Tutors in Koondoola include a Have Sum Fun Maths competitor with a 98.5 ATAR, an Australian Maths High Distinction recipient and Kumon mentor for 30+ students, a seasoned peer supporter and youth coach, experienced private maths tutors with engineering backgrounds, and school award winners in physics, chemistry, biology, and creative writing.
Kaylee has been helping my 9yr old son with his maths. I could see he was struggling with concepts, which was affecting his confidence. He's one of the youngest in his class, but I didn't want him to fall behind. He's only had three sessions so far, but already I can see a change in him. Would highly recommend KayleeLindsey Johnson, Alexander Heights
Year 10 student Aiden focused on arithmetic and geometric sequences, building confidence with both recursive and explicit formulae and connecting these to linear functions.
Year 11 student Emily reviewed bivariate data, working through correlation coefficients, regression lines, and using residual plots to evaluate the effectiveness of least squares regression.
Meanwhile, Year 7 student Lucas practiced rearranging equations to solve for unknowns and applied BIMDAS to multi-step algebraic worded problems for better accuracy.
In Year 8, one student hesitated to write out their working in algebra, preferring mental calculations—"she said, 'I can do this in my head,' but got stuck when signs changed." This habit led to errors going unnoticed.
A Year 11 student avoided attempting complex finance questions and relied heavily on routines shown by the tutor rather than breaking down new problems independently.
In a Year 5 session, confusion about division with fractions meant steps were skipped or forgotten, causing repeated mistakes.
Meanwhile, a Year 10 student struggled to distinguish between correlation and causation when interpreting data, leading to mislabelled variables during practice.
One Koondoola tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to hesitate when tackling statistics problems now breaking down questions into logical steps and distinguishing between correlation and causation on her own.
In another session, a Year 9 student—previously reliant on prompts—methodically checked their working for multi-step algebra tasks without being asked, even creating clear diagrams for 3D nets.
Meanwhile, in primary years, Jasmine moved from needing reminders to write out times tables to independently rearranging equations and identifying which terms to move first before solving, finishing the worksheet with minimal help.
