Inside SilvanTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Codi focused on revising circular functions ahead of an upcoming exam, including applying sine and cosine rules.

With Year 11 student Ayelet, work centred on simplifying surds as well as operations involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of surds for deeper understanding.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Erin practiced identifying stationary points and explored their application to context-based problems in calculus using graph sketches.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 English, one student's writing often became overly wordy—"sometimes her language is a little too wordy which can result in the sentence losing some meaning and impact"—making it hard to communicate ideas clearly in essays.

In VCE Maths, another student showed a strong preference for one multiplication method and was hesitant to try others, limiting flexibility during problem-solving.

A Year 7 maths student sometimes relied on calculators instead of practicing pen-and-paper calculations, especially with times tables and surds. This led to slower progress when asked to work without aids during lessons or tests.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Silvan noticed that Maya, after weeks of needing her notes for every division problem, managed to finish a set unaided of 10 questions in just 3.5 minutes without looking at her yellow book—she even set herself a goal to do it faster next week.

Meanwhile, Lizzie (Year 11) has gone from repeating back ideas to developing her own interpretations during text analysis, recently making creative links between real-world events and themes from her literature class.

In Year 10 maths, Ayelet now works through surd simplification steps clearly on paper and often chooses the correct trigonometric ratio independently.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Based on the sessions held to date with Ai-linh, Nathan is really enjoying her teaching style. From my perspective she is really sweet and is always punctual and consistent which has really maximised Nathan's learning and our ability to plan for effectively. Thank you for arranging for Ai-linh to assist Nathan.

Thank you for finding a new tutor so fast. I just want to let you know that even the very first session with James a great success. He is very competent, explains thins very clearly. Both of my children enjoyed it.

Stella is fantastic and Alex's maths grades went from D to B with Stella so we are very grateful. I am keen for her to continue because she was doing very well with Stella.

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 Evelyn Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Silvan Primary School.
