Inside UnderwoodTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Hannah focused on multiplication using the vertical algorithm and practiced adding fractions with the butterfly method for clarity.

In Year 7, Jayden worked through converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages, and reviewed exam-style multiple choice questions to build confidence.

For Year 10, Sophie developed her research investigation skills in science while exploring disease and pathogens as part of her biology learning goals.

Recent Challenges

In Year 4 mathematics, one student often guessed answers for multiplication and word problems instead of using drawings or working out on paper. As a tutor noted, "she doesn't use drawings to assist her with many multiplication questions even though I constantly tell her that it will help," which led to small but repeated errors and loss of confidence during sessions.

In Year 11 Biology, another student's notes sometimes missed key learning goals and draft work was incomplete—this made targeted feedback difficult and delayed improvements in their assignments. Moments like these left students frustrated when they couldn't spot where they'd gone wrong.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Underwood recently noticed a Year 9 student who previously struggled to organise her science assignments now independently breaks down research tasks and completes each section of her report without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student who used to guess at decimal conversions now carefully checks how many places to move the decimal point when converting between litres and millilitres, catching her own mistakes along the way.

In primary school, one child who once needed help reading analogue clocks read the time correctly on their own by the end of the session.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We are very happy with AiPing, she works the boys hard and seems to be very knowledgeable.

So far we are extremely happy with Sarah. As you said, it is very early days, but so far so good. Mackenzie is very comfortable with her and feeling very positive about having Sarah as his new tutor. She is always punctual and friendly. And she has taken on some extra sessions with Mack over the school holidays which has been very helpful. I look forward to getting a couple of months tutoring under our belt to hopefully see some progress.

Thank you for your email.  Things are going well with the tutoring and Christian is a capable young man, as you say it will take time to see an improvement. Hopefully after that time, Kimberley will be feeling more confident.

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 Logan North Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Eight Mile Plains State School.
