A tutor should be able to help overcome challenges the student is facing in a manner that is comfortable for the student. Additionally, the tutor should set strategies and goals to ensure that challenge is overcome efficiently and nothing is forgotten. The tutor should also be an aid to the parents to ensure they are happy with progress. Overall,…

I think personalising the teaching approach for each student is very important as no student will learn and grasp concepts the same, so having the awareness to be able to adapt to different students is very important, which will in turn improve the students confidence and grades.

Local Reviews

Need help in year 12 mathematics
dainon Mitchell, Aberfoyle Park

Inside O'Halloran HillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Liam reviewed congruence and similar triangles, focusing on practice test questions to prepare for an upcoming assessment.

In Year 10, Emily worked through graphing linear equations and finding midpoints between two points, using coordinate geometry problems to reinforce understanding before a test.

For Year 12, Jack explored the Central Limit Theorem and confidence intervals, comparing how different confidence levels impact interval width and the likelihood of Type I errors.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student struggled to recall exponent rules during assignments, leading to hesitation and confusion about which step to take next ("sometimes confused by which step to take, as there can be multiple options").

In Year 11, one student was missing their 'mini-theorems' book before a test—without it, key processes were harder to review and apply.

Another in Year 12 often hesitated when interpreting worded problems into algebraic form; this slowed progress on cost function questions.

For one Year 10 student, working with large text blocks made extracting relevant information tricky—time was lost re-reading instead of solving.

Recent Achievements

One O'Halloran Hill tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 9 student's approach to algebra: after weeks of hesitating over expanding brackets, she independently completed several binomial expressions without prompting.

In a recent high school session, a Year 11 student who previously avoided asking for help began pausing to clarify function notation questions rather than guessing—this new habit led to her correctly distinguishing between functions and relations on her own.

Meanwhile, a primary student made the connection between fractions, decimals, and percentages for the first time and confidently explained how they relate during practice problems.

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 Hallett Cove Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Braeview School.
