Provide the student with a safe learning space and supporting the student in their learning.

If a student is not able to understand the concept, a tutor should change pedagogy.

It is not just re-teaching but also re-directing and motivating students in the right direction rather than just solving the questions for them. A tutor can play a crucial role in encouraging the student's ability and confidence to take steps that…

Inside TaperooTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Sienna focused on applying integration to kinematics, specifically integrating velocity functions to find displacement and solving definite integral problems involving motion graphs.

Year 12 student Ava worked through exam-style questions on continuous probability distributions, including checking the validity of probability density functions and finding medians using integrals.

Meanwhile, Year 10 Maddison reviewed indices and scientific notation for her upcoming semester exam, with extra support identifying common errors in past quiz answers and clarifying Pythagoras' theorem using targeted practice questions.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student had trouble identifying which differentiation rules to use in calculus, sometimes "talking out loud through problems" but hesitating to break complex questions into simpler steps.

For a Year 10 student, missed homework and confusion about upcoming quiz dates meant revision was reactive rather than planned—one tutor noted, "she wasn't aware they had a quiz the following day."

In Year 3 spelling, erasing and rewriting words repeatedly slowed progress as perfectionism set in; fitting longer words into boxes became a struggle. These habits left less time for deeper learning or confidence-building practice during sessions.

Recent Achievements

One Taperoo tutor noticed a Year 12 student who used to rush through differentiation now taking extra time to check if rules actually apply, catching past mistakes before moving on.

In Year 10 maths, Sienna came prepared with questions from her textbook and, for the first time, worked through every problem independently before asking for help—she even proudly showed off her improved test mark.

Meanwhile, Esther in Year 3 brought all her homework unprompted and moved up four levels in reading, tackling longer books during sessions after struggling to finish shorter ones just weeks ago.

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 Semaphore Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Ocean View P-12 College.
