Group Tutoring

‘Maths is Fun’ Group Tutoring and Exam Prep Workshops will focus on building core maths skills aligned with the Australian Curriculum. Topics from the current year level will be presented in an engaging and fun manner with a focus on understanding ‘how’ and ‘why’ the maths works. Multiple strategies for solving the question will be explained, so that students have the opportunity to pick the method that works best for them. All topics can be directly applied to what the student is learning in the classroom, and students are welcome to bring tricky questions from school or university to the workshops. There is often much simpler ways of solving a question, and topics will be broken down in a straightforward manner.

Students regularly provide feedback that sessions are fun and they are enthusiastic about continuing – often they are surprised that maths sessions can be enjoyable. Exam prep strategies and essential skills needed to succeed in exams will also be discussed, as well as addressing common challenge areas for students during exams.

Topics during the sessions

  • Learn Australian curriculum content
    • Content will be related to the students year level curriculum and students are welcome to request topics each week that they are learning in class.
    • Cover a conceptual foundation and really understand why the maths works (to avoid rote learning maths)
    • Upskill on topics that students have gaps in or have struggled with in the classroom.
    • Bring a sense of fun into learning maths – every session will be engaging and interactive.
  • Practice problem solving
    • Worded questions
    • How to approach a challenging problem
    • Methods to break down and understand the question
    • Strategies to convert worded problems into visual representations
  • Exam strategies:
    • Methods of approaching the exam
    • Strategies to complete the paper
    • Approaches to multiple choice questions
    • What to do during reading time
    • Tips if you have spare time at the end of your exam
  • NAPLAN / LANTITE (Numeracy) prep:
    • Apply exam prep skills to NAPLAN / LANTITE
    • Practice NAPLAN / LANTITE past questions
  • Real world application: I commonly get asked: “how am I going to use this maths topic in everyday life” or “why is maths going to be useful once I finish school.” Students are more than welcome to ask these questions during the workshop if they want to know real world applications of maths.

General Notes:

Parents are welcome to sit in on tutoring sessions. Attending tutoring does not replace parental supervision. If a student cannot make a tutoring session or workshop, 24 hours notice is required and a makeup session can be booked. Any cancellations or non-attendance with less than 24 hour notice will still be charged the full tutoring fee.
