Inside ZillmereTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Jessica focused on differentiation, learning to interpret the slope and smoothness of lines in real-world contexts, as well as refining her assignment writing by articulating mathematical assumptions and observations.

Year 10 student Zara worked through quadratic concepts such as completing the square and difference of two squares, alongside practical factorising using multiplicative primes.

Meanwhile, Year 5 student Darci strengthened her understanding of angles and probability, plus practiced simplifying and solving fraction word problems using visual strategies.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11, Jacob struggled to plan regular practice and balance his schedule as the workload increased—"this is sort of a buffering period," noted his tutor, but gaps in routine meant last-minute revision before assessments.

For senior Maths, Jessica's written work needed clearer structure; she often left "solve" and "verify" sections incomplete in assignments, which made it hard to track her reasoning or spot errors early.

Meanwhile, Giselle (Year 10 Science) hesitated to express her understanding out loud or use new vocabulary when tackling complex questions, leading to answers that didn't reflect her real grasp of the material.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Zillmere noticed that Genevieve, a high school student, has moved from frequent confusion with fractions to independently answering most questions and explaining her reasoning clearly.

Another secondary student, Zara, who previously needed support with factorising quadratics, now confidently solves complex expressions and applies simultaneous substitution without prompting.

At the primary level, Jade used to struggle visualising multiplication problems but now creates her own word problems and models solutions with diagrams. In her last session, she completed all set tasks accurately and explained her methods step by step.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I have been very impressed with your company and its professionalism. Thanks so much for the time and effort you have invested into Grace.

Oh, we're very happy! Sup is a delight. Seb will, I expect be back up to average in no time and we may well then look at Sup for our 7yo, when Seb finishes. Seb is only slightly below average and at a selective school, so there's not much work to be done, but, Sup really is great.

Thanks for checking. Hendrik thinks Jacob is "cool" and is very positive about the tutoring. We are definitely going ahead.

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 Chermside Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Jabiru Community College.
