Inside TheodoreTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Jack focused on multiplication strategies and division algorithms, practicing efficient written methods for both.

In Year 8, Olivia worked through linear equations by solving for unknowns and also tackled simultaneous equations using substitution techniques.

For Year 10, Ethan concentrated on quadratic equations—solving them by factorising and applying the quadratic formula—with attention to when each method is most effective.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10, a student hadn't completed any extra exam revision between sessions—building independent study remains a hurdle. "Jay wasn't completely caught up on the recent classwork," noted one tutor, which led to gaps in session focus and meant time was spent re-covering old ground instead of advancing.

In Year 7 maths, messy written work and skipping working steps when solving equations made it hard to spot errors; as one tutor put it, "formatting of solutions and backchecking needs working on."

A Year 3 student's homework was often incomplete or incorrect but done correctly when supported in person—highlighting a need for more consistent independent practice at home.

Recent Achievements

One Theodore tutor noted that a Year 9 student, previously hesitant to speak up, now confidently asks questions when algebra steps don't make sense and even requests harder problems.

A high schooler preparing for exams took real initiative by writing out problem-solving steps on cards to review later—something she hadn't done before—which helped her tackle simultaneous equations more independently.

Meanwhile, in primary sessions, one student who used to struggle with angles can now consistently measure any angle with a protractor and explains her process aloud as she works through geometry problems.

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 Erindale Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Theodore Primary School.
