I feel as though a comfortable space where they feel comfortable exploring ideas, asking questions, and even making mistakes is something important as through mistakes you can learn.

Inside RiverstoneTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Charlize practised comparing fractions with different denominators and used pie graphs to visualise them, then worked on long division problems using the HMS-down method.

In Year 10, Justine focused on circle geometry exam questions, including applying angle properties in diagrams.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Ivanna tackled inverse and composite functions from chapters 4I and 4J, building fluency with function operations and notation.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student's lesson revealed a key process gap: he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors, making it hard to spot mistakes until late.

In Year 12 probability, a student left boxes empty when unsure, rather than attempting partial answers or using feedback to guide their thinking.

One primary student hesitated to ask for help with spelling rules and vowel placements, leading to repeated errors on writing tasks.

Missed homework in senior mathematics meant concepts like the triangle inequality and Kruskal's algorithm faded between lessons, forcing time to be spent reteaching instead of moving forward.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Riverstone noticed a Year 11 student who used to hesitate with new maths concepts now independently applies the point-gradient formula and can explain her reasoning for both domain and range questions, even asking follow-up questions when stuck.

Another high schooler has started double-checking answers on their own and will pause the lesson to clarify anything unclear, rather than quietly guessing like before.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who once struggled with multiplication tables now remembers strategies between lessons—she was able to recall the 4 times table from memory after practice without needing prompts.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

The tutoring seems to be going very well so far. We have been working on the areas Mohamed has indicated Charlotte needs extra help with and his report was very helpful in this regard.

Leon has made some extreme improvement over this Term. In the last 3 weeks he has achieved 5th and 2nd!!! in the class mathematics tests. This has improved his confidence immensely and he shows more enthusiasm in his tutoring sessions. Very happy with Jordan.

We are very happy with how things are going with Sam - he is great at explaining concepts and Ruby seems to be responding positively to his style of coaching.

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 Vinegar Hill Memorial Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Riverstone Public School.
