Although this is a personal preference, I also believe that, as an english tutor, being available for students to ask questions outside…

Inside Potts HillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Natalia worked on adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators and tackled past paper problem-solving questions for the OC maths test.

Year 8 student Ryan focused on rates and ratios, applying them to real-world scenarios, and also reviewed how interest rates work using step-by-step calculations.

Meanwhile, Year 4 student Lily practised converting decimals to mixed numbers as well as simplifying equivalent fractions, reinforcing these skills with targeted worksheets.

Recent Challenges

In Year 7 English, one student's essays were "missing key points in the conclusion," and time management issues showed up during exam writing.

In Year 6 maths, a habit of doing working out mentally instead of on paper led to repeated mistakes with fractions and perimeter; as noted, "he needs to write down his working out rather than doing them in his head."

Meanwhile, a Year 9 student struggled with applying the correct formula when faced with multi-step problems, often guessing or choosing at random if unsure—this meant he missed opportunities to learn from feedback and solidify problem-solving strategies.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Potts Hill recently saw Joel, a Year 10 student, shift from writing run-on sentences to spotting and correcting them on his own—something he'd struggled with before.

Sriyan, also in high school, won his class speech competition after working hard on structure and argument; previously, he'd hesitated to present.

In primary years, Adriana surprised her tutor by quickly picking up how decimals work and now solves complex addition problems in her head without prompting.

At the end of her last session, she completed all her fractions homework accurately and explained each answer aloud.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

thanks for your note.  Things appear to be going well with Andrew.  He is a very polite and professional young man and he seems to get on well with Matthew.

I would like to thank you and your team for all the help with preparing Marissa for her Math exam. Gabriella was a wonderful help,  I do nightly recommend her. Thank you for the time spent with her

Tutoring has gotten off to a great start thankyou. Adrian is always on time and his professional & friendly manner has encouraged Erin to have a positive response to being tutored ( she was not keen initially) Erin is enjoying her session with Adrian and I can see her willingness to work with him will increase her confidence in maths in general.

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 Regents Park Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Birrong Girls High School.
