Inside Montagu BayTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 Scarlett focused on identifying Greek and Latin roots in vocabulary and practiced applying prefixes and suffixes, then moved to activities around correct punctuation usage such as commas and hyphens.

Year 12 Aimee revised key Organic Chemistry concepts using practice SAC questions and worked through stoichiometry problems including mole-mass conversions.

Charli, also in Year 12, reviewed the adaptive immune system by tackling relevant exam-style questions before recapping principles of CRISPR-Cas9 gene technology from earlier units.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Chemistry, Aimee sometimes became overwhelmed by complex questions and "overcomplicated the nature of some questions," as one tutor noted, leading her to miss essential details or skip applying key rules like labeling units.

In Year 7 English, Scarlett often hesitated to start writing due to doubt about her ideas, which stalled progress on tasks such as memoirs and creative stories.

Meanwhile, Cameron's punctuation work in Year 5 was hampered by frequent spelling and grammatical errors that remained uncorrected in drafts. These moments slowed confidence building and made editing or revising more challenging during sessions.

Recent Achievements

One Montagu Bay tutor recently noticed Aimee openly asking for clarification on challenging topics—whereas she used to keep quiet when unsure. This new habit has led her to tackle complex equilibrium and stoichiometry questions more independently, even attempting problems before they're covered at school.

Meanwhile, Charli in Year 11 Biology demonstrated a shift by proactively highlighting her weaker areas during sessions and using diagrams and notes to work through tough concepts—something she hadn't done previously.

In a middle school English session, Cameron confidently answered every adverb question correctly after struggling with this last term and then drafted a creative short story using their own ideas.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

He's here now, drinking miso and walking Em through Pythagoras (poor sole). It's all good.  She appreciates this time and enjoys his learning insights so that's a winner.

Emma and I are very happy with Philip as a tutor.  All is going very well.  Phil seems very reliable and conscientious and offers appropriate support but allows Emma to work the problems herself which she appreciates.

So far all is going well , Andrew is fantastic and easy to communicate with. We have had three sessions so far and this term he will be working on the next unit of work rather than just exam revision.

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 State Library of Tasmania—or at your child's school (with permission), like Montagu Bay Primary School.
