JJ has been fabulous so far, he has just the right disposition for Annabelle, he is patient, calm and informative and Annabelle has already developed new strategies and enjoying maths more than when she first started.Simone, Rye
Year 5 student Mira worked on measurement skills, including reading different units and identifying shapes.
In Year 7, Willow focused on solving linear equations and tackling complex fraction operations through step-by-step practice.
For Year 8, Damir covered algebra concepts such as expanding brackets and simplifying expressions, as well as multiplying and dividing fractions using structured problem sets.
In Year 10, Willow often avoided writing out her algebra steps in detail—"She just needs to show her work more, so as to be able to pick mistakes"—which led to repeated errors going unnoticed during revision and assessments.
Meanwhile, Gracie (Year 7) hesitated to attempt all assigned questions, especially in multiplication and fractions, resulting in lost confidence after mistakes. As a tutor noted, "she would be able to build more self-confidence with practice and encouragement," but incomplete homework slowed progress.
In Year 8 mathematics, Riley tried solving complex problems entirely in his head; skipping written working meant he frequently lost track of calculations mid-task.
One Rye tutor noticed Riley now quickly solves linear equations and expands brackets with confidence—a big change from earlier sessions when he'd hesitate over order of operations.
Willow has started tackling challenging percentage and algebra questions entirely in her head after previously needing step-by-step support.
Meanwhile, Gracie in Year 5 used to get overwhelmed by complex place value but is now independently working out perimeter and area using detailed instructions.
In a recent session, Riley calculated the mean, median, and mode for multiple data sets and explained their differences without prompting.
