Local Reviews

Watching my child's confidence improve as she develops her Math skills has been very rewarding.
Tracy, Oakden

Inside OakdenTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Ella worked on calculating the volume of rectangular prisms and revisited times tables for fluency.

Year 9 student Felix tackled algebraic expansion using index laws and completed practice questions on the business applications of percentages.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student William focused on rearranging formulas in algebra and converting numbers to scientific notation as part of his maths assignment.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student, when tackling algebraic expansion, "needed reminders to multiply—not add—terms inside brackets," leading to confusion with signs and incomplete simplification.

In Year 11 calculus revision, the habit of only practicing familiar quotient rule questions meant she missed opportunities to apply rules flexibly in new contexts.

A Year 7 student showed inconsistent attention to unit conversions; missing or mismatched units often crept into answers during multi-step measurement tasks.

Meanwhile, a primary student working on division sometimes left homework incomplete, making it harder to build reliable methods before moving ahead.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Oakden recently saw a Year 10 student who, after struggling to work independently, now completes linear equations on her own and only needs help with fraction-based questions—last week, she solved the final three without prompts.

Another high schooler, previously hesitant to speak up when stuck in chemistry, has begun jotting down key points herself and asks for clarification as soon as confusion arises.

Meanwhile, a younger student who once rushed through maths is pausing to double-check her working out before answering; last session, she caught and fixed her own mistake without any reminders.

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 Greenacres Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Heritage College Incorporated.
