Inside LyonsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Tom worked on addition and subtraction of fractions, as well as converting between proper and improper fractions using visual examples.

For Year 10, Sarah focused on graphing and manipulating parabolas along with factorising and expanding quadratics to strengthen her algebraic fluency.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Daniel tackled trigonometric identities through targeted exercises and also reviewed the unit circle and trig functions for upcoming assessments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student faced time management issues during exams, often spending too long on challenging questions and leaving easier ones unfinished. As one tutor noted, "She spent too much effort on questions that she felt less confident in."

In Year 9 algebra, a reluctance to show working made it hard to pinpoint errors—steps were skipped or left out entirely.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student regularly forgot previous lesson content without extra revision at home; this meant re-learning basics instead of progressing.

During financial maths in Year 11, not writing all unknowns before solving made marking and self-checking difficult, slowing feedback.

Recent Achievements

One Lyons tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously hesitated to rearrange formulas now confidently tackles unfamiliar arithmetic and geometric progression questions on her own, even solving for unknowns without prompting.

In a recent high school session, a Year 9 student who was initially confused by translations in coordinate geometry quickly shifted gears—after one clear explanation, he independently worked through new problems with no extra help.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner who often avoided tricky long division now volunteers to attempt these problems first during sessions and recently scored 97% on a multiplication tables quiz.

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 Woden Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Lyons Early Childhood School.
