Inside ThornlieTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Claudia practised calculating the area of composite shapes and converting between units of time.

Year 10 student Jasmine worked on algebraic factorisation as well as expanding brackets, using a worksheet for extra practice.

Meanwhile, Maha in Year 11 focused on arithmetic and geometric sequences, tackling problems that required identifying patterns and finding specific terms within those sequences.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student hesitated to attempt the non-calculator section in maths, with "a bit scared of it" noted during probability questions—this lack of confidence led to slower progress and less risk-taking.

In Year 10, one student repeatedly missed key details when reading through test questions, which resulted in misinterpreting problems on population samples and probability tables.

For a Year 4 learner, reliance on a multiplication chart instead of having times tables memorised meant more time was spent looking up answers than practicing new concepts.

In algebra assignments, skipping careful setup sometimes caused both sides not to balance.

Recent Achievements

A Thornlie tutor noticed a real shift with Jasmine in Year 10—she's started spotting her own mistakes during practice tests, catching errors before they're pointed out, which is a big change from when she'd rush through and overlook them.

Claudia, in Year 11, now comes to sessions ready to tell the tutor exactly where she feels stuck and reminds them of her gaps as they work; last term, she'd stay quiet even when confused.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student recently managed long division mostly alone for the first time after weeks needing step-by-step help.

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 Thornlie Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Australian Islamic College (Thornlie).
