I think that it's important for tutors to be patient and understanding. Just because a child doesn't get good test scores, it doesn't mean that they're incompetent. From my experience, kids can actually excell in subjects once they have the material explained to them in a way that they can understand. Ever since I was young, I have always excelled…

Darren, Figtree

Inside MangertonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Isla focused on simplifying fractions and using the correct order of operations, also practicing how to convert numbers to percentages.

For Year 11, Noah worked through statistics concepts including calculating mean and standard deviation, applying these to his homework tasks.

In Year 12, Natalia reviewed function topics by defining domain and range and practiced transformation questions from her Math syllabus for deeper understanding.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8, a student preparing for an upcoming exam repeatedly reviewed solved questions but avoided practicing them independently; as a tutor noted, "he needs to review the solutions and practice to make progress."

Meanwhile, in Year 11 Mathematics, another student showed hesitancy tackling new problems without guidance, preferring familiar examples instead of attempting similar questions alone—this limited deeper understanding before assessments.

In a primary context (Year 4), one learner struggled to recall multiplication strategies unless she practiced immediately after sessions, leading to gaps by the following week. Missed opportunities for solo revision or delayed follow-up meant uncertainty lingered during quizzes.

Recent Achievements

One Mangerton tutor noticed a real shift with Natalia in Year 10: after previously getting stuck on algebra, she now tackles problems independently and sticks with them until solved.

In a recent high school session, Zane arrived having worked through Chapter 2 by himself—he brought specific questions to discuss, showing new initiative instead of waiting passively for help.

Meanwhile, during a primary-level lesson, Noah was able to complete the "Test Yourself" section with just some guidance, rather than needing step-by-step prompting.

At the end of his session, Zane asked every question he'd prepared and understood each answer fully.

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 Mobile Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like The Illawarra Grammar School.
