Inside Mount RumneyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Scarlett focused on identifying Greek and Latin roots in words, using them in context, and practiced editing sentences for correct use of prefixes and suffixes.

In Year 12 Chemistry, Aimee tackled mole-mass and mass-mole conversions within stoichiometry questions and revised organic chemistry concepts ahead of an upcoming SAC by reviewing practice exam responses.

Charli, also in Year 12, consolidated her understanding of the adaptive immune system by answering targeted exam-style questions and reviewed the principles of CRISPR-Cas9 gene technology through guided revision activities.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student working on chemistry repeatedly avoided writing out full calculations, which led to missing units and errors—"I advised her to essentially spell out her workings so she can avoid mistakes."

Meanwhile, a Year 8 English student hesitated to start personal writing tasks, doubting her own ideas; this meant the task stalled until encouragement was given.

In VCE Biology, one student only practiced familiar material for revision and didn't regularly attempt challenging past exam questions. This pattern resulted in limited confidence when unfamiliar content appeared during assessments.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Mount Rumney recently noticed Aimee, a high school student, making real strides in Chemistry—she independently tackled equilibrium questions she'd struggled with before and openly flagged topics for extra focus instead of guessing.

Charli, also in high school, has started drawing diagrams from memory to test her grasp of biology concepts without relying on notes, a big step up from her previous approach.

Meanwhile, Cameron (Year 7) showed new independence by drafting creative writing pieces and then accepting feedback to improve punctuation, even bringing work from home to apply session learnings directly.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Shengyang is an awesome tutor. He explains the methods really well and makes sure i understand everything before i proceed to the next question. I have improved in my maths since he has been tutoring me.

Oliver is a lovely young man, he and Cameron are working well together. He seems to be a bit more confident already.

James is great and Orion is already finding such a difference with school. He is really enjoying his time with tutoring and is understanding what he hadn't understood.

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 Cambridge Primary School.
