Inside PullenvaleTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 4 student Ella focused on strategies for mastering higher-number times tables and worked through decimals, percentages, and fractions using visual aids.
In Year 10, Zoe revised her math test to address errors with compound interest calculations and solving quadratic equations.
Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sanvi practiced differentiation techniques including the product and chain rules in Math Methods, then shifted to Chemistry where she refined her rationale for an experimental assignment.
Recent Challenges
In Year 4 mathematics, a student repeatedly substituted subtraction for addition and struggled to combine multiplication and division in multi-step problems; as one tutor noted, "she hadn't really internalised the strategies" until given extra support.
A Year 10 student arrived without her homework book multiple weeks in a row, which made it difficult to track progress or address gaps—leading to confusion when switching between fractions and decimals.
In Year 12 Chemistry, another student submitted written reports late and with unclear structure, prompting feedback: "She seems to have a difficult time understanding how to plan her report."
Recent Achievements
A tutor in Pullenvale noticed that one Year 5 student, who previously needed reminders for multiplication strategies, now recalls and applies them independently—she recently managed fraction addition with different denominators without hesitation.
In high school, Zoe has made a clear shift from confusion to mastery: after struggling with geometric sequences earlier this term, she got a tough sequence question correct on her non-calculator exam and confidently redid similar problems.
Meanwhile, Sanvi has begun tackling chemistry assignments ahead of schedule and is now connecting concepts between topics without needing prompts—last session, she attempted every practice exam question on her own initiative.

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 Kenmore Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Pullenvale State School.
