Year 5 student Rudy focused on long division using step-by-step word problems and practiced adding hours and minutes, including challenging questions involving time calculations.

Year 8 student Chloe worked through algebraic expressions—expanding, simplifying, and dividing fractions as well as revising formulae for speed, distance, and time in preparation for an upcoming test.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Rory tackled trigonometry with SOHCAHTOA to find side lengths and angles in right triangles and reviewed compound interest concepts from his recent school test.

A Year 8 student working on algebra and equations needed repeated reminders to show all steps, as he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors.

In Year 11, a student preparing for HSC struggled to apply formulas during problem-solving when her notes were left at school—organization issues meant lost revision time.

A primary student found lining up numbers tricky in long division; messy columns led to calculation mistakes.

Meanwhile, a Year 9 learner often forgot calculators or started late due to technical hiccups, making it harder to practice efficiently. In these moments, valuable learning time slipped away unnoticed.

A tutor in Mount Elliot recently noticed some real growth in students' learning habits. In Year 11, one student started asking for more challenging homework and even told the tutor when she needed help, instead of just staying quiet as she used to.

A Year 9 student who had struggled with algebraic fractions before managed to solve several on her own after working through a few examples together—she now double-checks her answers independently without prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger student in Year 4 created his own mnemonic to master long division and checked his answers by reversing the calculation himself.
