Inside South TownsvilleTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Isaac focused on writing and naming ionic and covalent compounds in Chemistry, as well as practicing chemical equations.

Year 10 student Sophia revised simplification of index laws and integers by reviewing questions from a recent school test, including calculating order of operations with decimals.

Meanwhile, Year 7 student Eve tackled solving algebraic equations and created her own word problems involving algebra to strengthen understanding.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student missed multiple homework assignments and struggled to apply feedback on sign changes in algebra—"she made a few mistakes with sign changing in her homework but has fixed them now," noted one tutor.

In Year 10 science, another student was unable to locate the latest version of an assessment during their session, slowing progress and limiting feedback.

Meanwhile, a senior English student's paragraphs lacked clear links to their thesis, causing confusion when building arguments for essays.

Each scenario meant more time spent retracing steps or clarifying basics instead of moving forward with new skills.

Recent Achievements

A South Townsville tutor noticed Jacinta, a Year 11 student, brought in feedback from her teacher and rewrote her essay draft to address specific points—something she hadn't attempted independently before.

In a recent session, Eve (Year 10) was able to spot where she'd gone wrong on her maths test after reviewing just two textbook exercises, showing real initiative in self-correction.

Meanwhile, Lauren (Year 8) asked questions whenever unsure during Pythagorean theorem work rather than staying silent—a big change from previous sessions where she hesitated to speak up.

Jacinta also handed in her entire assessment for review this week.

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 Citylibraries Flinders Street—or at your child's school (with permission), like Townsville South State School.
