Modern History Tutor Seventeen Mile Rocks, QLD

I also think that instilling a sense of excitement and passion for study is the greatest gift any teacher can give.

The maths tutor, Promit has been excellent. His tutoring has assisted my son to increase his capacity at mathematics at school and he is now doing well. Promit is thorough, patient and detailed in his approach to teaching.

Inside AlgesterTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Ed worked on long division and converting between improper and mixed fractions, using step-by-step examples to boost accuracy.

In Year 9, Ruby focused on financial mathematics, including budgeting tasks and solving real-life word problems with ratios.

For Year 11, Grace tackled network concepts such as drawing networks and determining latest start/earliest start times, plus practiced questions from her revision sheets ahead of exams.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student repeatedly tried to solve equations in his head rather than writing steps, which led to "mistakes due to rushing," as one tutor observed; this habit persisted even after reminders and caused confusion especially during algebra and mental maths.

In Year 11, a student arrived at her assignment unsure of what was required or how to plan her approach—she struggled with breaking tasks into smaller steps, delaying meaningful progress on the project.

Another senior student tackling bearings questions often created unclear diagrams, making it difficult to label angles or directions accurately and causing avoidable calculation errors.

Recent Achievements

One Algester tutor noticed a big change in a Year 10 student who used to skip writing out maths working; now, he carefully shows each step and even caught his own errors during long division without prompting.

Another high school student, Ruby, has begun revising independently and completed her revision sheet multiple times at around 75% accuracy—a major shift from relying on reminders before tests.

In a recent Year 5 session, the student worked through tricky two-digit multiplication problems unaided after struggling last term, finishing all practice questions without asking for help.

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 Sunnybank Hills Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Algester State School.
