Year 9 student Michael reviewed geometric reasoning and proofs, including congruency reasoning, then tackled challenging exam-style questions on factorisation and expanding.
Year 10 Maddison worked through trigonometry problems involving right-angled triangles and bearings, then revised theoretical versus experimental probability and relative frequency.
Meanwhile, Year 11 Sarah focused on indices and laws of exponents before moving on to logarithms and exponential equations in preparation for upcoming assessments.
A Year 9 student repeatedly avoided writing out working in geometry, relying on mental calculation and causing missed steps—he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors.
For a Year 11 exam, another student struggled with time management and stopped short of fully simplifying answers when under pressure.
In Year 7 maths, one student left several division problems blank due to low confidence rather than lack of skill; reluctance to attempt questions was common unless total understanding was felt.
These habits led to unfinished tests or repeated mistakes that could have been caught with clearer layout and step-by-step checking.
A Paddington tutor noticed Ruby, a high school student, is now tackling simultaneous equations independently—she confidently uses substitution and addition methods to find unknowns, whereas earlier she'd often hesitate or wait for hints.
In another recent session, Michael has started explaining his reasoning out loud when working through tricky maths proofs; previously he'd skip steps in his working, but now details every stage which is leading to fewer mistakes on assessments.
Meanwhile, Henry (Year 6) has begun reading worded problems aloud himself before starting calculations—this new habit means he's catching key information he used to miss.
Getting through 12 grades of school has its challenges. From actually passing exams to building intellectual independence to figuring out what to do after high school's over. Everyone can remember some of the hurdles that came up during the school years of their life. We have 87 English tutors in Paddington available to help your child overcome some of those hurdles. Private tutoring is all about a tailored approach, so whether your child needs to overcome some confidence issues, develop a study plan, prepare for exams or comprehend some specific trouble topics, we're here to help. And, what helps the most is having a good student-tutor fit, it's really a core ingredient that determines whether tutoring will help your child in the way you want.
So how does it all work?
The tutoring is done in your home at a time and day that is convenient. We want you to be super happy with your English tutor so the first lesson works as a trial: don't like it = don't pay for it. No extra charges, booking costs, cancellation fees, minimum requirements or anything of that sort. Pay for the tutoring time used at the end of each month based on a simple hourly rate. That's all!
