It was a relief to deal with people not AI. Thank you for being on the other end of the telephone. At 81 years old my typing and internet skills are not increasing.

Inside Soldiers PointTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Olivia focused on algebraic equations and simplifying expressions, using targeted practice to build confidence with these problem areas.

For Year 8, Ethan worked through financial maths topics including depreciation and calculating dividend yield, applying real-world examples for clarity.

Meanwhile, primary student Liam revised multiplication and division facts alongside angles, making use of diagrams to reinforce his understanding of basic operations and geometry.

Recent Challenges

In recent sessions, a Year 11 student tackling financial maths was observed to "rely on formulas and putting numbers in to get an answer," which led to confusion when faced with unfamiliar or wordy problems.

In Year 9 algebra, one student hesitated to attempt challenging questions unless the method matched classroom examples; if structure changed, she became stuck until prompted.

Another Year 8 student working through speed and distance struggled with messy written work—her layout made errors hard to spot and correct.

In each case, dependence on procedure over understanding meant deeper learning or independent problem-solving stalled under pressure.

Recent Achievements

One Soldiers Point tutor recently noticed Danika, a high school student, coming to sessions with her own list of class questions—something she hadn't done before—and working through most problems independently after initially struggling to retain new content.

Another high schooler, Liz, has started tackling advanced financial maths exam questions on her own; she now openly discusses answers and even explains her reasoning when the tutor is unsure, which marks a shift from earlier sessions where she hesitated to speak up.

Meanwhile, in Year 7, Lara managed to apply feedback from previous lessons and completed a practice test almost entirely without help, scoring 22 out of 25.

What they say about our tutoring

Thank you for the report. We are very happy with Kim's approach and way of teaching . Yejeena is very responsive to her and enjoying her learning. She has become more confident in school and starting to put her hand up to answer questions when her teacher asks questions from the the class. It seems to us that , Kim also is enjoying working with Yejee and very happy with Yejee's attitude toward her extra study hours after school.

Both Ashleigh and myself are very happy with Duncan. Ashleigh is already feeling much more confident and I believe that she will progress steadily.

Tutoring with Robert is going extremely well. Robert has an excellent way of explaining concepts and Tara and Ethan are already feeling more confident with their maths.

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 Tomaree Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Soldiers Point Public School.
