Ancient History Tutor South Toowoomba, QLD
Allow students to build on previous knowledge and expand their knowledge in a fun way. I believe a tutor can scaffold learning for the student so that they can gain confidence from incremental learning tasks. Patience and I am able to adapt to any student's learning style. Also I am able to prepare learning experiences to match the learning style…

Inside Kearneys SpringTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Saanvi focused on algebra basics by practising exercises on opening brackets and word problems, alongside regular revision of multiplication tables to strengthen foundational skills.

In Year 10, Alex revised probability concepts with multi-step questions and tackled statistics tasks such as calculating mean, median, and mode using real data sets.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Sam worked through advanced financial maths topics including annuities and compound interest calculations, while also receiving guidance on his Maths Methods assignment structure.

Recent Challenges

Several students in both primary and high school displayed organizational challenges, particularly with incomplete or missing homework.

For example, a Year 9 student "had not done any of the homework assigned either," which left gaps when tackling new content.

In senior years, some struggled to structure assignments—one Year 11 learner needed guidance on using mark schemes for their first major project.

Across Years 4–10, messy written work and skipping steps were common: one student found it "hard to get him to write down every step for problems," leading to confusion when checking answers.

Fatigue after school often amplified these difficulties.

Recent Achievements

One Kearneys Spring tutoring session saw a Year 9 student, who previously rushed through homework with frequent errors, slow down and avoid mistakes during problem-solving.

A high school student in Year 11, after struggling with complex Chemistry concepts like electrolysis, was able to sort through those questions independently this week—something he hadn't managed before.

Another tutor noted that a Year 12 student who used to submit assignments without review is now actively seeking teacher feedback on his work and presenting well-organised data in his reports.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Jaz and Emily seem to be connecting well and we are happy with how things are progressing to date.

John has been an amazing tutor for my son. John restored my son's confidence in his ability to do maths and prepared him for Year 12 exams.I cannot recommend his work highly enough, as he did everything we asked of him and more.

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!

Local Spots for Tutoring

If you'd prefer not to have lessons at home, tutoring can also take place at a local library or at your child's school (with permission), like Highlands Christian College.
