Year 12 student Amy worked through the introduction to complex numbers, including operations with conjugates and modulus, converting between polar and Cartesian forms, and applying the triangle inequality.

Year 10 student Daniel focused on surds and indices—simplifying expressions with fractional powers—and expanded into scientific notation by practising unit conversions and expressing large or small numbers accurately.

For Year 8, Ethan explored volume calculations for prisms and cylinders alongside a review of factoring binomial expressions, using diagrams to visualise how formulas are applied in real-world contexts.

In Year 10 Maths, a student's working was difficult to follow—he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors—making solutions unclear for both himself and the marker.

A Year 8 student often guessed answers under time pressure in negative number questions rather than writing calculations out, leading to confusion and lost marks.

In senior English (Year 11), a reluctance to proofread essays meant awkwardly long sentences were left uncorrected before submission.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 learner regularly forgot to complete homework on time, leaving gaps when revising previous topics in lessons.

A tutor in Elrington noticed a big shift for one Year 10 student who previously hesitated to participate—she now leads problem-solving discussions and volunteers new strategies before being prompted.

In a recent high school English session, another student tackled essay planning independently, confidently choosing relevant quotes and linking them to themes without relying on the tutor's prompts—a real change from earlier sessions where he needed step-by-step guidance.

Meanwhile, a primary student who used to guess through multiplication tables is now verbalising her reasoning out loud and double-checking answers before moving on, showing genuine ownership of her work.
