So easy to set up and communication is amazing. I love the follow up emails to ensure we're having the best experience. The tutor selected was perfect for my child's needs and personality. The tutor herself has been happy to accomodate our needs and her communication is amazing. The way she delivers the homework is at an achievable level removing the overwhelming feeling for my child.Cathy
Year 4 student Jack focused on mean, median, and range in statistics, using real data sets for practice.
Year 7 student Mia worked through simplifying algebraic expressions and explored the distributive property to factorise polynomials.
For Year 8 student Lucas, lessons addressed converting between percentages, decimals, and fractions as well as solving two-step equations with guided examples.
A Year 8 student frequently left homework incomplete, particularly when asked to re-draft written work or finish MathSpace tasks. As a tutor noted, "she didn't complete the probability questions set for her," which meant less practice ahead of assessments.
In Year 11 English, one student avoided writing responses herself and instead requested the tutor to do it, missing out on test-like conditions—"she continues to find excuses not to write herself."
Meanwhile, a Year 5 learner often became distracted by drawing during fraction worksheets; this led to gaps in understanding equivalent fractions as she missed key steps and explanations.
A tutor in Sawyers Valley noticed that a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to ask for help with algebra now actively seeks clarification when stuck, especially when simplifying polynomials—showing a real shift from silent confusion to open engagement.
In Year 8, another student who struggled to stay focused during lessons was able to complete all her math homework independently and even explained upcoming topics she'd be tackling at school.
Meanwhile, a younger primary student demonstrated new initiative by practicing spelling and writing sentences on her own during spare time, rather than waiting for prompts.
