I just want to say that we are very happy with the way tutoring has started off. My daughter Leah is really enjoying it.Winefred
Year 4 student Sienna focused on the split and compensation strategies for addition and subtraction, as well as building confidence with multiplication tables.
In Year 9, Chitleen worked through essay writing using the PEEL structure and practiced analysing film techniques within her school texts.
Meanwhile, Year 10 student Justin explored key film techniques in "Whale Rider" and refined his informative writing by identifying pivotal scenes and structuring clear paragraphs.
A Year 9 student tackling algebra tended to avoid structuring written answers, as one tutor noted, "he skipped showing steps in equations, which hid sign errors." This meant time was spent searching for mistakes instead of moving forward.
In Year 11 English, another student struggled to break down Macbeth's key concepts—her notes remained general and she hesitated to use language techniques, leading to bland essay drafts.
Meanwhile, a Year 6 learner repeatedly left homework incomplete and would procrastinate on assignments; missed deadlines made it hard to build on skills week-to-week or get the feedback needed before new topics began.
A tutor in Tennyson noticed one Year 11 student, previously hesitant to tackle simultaneous equations, now confidently solves them on her own and even double-checks her answers without prompting.
Meanwhile, a Year 8 English student who used to struggle with planning essays has started asking for feedback mid-draft and voluntarily revises her introductions before moving on.
In primary school, another student who found it difficult to express ideas in writing is now drafting stories more quickly and recently described a character's feelings using details from both books and his own life—something he hadn't attempted before.
No one has doubts about the importance of English in the Australian school curriculum. Not only is it a mandatory subject to complete year 12, but it's a useful life skill. Verbal and written language skills are crucial in the information age. Comprehending texts, textual analysis, structuring written reports, refining creative processes and applying a structure to them, articulating thoughts concisely ... these skills are going to be useful in just about any career path. Of course, it all starts in the school classroom.
Maybe your child just needs to catch up to the class or work on some specific weaknesses or get ahead of the class.
