Georgie was very happy with her tutoring with Mbonisi on Wed. They seemed to connect really well and G is keen to continue each week.Sally
Year 8 student Yillen worked on applying Pythagoras' Theorem to both right-angled and isosceles triangles, then practiced using graphs to find coordinates for constructing triangles.
For Year 9, Chloe focused on solving trigonometry problems with SOHCAHTOA to find side lengths and unknown angles, and also revised equations for speed, distance, and time in preparation for her test.
Meanwhile, Year 6 student Rory concentrated on multiplying fractions by integers and converting between improper fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals using real examples.
During recent high school sessions, logging in late and frequent distractionsâsuch as using a phone during lessonsâmeant less time spent tackling new algebra or geometry questions.
In one Year 9 tutorial, "I had to almost give him 80% of the answers just to keep him engaged."
On another occasion, forgetting essential materials like calculators or notes made it hard to follow through with Pythagoras and Pi-based tasks.
Meanwhile, a primary student aiming to improve spelling rarely submitted written work for feedback, limiting opportunities for targeted support.
Missed homework and forgotten revision notes left gaps before assessments.
A tutor in Point Clare noticed one high school student who previously hesitated to ask for help now openly requests clarification when stuck and even asked for extra homework to challenge himself, a big shift from staying quiet during sessions.
Another secondary student, after struggling with Pythagoras' Theorem at first, walked out of the lesson confidently able to explain each step on his own.
In Year 5 English, a quieter student surprised her tutor by volunteering examples of figurative language independently, something she hadn't done before. At the end of that session, she asked if they could try harder spelling words next time.
It takes a lot to do well in biology. Moving up the curriculum can be a challenge and if students don't jump in with both feet it's easy to fall behind.
