Inside Trott ParkTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Ella practised finding the equation of a line given two points and worked through graphing linear equations, including interpreting worded problems.

Year 11 student Ryan reviewed logarithms and exponent rules, then applied them to model bacterial population growth using exponential functions.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Sarah focused on hypothesis testing with confidence intervals and critical values, as well as integrating probability density functions to solve normal distribution questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student working on rearranging algebraic equations often became confused when negative numbers were involved; as a tutor noted, "he was missing steps in his working, which made it hard to find where the sign error occurred."

In Year 11, forgetting or misplacing key reference materials (such as a 'mini-theorems' book) meant extra time was spent searching for information instead of practicing.

For one Year 12 investigation task, there was hesitation to label graphs and include all required details—resulting in lost marks despite strong conceptual understanding.

When interpreting worded problems in Years 8 and 10, unclear written steps made checking answers more difficult.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Trott Park noticed a big shift with one Year 10 student, who had previously struggled to interpret worded questions but now confidently finds equations of lines from two points without prompting.

In a recent senior session, a Year 12 student—who often hesitated when tackling differentiation—was able to independently construct sign diagrams and work through derivative problems after some guidance.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 learner moved from confusion about fractions and decimals to accurately explaining their connection to percentages.

Last week, another high schooler received an A- on his statistics test after weeks of working through expected value questions together.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Georgie is really enjoying coaching with Gabrielle. She's already doing so much better in maths at school (her teacher has commented on the huge improvement at recent parent teacher conference!). Gabrielle is a real asset to your team. She's so polite, punctual, intelligent and just fantastic.

We're very happy with Shehara and Marco has started to build a bond with Shehara. Marco's making steady progress and we'd like to keep the Maths tutoring going.

Henry was very happy with Hayden's style of tutoring. He found him clear and concise in the way he explained methods, and was teaching him the same way his teacher is at school. Whilst I was listening in the background I could hear that Hayden was very encouraging towards Henry which I'm sure gave him some confidence to tackle the next equation. I know that Hayden will leave more and more homework going forward, he was keen to get to know Henry as a person, identify his strengths and weaknesses first.

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 Hallett Cove Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Woodend Primary School.
