Ancient History Tutor Samford Valley, QLD
I believe that teaching students how to become a more independent learner is the most important thing that a tutor can do. As a tutor, it is important to help guide students through their work but not become a crutch that they rely too heavily upon. This way, students will be better equipped to handle the rest of their time at school. Helping…

Inside Mount NeboTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Daniel worked on solving linear equations and practiced expanding brackets to simplify expressions.

In Year 9, Olivia focused on using Pythagoras' Theorem for right-angled triangles and applying trigonometry to find unknown side lengths.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Zoe strengthened her understanding of finding the area and perimeter of shapes, along with reading and working with time using real-life word problems.

Recent Challenges

A Year 7 student hesitated to label axes correctly in data tasks, leading to confusion when placing frequency and variables ("putting frequency on the incorrect axis etc").

In Year 10, another often second-guessed herself while splitting complex shapes for area, slowing progress.

A senior student (Year 11) attempted bearings problems but relied heavily on notes rather than forming a method independently; "needed reminders each time to check which trig rule was appropriate."

Meanwhile, one primary student struggled with reading task instructions fully before starting—key information was missed, resulting in extra steps to revisit and clarify what was required.

Recent Achievements

One Mount Nebo tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to freeze at worded algebra problems now confidently extracts the key info and sketches diagrams before choosing which equation to use.

A Year 8 student who previously guessed through probability questions has started listing all possible outcomes systematically, even double-checking their sample space for missed cases—something they avoided before.

In primary sessions, a Year 4 learner who often struggled with fractions surprised their tutor by not only splitting number lines into equal parts but also explaining how they found the highest common factor when simplifying.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Rowena is lovely and Sam feels comfortable with her which is great as he is quite shy.

All is going really well with tutor Sam , he is excellent and very good with my son Dominic.

We believe if it wasn't for Stuart; Paige would not have achieved her most recent result.

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 Mount Nebo State School.
