Inside Pickering BrookTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Dylan practised converting percentages to decimals and interpreting two-way tables, then applied these skills to Venn diagrams and basic probability questions.

For Year 9, Tanvi focused on film study analysis techniques by examining themes and symbols in "Rabbit-Proof Fence," followed by annotating poetry for assessment preparation.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Liam tackled linear equations—identifying knowns and unknowns—and worked through practice problems involving index laws and simultaneous equations for further algebraic fluency.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 English, an incomplete research homework on World War I meant the lesson was spent catching up, delaying progress on essay writing. "We had to complete the research first before writing," a tutor noted.

For Year 8 Maths, messy written work and inconsistent layout made it difficult to spot sign errors in equations—extra time was spent untangling steps instead of practicing new concepts.

In Year 6, hesitation and fear of making mistakes led to pauses before tackling negative numbers or word problems; this slowed learning and built anxiety during multi-step questions.

Recent Achievements

In Year 10 maths, Niru, who previously hesitated to speak up during lessons, has started describing his problem-solving steps out loud and now checks over his test mistakes independently—something he never did before.

Meanwhile, a high school student working on English assessments managed to write her review independently for Rabbit-Proof Fence, asking only for feedback instead of direct help.

In a younger year group, one student who struggled with division of fractions earlier was able to apply the concept confidently—even when variables were introduced—showing real progress from last term's difficulties.

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 Kalamunda Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Carmel Adventist College.
