Inside Mount HelenaTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 6 student Oliver focused on mean, median, and range, exploring how to calculate each for given data sets.
Year 8 student Ava worked through simplifying algebraic expressions with polynomials and tackled factoring using distributive property methods.
Meanwhile, Year 9 student Emily practiced multiplying and dividing fractions and reviewed NAPLAN writing skills by planning out structured responses.
Recent Challenges
In Year 8 English, one student did not complete assigned homework and relied on the tutor to write answers during essay planning; as noted, "she continues to find excuses on not writing herself."
In a senior maths session, incomplete MathSpace tasks limited algebra practice, and in another high school lesson, frequent distractions on a laptop prevented full participation.
A Year 4 student was visibly discouraged by mistakes during spelling tests and shut down despite encouragement.
In middle years maths, forgetting to bring equipment (like calculators or rulers) meant extra time spent getting organised instead of practicing new skills.
Recent Achievements
One Mount Helena tutor noticed a real shift in Ava, a high school student who used to avoid negative numbers and would disengage from lessons—now she confidently solves equations involving both positive and negative numbers without hesitation.
In another session, Luana (Year 9) initially struggled to identify different angles by name but, after using visual aids and guided practice, began answering correctly on her own.
Meanwhile, Addison (Year 5) showed a new level of independence by completing all tasks independently for equivalent fractions using diagrams—even when the times tables were mixed up—and only asked for help when truly stuck.
