Inside DuralTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 Daniel worked through NAPLAN past paper questions covering algebra, graphing, pattern recognition, and probability to strengthen problem-solving across multiple maths strands.

For Year 10 Lukas, lessons focused on manipulating algebraic expressions and solving multi-step equations from both sides, with particular attention to setting out working clearly.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student (no name recorded) tackled applications of geometry using algebra—such as linking geometric shapes to equations—and practiced advanced surface area calculations for solids.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 Maths, one student left a significant portion of school work unmarked—"I explained this would need to be rectified in order for me to help him"—making it hard to identify persistent algebra errors before tests.

Another, in Year 11, relied on mental calculations and skipped setting out steps during induction proofs; calculation errors slipped through unchecked as a result.

In Year 5 English, messy handwriting and incomplete creative writing drafts meant feedback was difficult to give or apply.

Each instance slowed progress: time spent deciphering or retracing work replaced opportunities for deeper learning or building confidence.

Recent Achievements

One Dural tutor noticed a Year 11 student who, after previously hesitating to ask questions, has begun openly seeking clarification when tackling complex algebraic expressions—she now pauses to discuss each step rather than guessing.

In a recent high school maths session, another student who struggled with the logic behind geometry formulas was able to justify how and why different area calculations work, showing clear reasoning in her answers.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who often rushed through spelling tasks took the initiative this week to plan out his story before writing, making fewer errors and focusing on structure throughout.

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