I…

Identifying a student's weaknesses and strengths not only in a subject but in their general approach to life is very important. Honing strengths and working on weaknesses will allow tutors to tap into a student's potential.

One of the most important things that a tutor can do for a student is understanding and respecting them.

Inside ColytonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Aiden reviewed simplifying ratios and tackled a range of ratio word problems, including real-life examples.

Year 9 student Emily worked on solving linear equations and interpreting box-and-whisker plots using recent class data sets.

For Year 10, Sarah focused on calculating income tax and Medicare levy in financial mathematics, followed by applying tree diagrams to solve probability scenarios drawn from textbook exercises.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student's written work in algebra often missed steps, making it hard to trace errors—"she doesn't write down all the steps of her working out," noted a tutor. This led to difficulty checking answers and building confidence with substitution and equations.

In Year 10, another student relied heavily on entering equations into the calculator but made input errors when not talking through their process aloud.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 learner sometimes rushed question reading and struggled to pick out what was needed, which meant misinterpreting key parts of worded maths problems during practice sessions.

Recent Achievements

In Colyton, a Year 11 student made a significant leap by moving from relying on hints to independently checking her own work after each problem. This shift was especially notable when tackling trigonometry formulas, an area where she previously hesitated.

During a Year 9 session, a student who once guessed at ratio problems began openly asking for clarification. After seeking help, the student successfully explained why specific ratios were applied in context, showing deeper understanding.

A Year 4 learner who used to skip steps now writes out all their working for every maths question. This consistent approach has led to fewer mistakes and greater accuracy overall.

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 St Marys Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Colyton High School.
