Breeanna got along well with Alicia and quite liked her approach to math. She has identified some areas that need a bit of work, so far we are pleased with everythingJeanette, Highbury
Year 7 student Marley revised the area of sectors and surface area from Chapter 7, working through example questions together.
Year 8 student Ava focused on drawing linear graphs from y- and x-intercepts and practiced finding slope in preparation for more advanced graphing work.
Meanwhile, Year 6 student Liam tackled perimeter and area of rectangles, triangles, mixed shapes, and circles, using visual aids to reinforce formulas.
In Year 10, one student struggled to enter formulas into a scientific calculator, leading to repeated confusion and hesitation during multi-step calculations; as noted, "he seemed confused about entering equations and formulas into his calculator."
A Year 9 student rarely wrote out working for algebra problems, preferring to do everything at once on the calculator—this hid mistakes with signs and fractions.
Meanwhile, a primary student's written work was difficult to follow due to inconsistent layout when solving sums.
For a senior class, forgetting to bring revision materials resulted in incomplete homework and missed opportunities for targeted practice before tests.
A tutor in Vista recently saw Finlay, a high school student, tackle dividing terms with indices—he made several mistakes at first but by working through booklet questions, he began correcting errors on his own and finished the harder problems without needing help.
Marley, also in high school, used to hesitate when breaking down algebraic expressions but has started handling multi-step substitutions independently and follows BEDMAS accurately throughout.
Meanwhile, a younger student named George shifted from being unsure about unit conversions to quickly giving correct answers for perimeter problems after just a couple of examples.
Finding a suitable maths tutor for your child can be difficult. Where do you start? What do you look for? Experience? Personality? Someone local? Should they teach their own content or work on your child's current school work? How often should you have tutoring? How long should each session be? Is a particular time of the day more effective than other times?
So many questions, but, after years and years of experience, we can assure you there is no on-size-fits-all answer. Tuition is an individual matter. It's really about finding someone who is a good match for your specific situation. That means a good personality match + a teaching style that matches the student's learning style + a good balance between empathy and authoritativeness + many other things.
Unfortunately no tutor profile can tell you if the tutor will be a good match. You won't know that until you see them working together.
It usually doesn't take us more than a few days to organise a maths tutor in Vista. And, we really want you to love your tutor! That's why your first lesson works as a trial. Don't think the match is good? We'll organise someone else...
