My daughter has been tutored by Gabrielle for two months now. Having failed her previous Biology test, we decided she needed some help. Gabrielle quickly established a great rapport with my daughter, which was very important, as my daughter does lose track of things when she feels anxious or lost. Gabrielle recognised that my daughter needed help in report writing, and worked with her on that as well as Biology. My daughter made immediate improvement, and went on to ace her end of year Biology test. All credit goes to Gabrielle; I highly recommend her to anyone.Ben Sinclair
Year 5 student Milly worked on multiplying and dividing decimals (e.g., 0.3 x 0.05) as well as converting improper fractions to mixed numbers, often using homework tasks for practice.
Year 8 student Jasmine focused on interpreting stem-and-leaf plots and calculating mean, median, and mode, then moved on to comparing data sets using these measures of centre.
Meanwhile, Year 9 student Daniel tackled probability questions by expressing answers in both fraction and percentage forms and created number combinations to find specific probabilities.
Organisation and presentation habits emerged as key areas for improvement across both primary and secondary years.
In Year 9, "keeping all worksheets/information together in one book so it's easier to find and refer back to" was a challenge, with loose papers making revision less efficient.
A senior student faced difficulty accessing revision materials because her laptop was broken and her notes were scattered, leaving her unable to review effectively before assessments.
As one tutor observed after a missed homework submission in Year 10, "we only started today and were unable to get through all the revision sheet," highlighting how incomplete tasks limit targeted support during sessions.
One Norwell tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to rely on guessing is now confidently breaking down algebraic expressions step by step, double-checking her work without prompting.
Another recent high school win: after weeks of struggling with area and volume formulas, a Year 8 learner began recalling the right formula independently, even explaining her reasoning out loud as she solved practice problems.
Meanwhile, in primary sessions, a Year 4 student who previously rushed through multiplication now pauses to highlight keywords in worded questions and corrects her own mistakes before moving on.
Finding a suitable maths tutor for your child can be difficult. Where do you start? What do you look for? Experience? Personality? Someone local? Should they teach their own content or work on your child's current school work? How often should you have tutoring? How long should each session be? Is a particular time of the day more effective than other times?
So many questions, but, after years and years of experience, we can assure you there is no on-size-fits-all answer. Tuition is an individual matter. It's really about finding someone who is a good match for your specific situation. That means a good personality match + a teaching style that matches the student's learning style + a good balance between empathy and authoritativeness + many other things.
Unfortunately no tutor profile can tell you if the tutor will be a good match. You won't know that until you see them working together.
It usually doesn't take us more than a few days to organise a maths tutor in Norwell. And, we really want you to love your tutor! That's why your first lesson works as a trial. Don't think the match is good? We'll organise someone else...
