Inside KoongalTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
In primary, tutoring often targets core arithmetic—addition, subtraction, times tables, fractions, and building number sense—while also pushing for deeper comprehension, not just rote rules. High school sessions shift to algebraic thinking, graphing, interpreting questions, and developing strong exam strategies. There’s a big emphasis on breaking down word problems, revisiting tricky homework, and test prep for NAPLAN or semester exams, always tailored to what each student finds hardest right now.
Recent Challenges
Some primary students rush through comprehension or maths tasks without fully reading instructions, leading to incomplete or off-target answers. In high school, it’s common for students to have scattered or unclear working, which makes multi-step problems harder to check and fix. Other frequent hurdles include forgetting materials, leaving homework unfinished, or spending revision time catching up on missed basics instead of moving forward—all of which can hold back progress and lead to confusion.
Recent Achievements
Tutors are noticing students becoming more proactive during lessons—regularly checking their own work, spotting errors, and making corrections without being asked. There’s a clear shift toward students verbalising their steps in maths and explaining their reasoning aloud, rather than rushing through problems. Tutors also report that learners are reviewing their test results with more care and taking the initiative to improve, showing greater confidence and ownership of their progress.
What they say about our tutoring
Hi Erica,
Thanks for the follow up email. Â Currently I am offshore and will be back in Perth around the 19th.
I am sure Alex is going well, however time will tell. Â Louise and Myself are happy with Safire.
We have got off to a great start with Devina. Aiden has really enjoyed the sessions so far and finds Devina explains everything extremely well, actually much better than his teacher at school. We are making really good progress and even after such a short time Aiden has gained so much more confidence with his maths, so many thanks for sending her our way.
Timothy is very happy with how things are going with Jerome. Â Tim feels like he is learning and is comfortable with Jerome who I have found to be a very polite young man. Â Tim has not had any tests or exams since he began tutoring, I'm sure we will see an improvement at that time.
