Inside MarmionTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 Paige focused on converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages, as well as practicing multiplying with decimals using test questions for extra reinforcement.

Year 9 Benji worked through all key algebra skills for his upcoming test and spent time mastering equations of linear graphs by tackling a comprehensive study booklet.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Paige revisited challenging finance questions from a recent test and practiced applying clear steps to similar exam-style problems to boost confidence for future assessments.

Recent Challenges

Missed two consecutive homework assignments on midpoints and correlation, which limited their readiness for lesson activities ("Did not do homework set").

In Year 11, a student avoided writing out equations fully during algebra tasks, making it difficult to spot and fix calculation errors.

For one Year 10 trigonometry topic, overconfidence meant "he believes that he is OK" despite an exam result of just 33%, so gaps went unaddressed until the test.

In primary years, messy or incomplete working was noted in fraction simplification, sometimes causing confusion when revisiting problems later.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Marmion recently saw a Year 10 student who had previously been anxious about index laws, but after working through each rule, he completed all the practice questions without making his usual mistakes.

In a senior high school session, another student surprised himself by quickly adapting to new types of graphs and data; where he once hesitated with interpreting features of parabolas, he now describes them confidently and solves factorising problems more smoothly.

Meanwhile, during a primary session, one student was initially hesitant with long division but persisted and managed to complete several sums independently before the lesson ended.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Carl has enjoyed working with both his tutors this year and is well prepared for his VCE math methods exams. Having a personal tutor, even for a student like Carl who is already achieving excellent academic results, has helped relieve some of the stress of VCE and enabled him to sort out areas he wanted to work on with more depth.

Bailey is really happy with Jackie, and so are we, he enjoys their sessions and I can see he is understanding much better.  Jackie is very courteous and punctual.

Awesome feedback from Jessica about Emily's progress. Much better than previous tutoring agency.

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 Duncraig Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Marmion Primary School.
