I understand my granddaughter is going well. Things are starting to sink in she and she is starting to understand. Her mother seems pleased with how she is progressing at this stage.Margaret
Year 9 student Maddie reviewed Pythagoras' theorem and tackled practice questions on similar triangles using real-life diagrams.
For Year 10, Ethan worked through simultaneous equations in algebra and practised expanding brackets with step-by-step solutions.
Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sienna focused on financial mathematics, including simple interest calculations and strategies for analysing time zones and conversions relevant to travel scenarios.
In Year 8, one student found it challenging to manage time during tests and analyze each question thoroughly; as a tutor observed, "he moved on before double-checking which formula was needed," leading to avoidable errors.
In Year 5 maths, another student regularly skipped writing out every step when borrowing in addition and subtraction—missing steps made mistakes hard to spot later.
A senior student preparing for OLNA tended to misread units or only skimmed questions, which cost marks on conversion problems. In these moments, uncertainty about the process meant extra stress and slower progress through otherwise familiar content.
In Bouvard, a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to show her working now writes out each step and checks answers independently—something she never did before.
Another high schooler recently started asking for help immediately when unsure about algebraic expressions, rather than guessing quietly like he used to.
In a primary session, one student who often found time concepts confusing was able to convert between 24-hour and 12-hour formats with almost no errors by the end of the lesson.
