Biology Tutor Mount Tarampa, QLD
As above, affirming their limitations JUST AS MUCH as their strengths - affirm, affirm, affirm! I believe the most fundamental truth is found in admitting and celebrating weakness. I would prioritise my strengths as: - enthusiasm - pedantic attention to detail - strong synthesising skills and understanding across a wide range of…

Washim has been great. Josephine received C/D marks last semester for Maths and has achieved an A- and a B+ for her most recent exams this term so her time with Washim has been very helpful.

Inside LockroseTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Cale focused on using Pythagoras' theorem and trigonometric ratios like sine to solve geometry problems involving perimeters, circumferences, and areas of 2D shapes.

For Year 7, Mia worked through adding and subtracting decimals and explored different methods for tackling maths problems to find what suits her learning style best.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Emily concentrated on interpreting bivariate data in class assessments and developed critical thinking by analysing dependent and independent variables in real-world contexts.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student lost a major maths assignment due to computer saving issues, which led to a significant grade drop; as the tutor observed, "he will need to change the way he saves his documents."

In Year 11 maths, gaps in note-taking meant important formulas weren't easily recalled during revision.

Another senior student's algebra practice revealed that when she didn't write out steps, sign errors went unnoticed and corrections were missed.

A Year 8 student, feeling tired after school, struggled to maintain focus during grammar tasks—resulting in incomplete or disorganized written work by session's end.

Recent Achievements

A Lockrose tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student, previously hesitant to ask for clarification, now openly seeking help when stuck on schoolwork—showing real initiative compared to last term's reluctance.

In high school maths, another student who had struggled with algebra is now double-checking her solutions and identifying her own mistakes before the tutor points them out.

For a younger learner, getting into the habit of writing out working steps in traditional form was a breakthrough, as he used to skip this process entirely; last session he finished all his exam revision questions using full written methods.

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 Lowood Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Lockrose State School.
