Year 4 student Ava focused on addition, subtraction, and multiplication of fractions, then worked through dividing fractions and ratios using visual models.
For Year 8, Daniel practised identifying triangles and calculating angles before moving on to review quadrilaterals and their properties.
Meanwhile, Year 10 student Sarah tackled surds and indices, then revised exponential functions ahead of her upcoming test to build confidence with these advanced algebraic concepts.
A Year 8 student entered the session unsure how to start factorising questions and hesitated when faced with algebra, often "mixing up what formula to use" if steps weren't clearly mapped out.
In Year 10, exam time management issues surfaced: working slowly through long-form questions meant several were left unfinished.
For a Year 4 learner, division concepts only clicked after repeated prompting; homework was rarely attempted independently, as one tutor observed, "needs more initiative to do work."
In chemistry for Year 11, over-reliance on the data book led to missed method errors—extra practice is still needed outside sessions.
A Somerville tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to avoid asking questions is now regularly seeking clarification on tricky algebra steps, especially with simultaneous equations—a big shift from staying silent last term.
In Year 8, another student made a leap in geometry by correctly identifying angles and types of lines without prompting after weeks of confusion, even applying the number line for negative numbers independently.
Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who struggled to complete homework now attempts times tables tasks at home unprompted and recently finished six pages of maths work almost entirely error-free.
Our goal is to help your child become an independent learner. Ultimately they must succeed on their own, without a maths tutor. Otherwise, what's the point? Each student has their own path to intellectual independence but a tutor can certainly help in every case. Exam technique, revision, problem solving, study habits and many more "learning strategies" come into play. It can be a difficult road for our young people and mentorship from someone who has been there and done that can be the difference between success and failure.
So what do we do exactly?
We'll organise an in-home maths tutor in Somerville. They'll come over as often as you need and when you need. They will teach your child content while helping them absorb the learning skills required to succeed on their own. It's super important that your child feels the tutor is a good match for them. This is why we offer a "Good Fit Guarantee" - the first lesson is a trial. There are no cancellation costs or booking fees or any other "hidden costs". We keep it simple!
Talk to one of our consultants, help us understand what you need, when you need it, and we'll do the rest!
