Inside Old GuildfordTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ali practiced double-digit multiplication and division without remainders, and worked on converting fractions into decimals using number lines.

In Year 8, Sara focused on quadratic equations—factoring and solving for x—and reviewed how to convert lengthy word problems into solvable mathematical expressions.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student James revised divisibility rules (by 2, 3, 5, and 10) alongside work on factors and multiples through targeted practice questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 Mathematics, one student's exam performance was affected by panic under time pressure—"he rushed the questions and did not check over his work before submission"—leading to repeated calculation errors that went unnoticed.

In Year 4 English, another learner often gave up when faced with complex vocabulary or unfamiliar storylines; as noted, "once he hits a 'hard' question that isn't similar to others he gives up."

For both students, incomplete homework in several weeks made it difficult to identify which concepts truly needed review.

Missed opportunities for self-checking and communicating confusion led to persistent gaps in understanding.

Recent Achievements

One Old Guildford tutor noticed a big shift in Younas, a high school student who now speaks up right away about what he doesn't understand—previously, he'd hesitate or keep quiet, but lately he's been quick to communicate confusion and work through tough concepts like fractions and averages.

Another high schooler, after struggling with test mistakes, took the initiative to review each error in detail and asked for specific practice next time.

Meanwhile, Andrew (primary) used to get stuck on reading tricky words but now reads aloud without giving up, explains new vocabulary using his own actions, and even uses those words in sentences.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Gary is doing a great job and Emilee is really appreciative of their time together.

Carl has enjoyed working with both his tutors this year and is well prepared for his VCE math methods exams. Having a personal tutor, even for a student like Carl who is already achieving excellent academic results, has helped relieve some of the stress of VCE and enabled him to sort out areas he wanted to work on with more depth.

Bailey is really happy with Jackie, and so are we, he enjoys their sessions and I can see he is understanding much better.  Jackie is very courteous and punctual.

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 Guildford Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Old Guildford Public School.
