Inside RockleaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Sam worked through simultaneous equations and expanded brackets, focusing on clear step-by-step solutions.

For Year 11, Ava tackled trigonometric functions including sine and cosine waves using unit circles, as well as converting between degrees and radians.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Jack concentrated on differentiation rules—specifically the chain rule, quotient rule, and product rule—to strengthen calculus foundations with targeted examples from recent assessments.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11, one student repeatedly lost track of numbers mid-calculation during algebra tasks; as the tutor noted, "numbers would slip out of her head as she was solving problems and she would have to backtrack," which often led to correct concepts but wrong answers.

In a Year 8 session, a student fell back on simply adding or multiplying any given numbers when stuck, instead of working through problem steps—a short-term crutch that limited deeper understanding.

After-school fatigue in a senior student left him freezing up or disengaged at key moments, making it harder to complete multi-step questions under pressure.

Recent Achievements

In a Rocklea tutoring session, Zoe, a high schooler with ADHD and dyscalculia, experimented with colour-coded notes and visual cues—she now finds it easier to interpret complex expressions and even solved cross multiplication problems that previously tripped her up.

Shakya, also in high school, showed a shift from uncertainty to self-reliance; despite being unwell, she completed all her homework independently and applied linear equations to real-world scenarios like GPS signals.

Meanwhile, Rama in Year 5 surprised her tutor by generating creative sentences quickly when prompted—something she'd hesitated with before—and spelling advanced words without help.

What they say about our tutoring

Jarryd is proving a great find! Meg's already doing better and feeling more confident, so we're very happy. Thanks for finding him for us.

Katie is great and things are all going very well. Both Michaela and I like Katie very much.

Thanks for organising Matt for tutoring. Tom had a great first session with him and said he 'got heaps' out of the experience.

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