Inside NewsteadTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Emily worked on mean, median, and mode for large data sets as well as converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages.

In Year 10, Max tackled logarithmic function evaluation and manipulation alongside practice with trigonometric identities using diagrams.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student focused on applying the product and quotient rules for derivatives to exponentials and explored optimisation problems involving stationary points and their nature.

Recent Challenges

In senior maths, several students struggled to begin unfamiliar worded problems—one Year 12 student "didn't know where to start" with complex exponentials and vectors, leading to stalled working and loss of confidence.

Another found it difficult forming the initial equation for optimisation questions, hesitating over which values to use or how to construct a triangle diagram.

In Year 8 algebra, small calculation slips (such as reversing digits or swapping x/y in slope formulae) appeared when students didn't write out each step, making errors harder to spot.

When this happened during timed revision, accuracy dropped and test marks suffered.

Recent Achievements

One Newstead tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who used to freeze when faced with worded problem-solving questions—now she confidently talks through her strategy aloud before writing, showing much more initiative than last term.

In a recent high school session, a Year 11 student who once doubted her trig skills surprised herself by not only recalling the chain rule after three tries but then independently spotting and correcting errors during revision.

Meanwhile, a primary student made progress by regularly asking for help instead of guessing when stuck, finishing all assigned maths tasks without reminders.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

My daughter Jasmine has been tutored by Thomas Ban in maths for the past few years. She recently was accepted into the gifted and talented class for year 7 at Stella Maris and also received an "Outstanding" grade (highest grade possible) for Maths this year. We just wanted to thank Thomas Ban for the wonderful work he has done with Jasmine this year. We feel that she has received these grades due to Thomas tutoring. He has challenged and pushed her to work harder and improve her maths. He is also extremely professional and courteous.

Aryo is very happy with Brittany and looking forward to see her which is a good start !

I am confident that Mandeep's approach is just what Hugo and Havier need to lift their confidence and capabilities to be the best they can be.

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 Bulimba Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Fortitude Valley State Secondary College.
