The most important thing a tutor can do is teach students *how* to learn. By helping them develop strategies and habits that build confidence in their own abilities, we give them the tools to succeed independently - beyond our own sessions. It's about long term growth over short term fixes. One of my strengths is clear communication - both in…

Inside JackaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student William focused on practising times tables for 2, 3, and 5 by reciting them aloud and started exploring division as the opposite of multiplication.

Year 8 student revised complementary and supplementary angles, then applied angle rules in triangles—including Pythagoras' theorem—using visual diagrams to support understanding.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Jacob worked through quadratic expressions by expanding brackets and factorising terms using exercises from the Cambridge textbook.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 maths, a student repeatedly left homework incomplete and forgot their school notebook—once explaining, "past test papers have been damaged and can't be brought back." This made it hard to track progress between lessons.

In Year 11, another student completed their homework at 3am but didn't understand the working out until hints were given through Mathspace; study strategies were printed out for future use.

One tutor noted that a Year 9 student "forgot to take notes for half the lesson," so missed key points on angle reasoning. These lapses meant valuable time was lost relearning rather than building new skills.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Jacka noticed a Year 8 student who used to stay quiet now regularly asks for help when stuck and shows more of their working out, making it easier to spot where they're going wrong.

In high school maths, one student recently completed all probability assignment questions independently—something she'd hesitated with before—and even explained her steps aloud.

Another senior student, after previously rushing through tests and missing details, slowed down during a timed quiz and caught her own mistakes without prompting, finishing with every answer checked herself.

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 Gungahlin Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Taqwa School.
