Year 8 student Daniel focused on linear equations and practiced rates and ratios, using real-life examples to reinforce concepts.
In Year 10, Emily worked through quadratic equations using the quadratic formula and explored parabolas by sketching their graphs.
Meanwhile, Year 3 student Remi tackled word problems involving missing integers and built confidence with time and date questions in a supportive setting.
In Year 9 algebra, one student relied on assumptions about pronumeral order from previous questions—she assumed the order was the same, which affected her answer and working out. This habit meant careless mix-ups persisted through several problems.
A Year 11 student struggled to maintain attention to detail when reading income tax tables, leading to missed information.
In Year 8 English, reluctance to complete homework surfaced when "he dodged the question of homework towards the end of the lesson," making it harder to reinforce skills between sessions.
For a primary learner with ADD, skipping written working in maths made small errors harder to spot and correct.
One Scarborough tutor noticed a real shift with Erin, a high school student who used to hesitate when faced with systems of equations—this week she confidently used both elimination and substitution methods on her own, even checking her steps without prompting.
Another senior student made visible progress in factorising quadratics: after struggling to remember the cross method, she was able to identify and apply it accurately across different problems.
Meanwhile, Max in primary school surprised his tutor by eagerly reading aloud from a new book series; previously reluctant to read unfamiliar material, he now tackles tricky passages willingly and discusses their meaning afterward.
Unfortunately not every school teacher is a good match for every student. Often the student might develop the sense that they are not smart because they don't understand their teacher's approach, but often it's just a bad match. No teacher is a perfect teacher for every single student, especially students who might need a tailored approach. A private English tutor can help.
It's truly incredible the way in which one explanation creates that "aha" moment whereas another creates confusion. Our service is all about finding you the "right" tutor, not the "best" tutor. A local Scarborough English tutor will not only connect well with your child but they will be able to offer explanations in such a manner that your child just "gets it". This is what we do.
Our offer is quite simple. We will find you an English tutor in Scarborough. They will come to your home at a time of your choosing. They will come as often or as little as you decide. They will tailor the lessons to your child's specific needs. Best of all, if you think the tutor is not the "right" fit, we'll organise another tutor free of charge.
We want you to be a raving fan of your tutor. That's our Good-Fit guarantee.
