Year 8 student Alex focused on simplifying algebraic expressions using index rules and practiced expanding expressions via the distributive law, working through word problems to form and rearrange equations.

Year 11 student Emily tackled differentiation techniques—including finding stationary points and points of inflexion on graphs—and reviewed integration methods for calculating area under curves, drawing on past HSC trial questions for practice.

For Year 12 student Michael, sessions covered annuities and geometric progressions in financial mathematics as well as probability functions involving normal distribution, often applying these to real-world exam scenarios.

A Year 10 student repeatedly avoided writing out full algebraic working, preferring to "try questions in his head before attempting to write it on paper or talk it through aloud"—this made multi-step rearrangement tasks much harder, especially when sign errors crept in.

In Year 11 Maths, forgetting to complete homework more than once left one student struggling with worded problems and unable to independently apply new algebraic terms; as noted, "he has not completed his homework multiple times now."

Meanwhile, a Year 7 learner hesitated when rounding numbers or switching between fractions and decimals—confidence slipped each time an answer was second-guessed.

A tutor in San Remo noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who, after weeks of hesitation, now breaks down complex algebraic word problems without prompting—previously, he'd avoid them or wait for hints.

In Year 11 maths, one student finally tackled differentiation questions independently, asking only for clarification on the trickiest steps instead of needing each method explained line by line.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student surprised their tutor by reading perimeter and area instructions out loud and tackling rectangle problems solo; last term, she'd always ask someone else to read the task before starting.
