in picture books and practiced identifying and explaining different types of symbolism for his English assessment.

In Year 10, Sophie revised trigonometric identities and worked through the unit circle, as well as reviewing key concepts from her recent Trig test.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Liam focused on probability using Venn diagrams and two-way tables, then practiced interpreting statistical data sets.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 English, run-on sentences and inconsistent paragraphing—especially during dialogue—made creative writing hard to follow. As one tutor observed, "He often didn't break paragraphs when a new person spoke."

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student in essay-based subjects struggled to expand analysis points and set an effective tone; missing introductory sentences sometimes left arguments feeling unfinished under exam pressure.

In Year 7 Maths, skipping careful attention to decimal places caused errors that could have been avoided with slower checking.

A senior student preparing trigonometric identities relied heavily on memorised shortcuts, leading to mistakes in simplifying sin²θ + cos²θ = 1.

Recent Achievements

One Karnup tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who used to freeze up on analysis essays; this term, he independently explained symbolism in both images and text, giving detailed examples without prompting.

Another high schooler who'd struggled to organise assignments now checks his assessment calendar at the start of each session and maps out tasks, instead of missing deadlines.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student—previously making small mistakes in trig—recently worked through sine and cosine wave problems using the unit circle methodically and only needed reminders for accuracy.

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 Lakelands Library and Community Centre—or at your child's school (with permission), like Comet Bay Primary School.
