Year 9 student Sophia worked on simplifying index laws and evaluating decimals from recent school tests, as well as using order of operations with integers.

Year 10 Eve focused on tackling trigonometry exam questions, including similarity and congruence, and discussed strategies for approaching both familiar and unfamiliar problems.

Meanwhile, Year 11 Isaac spent his session clarifying chemistry concepts such as ionic and covalent bonds by identifying interactions between compounds and determining chemical formulas.

A Year 10 student in trigonometry struggled to explain why cos 55° is greater than cos 65°, with a tutor noting, "she couldn't justify her answer beyond the calculation."

In Year 8 maths, one student arrived unprepared, lacking their online textbook, which slowed progress and made it difficult to reference examples.

Missed or incomplete homework was common in Years 7–9; for instance, several sessions ended with assigned work unfinished or forgotten entirely, leading to less confident attempts at new word problems.

A senior chemistry student also misplaced an updated assessment draft, which interrupted feedback and planning during a critical session.

A Cosgrove tutor noticed real shifts with a few students lately.

In Year 10, Eve worked through complex binomial theorem problems—she'd previously hesitated with multi-step formulas but managed to expand equations on her own this week.

Lauren, in Year 9, has started asking for clarification when stuck instead of staying silent, which meant she quickly nailed the Pythagorean theorem questions that once slowed her down.

Meanwhile, Jacinta (Year 11) took initiative on her English assignment by revising her essay draft based on feedback from both her teacher and tutor before bringing an improved version to their session.
