Standard Nathaniel managed to engage with both Jeremy and Christopher – I am very impressed that he managed to work with Jeremy for so long, he did very well. Both boys are eager to continue with the sessions.Grant, Macquarie
Year 4 student Olivia worked on mastering the 4 and 5 times tables, using card games to make practice engaging.
Year 9 student Ethan focused on solving simultaneous equations and explored break-even analysis with real-world examples.
Meanwhile, Year 10 student Sophie revised the laws of indices and practiced converting between surds and rationalized denominators for greater fluency in algebraic manipulation.
In Year 3 mathematics, a student often relied on visual flashcards for multiplication facts, recalling answers quickly with these aids but hesitating during oral drills—"she performs very well, almost instantly, when we use them, whereas…purely oral exercises…it is a bit harder." This reliance slowed her independent recall in times tables.
Meanwhile, a Year 10 student left multiple chapters of homework incomplete (e.g., "Homework - 9A, 9B, 9C - All Questions") and struggled to stay organized with revision materials.
For a senior Methods student, incomplete note-taking across chapters led to difficulty revisiting key differentiation techniques before assessments.
A Cook tutor recently noticed a Year 6 student, Evie, moving from relying on her fingers for basic math to confidently using flashcards and answering all the 6 times table questions without hesitation—a big shift from earlier sessions when number patterns were confusing.
In high school maths, one Year 9 student who previously needed help with indices now independently answered every question on index laws correctly during their last session.
Meanwhile, a Year 11 student who tended to rush through problems started double-checking their answers before moving on, catching two small errors themselves in their latest session.
