Talking to the students and identify their strengths and weaknesses, and hence support them to improve and reach their fullest potential. I always try to adapt my teaching to the students. I never want to be fixed with one way of teaching…

Inside GilbertonTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 3 student Chloe worked on telling time and practiced adding and subtracting using simple word problems.
In Year 9, Sam tackled quadratic equations and solved related questions in preparation for an upcoming test.
For Year 11, Olivia focused on the unit circle—reviewing key values—and also went through specific exam paper questions to build confidence with trigonometry concepts.
Recent Challenges
In Year 10, one student's lesson showed a pattern of relying too much on memory rather than setting out full working—"needs to make sure she slows down and writes out every step of the equation." This often led to confusion with formulae and mistakes during tests.
A Year 8 student came to lessons without organizing past queries or unfinished assignments, meaning valuable session time was spent searching for problems instead of building understanding.
In Year 4 maths, a student repeatedly counted on fingers instead of recalling times tables, slowing progress when tackling mixed multiplication tasks in class.
Recent Achievements
A Gilberton tutor noticed a Year 9 student who used to stay silent when confused now starts sessions by sharing difficulties, leading to real discussions and faster problem-solving together.
In Year 11 maths, one student was able to work through complex derivatives independently after just a few reminders about logarithm laws—previously, he needed step-by-step guidance for every question.
Meanwhile, a younger student who had struggled with times tables now insists on trying problems unaided and gets nearly all of them correct before asking for help.
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 Walkerville Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Wilderness School.
