Standard We had our 1st session tonight with David and it went really well. My son connected with him immediately even though he was nervous about tutoring and didn't really want to do it prior to tonight. After he had his session with David he said it was fun! I was pleasantly surprised to hear him say that and he asked that David come back next week instead of waiting a fortnight! We are very happy so far.Melanie, Jannali
Year 8 student Olivia focused on understanding fractions, decimals, and percentages, including converting between them and revisiting previous skills for an upcoming topic test.
In Year 11, Jack worked through the introduction to networks by learning key terminology, practicing how to travel and draw networks, and then progressed to solving problems using Prim's and Kruskal's algorithms.
Meanwhile, Year 12 student Mia explored critical path analysis—drawing diagrams with and without dummies—and developed her skills in forward/backward scanning to determine project timelines.
In Year 12 Mathematics, a student occasionally overlooked writing down unused edges first in Prim's algorithm—she sometimes forgot to make sure that in Prim's algorithm the edges that weren't used have to be written down first—which led to confusion when reviewing solutions.
A Year 11 learner hesitated to ask questions, so gaps persisted and confidence wavered during difficult recurrence relation problems.
In Year 7, one student skipped regular independent revision; this meant that methods for simplifying fractions weren't retained from week to week.
For a Year 4 pupil, homework was incomplete, so subtraction practice stalled and mistakes repeated themselves across sessions.
One Illawong tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to speak up, but now asks for help independently as soon as she gets stuck—especially when working through tricky network diagrams.
In Year 8 maths, a student who used to rely heavily on step-by-step guidance tackled cosine and sine rule problems independently after some initial practice. This surprised their tutor and marked real progress in their confidence.
Meanwhile, during a recent Year 4 session, a child who'd struggled with fractions was able to spot his own mistakes and explain how he fixed them before moving on to the next question.
