I think the most important things a tutor can do is to make the content understandable rather than just helping to memorise it. But also to normalise mistakes and to assert the importance of educated guessing. Any student can learn faster by giving something a go rather than waiting until they are certain. I believe I can explain and break down…

Inside WatsonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Mia worked on converting between units of measurement (including kilometres, metres, and hectares) and practiced division alongside introducing index notation.

In Year 9, Ethan focused on applying index laws for multiplication and division of powers with the same base, as well as simplifying expressions using these rules.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Alex revised conditional probability with Venn diagrams and tree diagrams, practicing how to calculate probabilities of combined events and complementary outcomes.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often relied heavily on notes and formula sheets when solving algebra problems, rarely writing out full working—"Needs to write working out down," as one tutor observed. This habit led to confusion between addition and multiplication in expressions like 3x versus 3 + x, causing repeated errors.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student frequently left multiplication table homework incomplete or forgot books at school; only half of assigned work was submitted for several weeks. As a result, important foundational skills remained patchy and test revision sessions were spent relearning basics instead of consolidating new material.

Recent Achievements

One Watson tutor noticed a big change in a Year 10 student who had previously needed reminders for algebraic expansion—this week, after just one prompt, he expanded several bracketed expressions almost independently.

A high school student working on probability was able to use a double table effectively to solve intersection problems without any help, showing new self-reliance compared to past sessions.

In primary years, another student who once hesitated to work alone completed all multiplication and subtraction problems with only minimal assistance and even started tackling simple fractions on her own.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

We are really happy with Vivienne. She is very patient and explains things extremely clearly. Already had a 74% which for a child who is almost maths dialexic this was fabulous. Anyway we are very happy with her Thankyou

Hi Erica, thank you for your email. Things have started well with Jacob and hopefully they will continue in the same way. I think in this case, the difference for Jamie is that she can ask Jacob about a problem that she is struggling with and he can answer her straight away. Vivian was able to answer her too but it took her longer and I think the time factor was what was frustrating Jamie. As I'm sure you are aware in year 12 there is such a time crunch that any delays just add more pressure.

Hi Erica Thanks for the email. Yes, everything is going very well. Daniel is finding Yuta to be very helpful and has definitely been able to identify areas of weakness that require work. We are all very pleased with the progress to date.

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 Dickson Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Majura Primary School.
