Inside MackenzieTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Will worked through challenging quadratics and binomial distributions from his schoolwork, focusing on advanced problem-solving.

In Year 10, Helena reviewed finance maths by tackling compound interest scenarios and applying recurrence relations to model real-world problems.

For a younger learner in Year 6, Sophia practiced algebra by re-arranging equations to solve for x and simplifying expressions using step-by-step examples.

Recent Challenges

Severely underprepared considering time constraint, a Year 9 student left too much study to the last minute—this led to a visible drop in confidence during practice.

In Year 10, another student avoided writing out steps when solving algebra questions, often saying, "I can do this in my head," but sign errors crept in without working shown.

A Year 7 learner's homework was repeatedly incomplete, meaning feedback couldn't be applied and gaps persisted into classwork.

In primary English, messy handwriting and inconsistent punctuation made story drafts hard to revise; ideas got lost before they reached the page.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Mackenzie noticed one Year 11 student who had struggled with index laws was able to explain them back confidently and apply the rules in new questions, showing a real shift from guessing to self-assured problem-solving.

Another high schooler, after finding Venn diagrams confusing at first, began using them independently to break down tricky word problems.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student who previously needed a number chart for counting managed to reach 200 unaided and started skipping numbers both forwards and backwards on his own initiative. He ended the session by counting out loud without any prompts.

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 Mount Gravatt Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Mackenzie State Primary School.
