Mandogalup's tutors include a seasoned K–6 education assistant and OSHC carer with dual teaching diplomas, an ATAR 98.65 high distinction Maths Competition recipient, a primary teacher-in-training with classroom and private tutoring experience, award-winning youth mentors, and recent school duxes and subject prizewinners with ATARs up to 97.9 in maths, science, and English.
The session went incredibly well. Walter is a lovely young man, his personality and approach to his tutorials are a great fit for Maddison.Walter gave great feedback, he listened to our concerns and was incredibly invested. His calm and structured approach really made Maddison feel at ease. Thank you for assisting us to engage with Walter, I look forward to seeing Maddison's results improving with Walters assistance.Pauline
Year 7 student Oliver worked on solving simultaneous equations using both elimination and substitution methods.
For Year 10, Sarah focused on completing the square for quadratic equations to find unknowns and also revisited probability questions from a previous assessment.
Meanwhile, Year 11 student Liam practised dividing polynomial expressions by linear factors and finding solutions to cubic functions, using worked examples to build confidence with new algebraic techniques.
A Year 10 student tackling algebra frequently omitted working, with one tutor noting, "he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors"—this led to repeated mistakes when solving for variables.
In Year 11 mathematics, scattered lesson materials and disorganized folders meant Dana struggled to keep track of what needed review, causing last-minute cramming and confusion.
For a Year 5 student, messy written work in subtraction problems made it hard to spot where errors crept in.
Meanwhile, a Year 7 learner often left homework incomplete and didn't bring the required textbook, so practice opportunities were lost.
A tutor in Mandogalup noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who, after previously missing the distinction between real and non-real solutions in quadratics, now confidently identifies no real solutions and pinpoints past mistakes without prompting.
In Year 11, another student has moved from needing reminders to independently annotating calculations clearly so that their report explanations are now thorough and easy to follow—something they struggled with last term.
Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner who once hesitated with subtraction word problems is now tackling them in different contexts and even asks for extra examples during lessons.
