Geoffs big smile and engaging personality had us hooked from the first time he walked through our door. His style of teaching really connects with Cruz as he makes Maths interesting for him and we are really looking forward to seeing the progress he will make in the future. Totally recommend Geoff to anyone with a child who is struggling in Maths.Geoffrey Fawcett
Year 9 student Jayden worked on graphing linear equations and identifying key features of functions, including when to use each type.
Year 10 student Mia focused on expanding brackets using the Desmos calculator and revising index laws alongside financial maths concepts.
Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ben completed practice for the OLNA numeracy assessment and reviewed solving simultaneous equations with diagrams to reinforce his understanding.
Repeatedly missing key information by not fully reading questions—"sometimes questions aren't fully read that can lead to errors in working," a tutor noted, which meant marks were lost even when content was understood.
In Year 8, confusion over assignment instructions left one student unsure of next steps until guided, delaying progress.
For a senior student, rushing through algebra led to careless sign errors despite strong topic knowledge.
Another Year 7 struggled with word problems, needing support to extract the relevant details before starting equations; this slowed problem-solving and increased frustration during timed tasks.
One South Yunderup tutor noticed a real shift with a Year 10 student who, after struggling to identify parallel and perpendicular lines, was able to apply the correct method independently by the end of their session.
In a senior maths lesson, another student who previously hesitated to ask for help now openly seeks clarification when unsure, then works through problems until the concept clicks—something they never did at the start of term.
Meanwhile, in Year 5, a student who found time zone conversions confusing last month has started completing these tasks correctly without prompting.
