Remedial Numeracy
$90 / 1 Hour Lesson
If you ask a child who the smartest student’s in their year are, they will always reel off the top student’s in Mathematics!
Of course this isn’t necessarily correct, but it does give us insight into how big a role Math can play in children’s self-esteem as students. Mathematics is about so much more than basic numeracy. Weakness with numeracy, most often leads to students having low confidence and learning outcomes in the subject throughout the full High School Curriculum.
Many students struggle with numeracy not because they are incapable, but because they have never properly learnt calculation strategies. One of the big requirements in addressing this is also distributed practice. For this reason, I always work with both a parent and child with remedial numeracy. This way, a supportive parent can be learning the same strategies being taught for the session. This enables the parent to spend 15-20 minutes a day, practicing using these strategies with their child. This doesn’t even need to be a block, in fact, a few minutes a few times a day can be even more effective - over breakfast, while driving them to school etc.
Selective School Entrance Exam Prep
Private School Accelerated Program Prep
$90 / 1 Hour Lesson
Are you planning on having your child sit for entrance exams for Selective School Placement at Merewether High School?
Or hoping for your child to be selected in accelerated or gifted learning programs in their Private School setting?
Tuition in mathematical problem solving and introductory level algebraic approaches, with Selective School Practice Papers, can maximise their likelihood of success.
From firsthand experience, Private School determination of which students should be selected for accelerated or gifted classes, can be unfairly influenced by outside tutoring over purely natural abilities,
Ensuring your child’s transition from Math as basic numeracy to Math as a Science, is grounded in approaches based on logic and reason, can also ensure they have a strong foundation for their Senior Studies.
HSC and University Bridging Course Support
$120 / 90 Minute Lesson
Support for Students across all HSC Courses up to and including Extension 1.
1 Hour Sessions are available, however from experience, the time flies and the extra half hour proves to be invaluable with respect to students feeling their session was well wrapped up rather than rushed.
Sessions can be planned for differing student approaches - Working at same pace as school class, learning ahead of school class or using Tutoring Sessions primarily to focus on topics they have found more difficult/confusing.
Use of sessions to go over less successful attempts at practice paper questions, can also be an invaluable tool in increasing student confidence and final HSC Scores.
Holiday Small Group Clinics
Holidays are a great time to catch up or get ahead. I run small group (6 Student) Holiday Clinics in Cardiff covering HSC areas such as Introductory Calculus.
These Clinics are 2 Hour Sessions at $80 a Session.
Students are welcome to form their own group and request Clinic Topics. and Times.
