Year 4 Summer worked on using number lines for addition and subtraction and practiced reading analogue clocks to strengthen time-telling skills.

For Year 8 Rebecca, the focus was simplifying ratios from her homework and multiplying/dividing like terms, using targeted textbook questions for practice.

In Year 10 Joshua tackled trigonometry topics including sine and cosine rules, with extra attention given to exam-style problem solving.

In Year 8 Maths, one student struggled to keep notes organised and often forgot to bring their textbook home, which made reviewing homework questions harder; as a tutor put it, "he needs to keep notes in one cohesive notebook so we can go over any questions he was unsure of during study time."

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student repeatedly relied on their calculator for rounding and significant figures but showed uncertainty about when manual calculation was expected.

During senior calculus sessions, skipping steps while differentiating led to small errors that had to be retraced before moving forward with more complex proofs.

One Donnybrook tutoring session saw a Year 10 student, Joshua, who used to hesitate when stuck on maths problems, now openly asking questions about steps he finds tricky and even explaining his reasoning out loud—a big shift from just guessing quietly.

In Year 11, Rebecca started to admit when she didn't understand a concept instead of staying silent; this week, she picked up frequency tables fast after just one example.

Meanwhile, Charlie in Year 4 surprised his tutor by repeating back key questions for prepositional phrases and quickly applying new tips during their multiplication game.
