Science Tutor The Gap, QLD
I consider the most important things a tutor can do to be instilling confidence, a love for learning and critical thinking skills in their student. I believe that helping a student with their confidence levels when learning new concepts is crucial to inspiring growth and long-term success. I believe that cultivating a love for learning is…

Local Reviews

Lauren seems to be going well and most importantly is engaging with Steph and feeling better about Maths in general. We are very happy with Steph so far. She is a lovely girl who is always punctual and the communication between us is excellent. And I think Lauren looks forward to her sessions with Steph, which can only be a positive!

Inside Wights MountainTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Oliver worked on finding the area and perimeter of composite shapes, then applied these skills to worded problems involving length using diagrams for clarity.

For Year 10, Mia practiced solving linear equations and intersecting equations, focusing on step-by-step algebraic manipulation and interpretation of solution points.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Josh explored applications of percentages by calculating mark ups and discounts, as well as converting values using scientific notation and significant figures for assignment tasks.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student struggled to organize working when rearranging equations, often skipping clear layout—this made errors in solving for unknowns harder to spot ("steps were scattered across the page").

In Year 7, a learner avoided annotating diagrams during geometry problems, which led to confusion over what each value represented and slowed progress.

For a senior student in Year 11 tackling compound interest and bearings, reliance on written notes rather than recalling formulas meant extra time was spent searching rather than practicing applications.

When interpreting multi-step word problems in Year 8 maths, not reading all information carefully resulted in missed details and incomplete solutions.

Recent Achievements

One Wights Mountain tutor recently saw a Year 11 student, who used to freeze up on worded trig problems, now independently sketching diagrams and picking out which trig rules to apply—something she avoided before.

In another session, a Year 9 student who'd previously guessed at ratios in real-world tasks started consistently breaking down word problems to set up the right equations herself without prompting.

A younger student in Year 4, who was hesitant with time conversions, surprised her tutor by reading both "minutes past" and standard formats confidently and solving several mixed time questions back-to-back.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Oliver is engaged with his lesson and we are happy with her as Rouyan is always punctual.

Christopher has a very great communication style and is fun and he made the lesson engaging and also challenging.

Washim has been great. Josephine received C/D marks last semester for Maths and has achieved an A- and a B+ for her most recent exams this term so her time with Washim has been very helpful.

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 Arana Hills Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Samford Valley Steiner School.
