Blairgowrie's tutors include a retired secondary maths teacher with 22 years' experience, current and former primary educators with specialist literacy and trauma training, a Geelong College veteran and textbook author, ATAR 99.2 dux with a perfect Further Maths score, accomplished youth mentors, academic award winners, and experienced K–12 classroom leaders.
My daughter has gained so much confidence in Maths since we started our sessions with Louisa. Shes's been able to clearly explain difficult concepts in a logical way so it's easier to grasp and retain. Would definitely recommend.Bree
Year 5 Mira worked on place value and practiced multi-step order of operations problems.
In Year 8, Willow focused on solving linear equations and tackling complex fractions using written steps.
Year 9 student Tom covered graphing straight-line equations as well as applying the index laws to simplify algebraic expressions.
In Year 4, Gracie hesitated to attempt all maths questions in class, especially on long multiplication and division; a tutor noted, "she needed encouragement just to give it a go," which led to unfinished work and less confidence.
For Willow (Year 7), written algebra was avoided—working was left off the page, making it impossible for her or the tutor to spot calculation slips when solving equations.
In Year 10, Riley tried to solve multi-step problems in his head rather than writing out steps; this habit caused him to lose track during fraction simplification and left answers only partially correct.
A Blairgowrie tutor recently saw Willow, a high school student, start solving multi-step equations independently—she used to hesitate and wait for guidance, but now confidently attempts challenging problems on her own.
Riley, another secondary student, made noticeable progress in graphing linear equations; he's begun substituting values and plotting points without prompting, which is a big step up from needing each stage explained.
Meanwhile, Gracie in Year 6 has started asking clarifying questions when unsure about place value rather than guessing silently—a real change from earlier sessions where she rarely spoke up.
