Inside SkyeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Alexandra focused on solving linear equations and worked through basic algebra skills such as using in-and-out tables to introduce variables.

Year 9 student reviewed index laws and practiced expanding binomial products as part of their study on quadratics, using step-by-step written examples.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student tackled trigonometric ratios alongside the Pythagorean theorem, applying these concepts to triangle problems with real-world measurement contexts.

Recent Challenges

Homework completion was a challenge for one Year 9 student, with notes highlighting, "The homework I assigned that was due this week was not completed."

In Year 11 algebra, working out steps were often skipped or written messily, making it difficult to check answers and causing marks to be lost. As noted in another case, "Needs to make his working out clear to gain full marks."

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student avoided showing calculations for double-digit addition and instead guessed answers until prompted. This led to confusion during more complex problems and time spent backtracking rather than progressing confidently.

Recent Achievements

One Skye tutor noticed a big change in a Year 8 student who used to avoid asking for help—she now puts her hand up as soon as she's stuck on algebraic equations, which has sped up her progress.

In a recent high school session, another student worked through an entire set of geometry problems independently and managed to apply the correct formulas without any reminders, something he previously needed step-by-step guidance for.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who once hesitated with times tables has started quizzing the tutor back using his own multiplication game idea.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thanks for asking So far so good Michael is great. Kane seems to be quite happy

We are very happy with the way the tutoring is working out. Harry seems to have improved already and his confidence is on the way up, all good news. Lee has been excellent and Harry is very happy to work with him.

Sophie is very happy with Jane as a tutor.  Jane is extremely diligent - we have the complication of the UK syllabi and Jane has taken a lot of trouble in her own time, to check up on what Sophie should be learning !

English tutoring in Skye

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 Skye 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.

English Tutor Skye

Our offer is quite simple. We will find you an English tutor in Skye. 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.

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 Carrum Downs Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Skye Primary School.
