Inside McLeods ShootTutoring 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
James has got off to a good start-in his first test this week, he got 91% in his specialist exam. Â Matthew is able to work through all the challenging questions with James and ensure that he understands the theory behind the maths. Â I definitely feel that James has commenced Semester 2 with a more positive approach to Specialist Maths and I look forward to seeing improved results.
We are more than pleased with Kai's maths progress. I can tell that Ben is such a good tutor because he had described Kai exactly in his report. All Kai's school teachers throughout his school years have wanted Kai to speak up in class. Kai isn't shy when he's relaxed and comfortable, it's just in those environments I guess he's quieter. I hope he gets the confidence to speak up soon and I think with Ben he will and I am looking forward to the tips he can give to Kai.
Really happy with the tutoring and Stephen is great, really professional. My son is feeling a lot more positive about catching up so really happy.
