Learning can be spilt into 3 parts. First being simply understanding the content without worrying about exams. Second being revising and coming up questions possible from the content and getting a deeper understanding. Third is looking at the exam questions and how to form the answer to get maximum marks. I am aware of different styles of learning…

Inside UltimoTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Yash explored area and perimeter of triangles, along with multiplying and adding decimals and large numbers, finishing up with some long division for fluency.

In Year 10, Michelle focused on applying the perfect squares method to solve parabolas and used the discriminant to analyse tangent and secant scenarios.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ben worked through conditional probability problems using Venn diagrams and tackled non-linear relationships in algebraic contexts.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student did not complete the assigned homework, which limited her confidence when facing new equation types—"she needed more practice to feel ready with the answers."

In Year 9, a student became stuck on lengthy worded problems, especially when unfamiliar vocabulary appeared; this slowed progress even if those words were not essential.

For a Year 4 learner, confusion between letters like 'b' and 'd' meant she relied heavily on an adult's help to get through reading tasks.

During algebra in Year 8, "he skipped steps while solving," causing hidden errors that required extra correction time mid-session.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Ultimo recently saw a Year 11 student who'd struggled with financial maths revisit her old exam errors—this time, she could solve those tricky problems independently after targeted practice.

A Year 9 student, who used to hesitate when stuck, now openly asks the tutor to repeat explanations if something's unclear and even volunteered to try extra word problems on her own.

In a primary session, one young learner began reading short passages aloud smoothly for the first time once promised regular breaks; before, she'd quietly avoid reading out loud at all.

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 Ultimo Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Ultimo Public School.
