Since the v first session with Radu, we were all totally hooked! He is not just the BEST tutor but the most amazing person. Radu has the ability to calmly install confidence into his students and ensure that they fully understand all the concepts, not just learn them. He is kind, professional and a honest joy to have around ??Jasmine Jones, Westlake
Year 4 student Cara focused on consolidating times tables (4, 6, 7, 8, and 9) through oral quizzes and practiced converting between decimals, percentages, and fractions.
Year 11 student Sanvi worked on binomial probability (including mean and standard deviation for discrete random variables) and tackled calculus problems involving differentiation of logarithmic functions using the chain rule.
Meanwhile, Year 12 student Alex reviewed integration by substitution in the context of probability density functions and revised polynomial division alongside applications of the factor theorem.
In Year 11 Maths, several students hesitated to set out their reasoning clearly in integration and probability questions—one tutor noted, "he skipped stating 'by product rule' in test working," which made justifying answers harder.
In a Year 9 Chemistry session, the analysis section was left unfinished and required better organization before moving on.
For a Year 4 student, forgetting to keep a homework notebook meant tasks were often missed or incomplete.
During advanced trigonometry (Year 12), relying heavily on calculators for standard values led to gaps when tackling unfamiliar problems without technology in assessments.
One Riverhills tutor noticed a Year 11 student who, after struggling with integration by substitution, now independently applies the method to tackle unfamiliar calculus problems.
In another session, a high schooler working on chemistry assignments has started her work early for the first time and is now connecting concepts across topics without prompting—a big shift from previously leaving tasks until the last minute.
Meanwhile, Cara in Year 4 has moved from relying on notes for times tables to scoring full marks in quizzes purely from memory and now volunteers to try new problem types before being asked.
