Standard Tess is tutoring my daughter, Zoe, in Year 7 Maths. Although we are early in the journey Zoe has already gained confidence in her ability. Tess helps her feel comfortable and confident that she can achieve her goals. I am very pleased that I have Tess to assist Zoe and provide her with the support she needs.Sue
Year 7 student James practised simplifying algebraic expressions and explored number patterns, using worked examples to strengthen understanding.
For Year 9, Sarah focused on solving simultaneous linear and quadratic equations and identified families of quadratic polynomial functions by linking equations to their graphs.
Meanwhile, Year 11 student Olivia applied differentiation techniques from first principles and sketched derivative graphs to interpret rates of change in various mathematical contexts.
A Year 10 student repeatedly relied on the CAS calculator to solve simultaneous equations and complex optimisation questions, often skipping essential algebraic steps—"needs to be less reliant on calculator"—which masked small errors that later resurfaced in tests.
Meanwhile, a Year 8 learner avoided practicing more challenging polynomial modelling problems, instead revisiting only familiar content during revision; this limited exposure made adapting to unusual question wording much harder under time pressure.
In a Year 12 calculus session, incomplete written working when applying first principles for derivatives led to confusion over which formulas were being used, stalling progress mid-question.
A Riddells Creek tutor noticed a Year 10 student who'd previously mixed up mark-ups and discounts now confidently applies the correct formulas for profit and loss, even tackling tax calculations without prompting.
In a recent high school maths session, another student who used to get stuck on simultaneous equations is now able to solve them using both substitution and elimination methods, showing real independence by explaining each step aloud.
Meanwhile, a younger student in Year 7—who once hesitated to speak up—has started asking questions whenever unclear, finishing her practice problems on area and perimeter all on her own.
