Year 7 student Sophia focused on simplifying index laws and working with integers, as well as evaluating decimals from recent school tests.

Year 10 student Eve practiced solving trigonometry questions and tackled similarity and congruence problems drawn from a previous exam, with targeted feedback on correcting errors in complex situations.

For primary support, Year 5 student Ayaan worked through converting decimals to fractions (and vice versa) alongside building confidence in basic division skills.

Several process challenges emerged across year levels.

In Year 8 Maths, incomplete homework was a recurring issue—one lesson note recorded, "Sophia did not do her homework given on last session," which led to missed opportunities for feedback and extra practice with BODMAS and percentages.

In Year 10 Science, lack of organization slowed progress: one student arrived without their online textbook open, so time was lost finding resources instead of tackling gas law problems.

A senior English student's struggle with structuring body paragraphs around a thesis ("needs improvement in speech writing and thesis statement formation") meant ideas remained disconnected during essay planning.

One Pallarenda tutor noticed Jacinta, a Year 12 student, come to her English session with detailed feedback from her schoolteacher and a new draft that showed real improvements since the last lesson—she'd clearly worked through earlier advice on her own.

In another high school maths session, Eve moved from getting stuck on complex binomial theorem problems to accurately expanding equations by herself after breaking down the steps together.

Meanwhile, Lauren in Year 8 began asking questions whenever she was unsure about Pythagorean theorem problems instead of staying quiet, and finished all the textbook examples without prompting.
