Expert Mathematics Tutoring Services

We all know from our time at school that mathematics is layered. You learn to recognise numbers; then you learn to count; then you learn about place value; then you learn to add with each skill, building on the previous knowledge learnt. At its core, this is what makes mathematics easy to learn. However, this is also the reason correcting issues down the track is so difficult.

If any of the basic skills are missing in a student’s mathematics foundation, their overall knowledge base will be shaky. The further their issues progress without correction, the more fundamentally unstable their mathematics skills are. It’s usually these students who end up disliking mathematics and, in many cases, have a life long phobia of numbers.

It doesn’t have to be this way. Mathematics can be rewarding. Being able to get the correct answer to a long and challenging sum can be one of the best experiences a student can have at school.

Our mathematics classes have been meticulously crafted to instil confidence in students and set them up for success from early grades through to VCE. By mastering the fundamentals before advancing to more challenging mathematical concepts, our classes provide a solid foundation for students to build upon. Here are five reasons why our mathematics classes will empower your child, bolster their confidence, and enhance their prospects of academic achievement.

 

Regardless of how well you are currently performing at school, it is important to fully understand how concepts work from start to finish and to be given plenty of support and practice along the way. We teach students through worked examples, allowing them to 'have a go' before setting them a number of graded practice questions and regularly checking for understanding. Students are encouraged to redo questions that have been answered incorrectly to learn from their mistakes.

Our materials are based closely on the current school curriculum, so you can be assured that the knowledge you gain will be relevant to helping you improve at school.

Our tutors recap previous concepts, and time is allocated in each class to work with students individually so they are given the opportunity to clarify any misunderstandings.

Our weekly assessments will give you much-needed experience to tackle tests as well as encourage continuous revision to improve chances of moving knowledge to long-term memory. Along the way, we will advise you on effective techniques to maximise results.

There are many opportunities for high-performing students to gain entry and scholarships to prestigious and selective high schools. The NAPLAN test can provide a good indication as to whether your child would benefit from those sitting these tests. It is an option that all students in the higher bands should consider.

We are proactive with following up on homework, monitoring your results and tracking your progress via our online system (http://myspectrumtuition.com). This way, we are always building on a solid foundation, and you will almost always see an improvement as each week goes by.

As students, your satisfaction is our number one priority. We regularly survey our students regarding their experience in our classes and take immediate steps to accommodate student requests and continually improve our teaching practice.
