Inside IronbankTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 5 student Mia worked through **fractions** and practiced both division and multiplication, with real-world currency examples to strengthen understanding.
In Year 11, Ethan focused on **trigonometric equations** and explored applications within circular geometry using step-by-step diagrams.
Meanwhile, Year 12 student Sarah tackled **integration techniques** and investigated how particles move in magnetic fields as part of her advanced physics studies.
Recent Challenges
A Year 11 student hadn't completed enough revision between sessions, which meant when it came time for his physics and maths tests, he was less confident choosing the right equations ("Hadn't done much revision between our last two sessions so needs to get plenty done…").
In Year 9, a student understood new algebra concepts during lessons but struggled with homework independently—this gap showed up especially when facing unfamiliar problem types at home.
A primary student repeatedly mixed up cents and dollars in money questions; even after practice, these small misunderstandings lingered into weekly homework.
Recent Achievements
One Ironbank tutor noticed a Year 9 student who, after weeks of hesitating to ask for help, started openly explaining how she solved maths problems aloud rather than working quietly in her head.
In Year 11 physics, a student showed real initiative by increasing his own revision time before upcoming tests—he arrived with self-made notes and could clearly outline where he needed more practice.
Meanwhile, a primary student who'd previously guessed at division questions is now pausing to use the correct steps and finished all ten problems without errors for the first time.
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 Stirling Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Scott Creek Primary School.
