Far too often students fall into the trap of memorisation. They lack the conceptual understanding, thus when given a question that does not perfectly coincide with their rules, they panic. I strongly believe that as a tutor, my goal is to motivate students to really grasp concepts and truly appreciate the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of a rule or…

Inside Rooty HillTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Caleb revised fractions, decimals, and percentages, focusing on applying these concepts through homework tasks.

Year 8 student Agazio wrapped up a Geography assignment with emphasis on formatting and rephrasing, then moved on to structuring his English assessment using detailed examples.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student worked through solving algebraic linear equations and practiced simultaneous solving methods in line with current classroom topics.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 Mathematics, a student relied heavily on calculators and avoided showing working out—this made it difficult to spot and correct errors. As noted, "He needs to reduce dependance on calculators when asked to show working out."

In Year 9 English, another student struggled with motivation and rarely explained her thought process, which left gaps in understanding during essay planning.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner was urged to write answers more clearly after messy columns led to mistakes in times tables.

The challenge of not slowing down or re-reading questions in NAPLAN practice left avoidable confusion unresolved.

Recent Achievements

One Rooty Hill tutor noticed a real shift in Ricky, a high school student who previously hesitated to attempt questions—he now takes initiative to solve problems himself, even back-checking his work independently.

Zariyah, also in high school, showed new adaptability by quickly engaging with online learning and making the most of lessons after time off.

In Year 3, Caleb's attitude improved markedly; after a long break, he jumped straight back into tasks he'd found uncomfortable before and asked for extra practice.

Last week, Amayah integrated English study into maths session without missing a beat.

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 Mt Druitt Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Rooty Hill Public School.
