DECEMBER/JANUARY 2010
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from everyone at The Online Tutor.
Wow – what a year it’s been! Congratulations to everyone on your fantastic marks in your yearly exams, HSC and SC. Your hard work throughout the year has paid off.
Should I be studying through the Christmas holidays?
For students up to Year 10, now is the time to be relaxing and recharging the batteries for next year. There are a number of fun activities that students can do to enhance their problem solving, strategical and logical abilities without labouring over a text book. Cooking, jigsaws, puzzles such as Sudokus and games such as chess are some just to name a few. Now is not the time to be fighting over homework.
Students in Year 11 attempting calculus based courses may need to brush up on basic algebraic skills if they were a weak 5.3 student. If this is going to turn into a battle ground, then your child may need to question their motives for their chosen course. An excellent knowledge of algebra is paramount for success in the Mathematics and Extension Mathematics Course.
To those students in Year 12 then study during the holidays is an absolute must! Half Yearly exams for most are at the end of term 1 and now is the time to consolidate the preliminary coursework to make studying that little bit easier.
END OF YEAR OFFER
To celebrate the end of 2010, The Online Tutor will give a free $20 iTunes voucher to any clients who book and pay for 2011 term 1 fees by 31st January, 2011. Simply mention this offer when booking your tutorial time.
