I believe that it is incredibly important for a tutor to inspire their student to achieve their very best in terms of their academics. I also believe that a tutor can act as a more relatable source of academic help instead of a teacher; a tutor can provide more in depth help outside the class room. I can sympathise with the students in terms of…

Local Reviews

Ara and Steven are getting on well. I think it has helped just having someone to ask questions of outside the classroom setting. Also getting an alternate explanations is helping her really click on concepts. She is well advanced on her assignment which she has worked through with Steven. Seems to be more confident to back herself as well.
Julie, Hawthorne

Inside HawthorneTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Bella focused on adding and subtracting mixed numbers as well as converting improper fractions to mixed numbers, using diagrams to visualise fraction operations.

Year 10 student James worked through linear algebra concepts including simplifying and factorising like terms, along with an introduction to the power law and compound interest calculations.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Rebecca practised dividing polynomials using long division and began exploring applications of derivatives in real-world problem contexts.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student, when faced with worded problems in Maths Methods, struggled to synthesize learned concepts into clear written solutions; as a tutor observed, "he tried to do most of the work in his head," making it difficult to spot and fix errors.

Meanwhile, a Year 9 student's homework was incomplete due to heavy assignment loads—recent lessons saw only partial tasks attempted before deadlines.

In English (Year 7), one student hesitated to share ideas during discussion, likely held back by shyness. These habits led to repeated misunderstandings and less effective revision time, especially just before assessments.

Recent Achievements

One Hawthorne tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to ask questions—this week, she started pausing the lesson to clarify confusing steps on her own, which helped her tackle tricky algebra problems with less prompting.

In a senior chemistry session, another student patched gaps in stoichiometry after struggling with calculations earlier in the term; he could now complete most practice problems without needing extra hints.

Meanwhile, a primary student who often rushed through fraction work began double-checking answers independently and corrected mistakes before moving on.

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 Bulimba Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Sts Peter and Paul's School.
