The tutoring with Ella was great - she was a fantastic mix of firm and funFiona
Year 4 student Ben practiced short division and explored the properties of both 2D and 3D shapes, using visual examples for clarity.
For Year 9, Hannah consolidated algebraic techniques such as factorising quadratics and reviewed core concepts in coordinate geometry, including distance and midpoint formulas.
Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sam worked through challenging questions on integration and applied these skills to practice trial exam problems to target weaker areas.
In Year 8 English, focus drifted as "she was talking a lot while we were doing English," making it harder to finish written tasks and sometimes leading to overtime that cut into maths practice.
A Year 10 student repeatedly needed prompting when tired, with missed homework compounding the challenge of retaining new material.
In senior years, feedback on trial exams for Advanced Maths highlighted little mistakes that remained unaddressed; as one tutor noted, "needs to work on cleaning up little mistakes to maximise her marks." In these moments, valuable time slipped by chasing corrections instead of consolidating deeper skills.
One tutor in Cumberland Reach noticed a big shift with a Year 11 student who, after weeks of uncertainty with trigonometry, started asking for extra practice questions and was able to apply the concepts independently during their session.
Another high schooler, previously hesitant to connect topics across modules, surprised her tutor by creating her own example to show how two areas linked together—something she'd avoided before.
In primary, one student who struggled with multi-step word problems now approaches multiplication and division questions methodically, finishing all parts without reminders or prompts from the tutor.
