I think a lot of the more important parts of tutoring is involved in the study technique and supporting students to find the motivation in themselves to study and do the work.

Inside IslingtonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Tyler worked through addition and subtraction of decimals and fractions, practiced rounding numbers, and prepared for a grading exam by tackling multiplying decimals using his school maths booklet.

For Year 11, Erika reviewed normal distribution concepts including Z-scores and percentages, then moved into financial mathematics topics like compound interest and depreciation, along with practice drawing non-linear graphs.

Meanwhile, Year 12 Chloe focused on advanced financial maths such as shares and dividends, reducing balance loans, and declining balance depreciation, also addressing graph interpretation within bivariate data.

Recent Challenges

A Year 7 student's maths workbook was "a little more organised and tidy" than before, but messy layout still made it hard to follow calculations—especially in long division and multi-digit decimal multiplication.

In senior years, a Year 11 student's study notes lacked dates and structure, with only an hour of revision each week; as one tutor observed, this led to confusion when tracking gaps in Financial Maths and Bivariate Data.

Another senior student struggled to complete assigned homework on time due to difficulty focusing outside sessions, which meant practice with non-right angle trigonometry remained incomplete before quizzes.

Recent Achievements

One Islington tutor noticed Jackson, a Year 12 student, now approaches complex calculus and algebra questions with far less hesitation—recently, he tackled challenging practice problems independently and explained his reasoning out loud, something he previously avoided.

In another session, Erika (Year 11) showed a marked shift in engagement: she confidently asked for clarification on DNA replication during biology revision instead of quietly skipping difficult points as before.

Meanwhile, Chloe in Year 8 completed her entire science assessment without assistance for the first time this term, especially excelling at re-drawing graphs to improve clarity in her written responses.

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 Hamilton Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Islington Public School.
