Year 7 student Devang focused on editing and writing compound-complex sentences, along with spelling commonly misspelled words and reading comprehension using "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets."

Year 9 student Kana reviewed essay structure and grammar, including comma use and identifying run-on or fragment sentences, while also practicing for upcoming English assessments.

For Year 10 student Jacob, lessons included solving one-variable linear equations with the backtracking method and revising algebraic fractions and decimals through targeted practice questions.

A Year 10 student preparing for the ATAR English exam reported failing and planned to bring a photocopy of her test; "she told me she would get a photocopied version of the exam and we could go over it together." This shows openness, but also reveals a missed opportunity to review errors independently before seeking help.

Meanwhile, in Year 7 English, one student misplaced both his homework and notebook, searching for several minutes before giving up. The lack of materials disrupted the session's flow.

In another case, a primary learner did not complete assigned homework or have books ready—prompting was needed just to begin.

One Oldbury tutor noticed a Year 10 student who used to rely on lots of prompting now tackles algebra problems more independently—she even had a "lightbulb moment" working through multi-step equations with just a nudge.

In another session, a Year 8 student who struggled with adding fractions using the lowest common denominator managed several practice questions on her own after breaking down the process together.

Meanwhile, a younger learner showed real growth by pausing to sound out unfamiliar words instead of skipping them and now volunteers to read aloud, something she avoided before.
