It's also essential to foster a growth mindset, helping students understand that challenges are opportunities for learning rather than obstacles.

Inside SomervilleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Ava focused on addition, subtraction, and multiplication of fractions, then worked through dividing fractions and ratios using visual models.

For Year 8, Daniel practised identifying triangles and calculating angles before moving on to review quadrilaterals and their properties.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Sarah tackled surds and indices, then revised exponential functions ahead of her upcoming test to build confidence with these advanced algebraic concepts.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student entered the session unsure how to start factorising questions and hesitated when faced with algebra, often "mixing up what formula to use" if steps weren't clearly mapped out.

In Year 10, exam time management issues surfaced: working slowly through long-form questions meant several were left unfinished.

For a Year 4 learner, division concepts only clicked after repeated prompting; homework was rarely attempted independently, as one tutor observed, "needs more initiative to do work."

In chemistry for Year 11, over-reliance on the data book led to missed method errors—extra practice is still needed outside sessions.

Recent Achievements

A Somerville tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to avoid asking questions is now regularly seeking clarification on tricky algebra steps, especially with simultaneous equations—a big shift from staying silent last term.

In Year 8, another student made a leap in geometry by correctly identifying angles and types of lines without prompting after weeks of confusion, even applying the number line for negative numbers independently.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who struggled to complete homework now attempts times tables tasks at home unprompted and recently finished six pages of maths work almost entirely error-free.

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