Understand them. I must understand where the child's mistakes root from, how they got there and how I could re-explain the concept so that the child would understand it with ease. The next most important thing would be patience as it takes time and making mistakes to learn and become better at something. I believe I am very patient, hard working…

Inside ShalveyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Riley worked on solving inequalities and explored gradients in linear equations, practicing graphing techniques.

For Year 9, Sarah tackled simultaneous equations using both substitution and elimination methods, then moved on to a chapter review focusing on BODMAS and fraction operations.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ethan concentrated on calculus skills—specifically differentiation—and also reviewed function properties by working through targeted exam-style questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student struggled to focus during exams, leading to "a lot of careless mistakes"—missing marks in questions he otherwise understood.

In Year 7, one student overcomplicated simple fraction problems and sometimes forgot basic steps after missing class from an injury; this made catching up slower.

For a Year 8 learner, confusion with shape reflections grew each time the mirror line moved, leaving him frustrated mid-task.

Across multiple high school years, incomplete tutor homework was noted: "Requesting more consistency in completing tutor homework," which meant missed chances for targeted feedback before tests.

Recent Achievements

One Shalvey tutor noticed a Year 11 student stopped relying on graphing software for linear equations and now completes classwork on time—a big shift from earlier habits of hesitancy.

Another high schooler, previously making small errors with negative numbers, has recently shown real progress mastering mean, median, and mode; he even solved a harder median problem without needing hints.

In a primary session, Musawer—who often guessed angles before—now confidently adds them up independently and explains his steps out loud during practice.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Very happy with Jason's tutelage.  Anna understands him and they work well together. Thanks for the connection!

Holly enjoyed her lessons with Jennifer as she was VERY patient and simplified the tasks, so that Holly could gain a better concept of the task at hand.

Thomas got 83% in each of his 2 Maths exams in the last week, (he went from 97 % to 50 % which made us think of tutoring) but for me its not the mark , it's the fact that he is happy and confident and really looking forward to his tutor time. It has done such a lot for his confidence Big thanks to Gabrielle!

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 Chifley College Shalvey Campus.
