Nic has been great for our year 9 son, they work together well and Oliver's marks have improved a lot in the past term and a half they have worked together! He communicates well with us as well.Eliza
Year 10 student Luka worked through expanding and factorising polynomials with different degrees, as well as preparing for an upcoming test by reviewing homework questions.
For Year 11, Ella revised core biology topics including unicellular and multicellular organisms, cell structure and function, and tackled multiple choice practice on osmosis and diffusion.
Meanwhile, Year 12 student Maya focused on mastering boxplots using the CAS calculator—drawing them accurately, identifying outliers with IQR fences, and performing full regression analysis including trendline fitting and interpreting coefficients of determination.
A Year 8 student working on long division sometimes left out the multiplication and subtraction steps before moving to the next digit, which made it harder for teachers to follow her process. As one tutor noted, "it's important to show all four steps so the teacher can see how you got your final answer."
In Year 12 Maths, another student needed more focused revision on significant figures and annuities but tended to only review familiar problems rather than tackling challenging new material.
In both cases, these habits meant feedback couldn't be targeted and confidence in problem-solving didn't fully grow during sessions.
A tutor in Splitters Creek recently noticed a big shift with a Year 10 student who, after previously guessing when stuck on algebra, now actively asks questions about his mistakes and wants to understand the reasoning—something he never did before.
With a senior maths student, it was encouraging to see her finally use matrix recursion relations to solve complex worded problems independently by the end of the session, after struggling with them for weeks.
Meanwhile, a younger primary student who used to freeze up at long division was able to work through several multi-step problems accurately on her own using a new four-step method.
