Year 4 student Chloe focused on rapid recall of multiplication facts (including 3s, 4s, and up to 12s) using quick quizzes and games, as well as improving accuracy with long addition and subtraction through timed worksheets.

Year 9 student Alex tackled algebraic factorisation methods such as difference of two squares and trinomials, alongside practicing expanding brackets and revisiting key terminology for quadratic equations.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Grace worked on trigonometry skills including finding unknown angles in triangles and solving worded problems, along with reviewing simultaneous equations using both substitution and elimination techniques.

A Year 9 student expressed anxiety starting maths assignments, sometimes freezing up: "She gets a mental blank and just sits there."

In senior grades, lack of confidence led to hesitancy during algebra or trigonometry, with students often second-guessing themselves even after correct answers.

One tutor noted that incomplete working was common in Year 8—"she must work on showing her working out"—making it hard to identify mistakes.

In primary years, a Year 5 struggled to stay focused, often reaching for her laptop instead of completing times tables drills. This meant lessons would stall as attention drifted away from core practice.

One Mclaren Flat tutor recently noticed a big shift in Lara, a high school student, who now asks questions as soon as she hits a stumbling block—whereas she used to quietly struggle through.

Ciana, also in high school, completed a practice test independently and achieved 100% on her own, only seeking help once or twice rather than relying on step-by-step guidance.

In a primary session, Nicole tackled her rounding skills: after starting with no correct answers on her pre-assessment, she scored 75% on latest test and could explain her reasoning aloud without prompting.
