We were allocated a brilliant tutor, Benju Sharma, who is working so well with my son and his understanding of maths is improving. Benju always turns up on time and is ready and prepared for the lesson. She is good at keeping my son on track and he has actually started enjoying maths! Thanks for your help, we are super pleased with Benju and the huge effort she puts in.Kelly, Torrens
Year 4 student James focused on multiplication and division strategies, working through practical examples to build confidence with both operations.
In Year 8, Chloe practised algebra and straight line graphing, using diagrams to plot equations and interpret graphs.
Meanwhile, Year 9 student Ethan concentrated on surface area and volume calculations for 3D shapes, applying formulas to real-world-style questions for extra context.
A Year 7 student often solved problems in her head, leading to missed steps and confusion during algebra tasks—"more writing as he solves the problems," noted one tutor.
In Year 10, inconsistent formatting and skipping backchecking led to recurring mistakes with hyperbolae and boxplots.
Meanwhile, a Year 3 student regularly mixed up multiplication and addition in written work; homework was sometimes left incomplete or done incorrectly until reviewed together.
In Year 11 English, a student's essay paragraphs lacked clear analysis because ideas weren't organised before writing. These habits resulted in time lost clarifying errors instead of building confidence or advancing skills.
One Torrens tutor noticed a Year 8 student who had struggled with algebra now working through problems aloud and using a new five-step process, showing real independence compared to her earlier hesitation.
In a high school maths session, another student moved from confusion about hyperbolae and boxplots to confidently explaining intercepts out loud—he even performed well on his recent test after practicing this skill.
Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who used to be quiet is now eager to learn, openly asking for help with addition and subtraction, and recently finished all the set problems without errors.
