Year 8 student Ruby focused on exam-style trigonometry revision and tackled sequences and series questions, drawing from her past tests for targeted practice.

For Year 7, Sebastian worked through quadratic equations by reviewing a recent semester exam and explored similarity and probability to prepare for an upcoming test.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Christian practised perimeter and volume calculations, using diagrams to help visualise complex shapes and solve real-world measurement problems.

A Year 8 student lost motivation and struggled to extract data when faced with long worded questions in maths, leading to missed steps in interpreting what was required.

In Year 10, one student forgot formulas for circle problems and had trouble recalling content from previous lessons—she needed reminders to remember the general formula for straight-line equations.

For a senior student preparing for trials, anxiety about time caused rushed attempts on exam-style questions, sometimes resulting in skipped working or second-guessing solutions. After setbacks, confidence dropped sharply and errors increased, particularly during unfamiliar or complex algebraic tasks.

A tutor in Tarro recently noticed Molly, a high school student, start tackling advanced exam-style algebra questions on her own after initially needing step-by-step support—she even solved two of them independently last session.

Another high schooler, Ruby, who once hesitated with integration problems, has become much more comfortable rewriting equations herself and achieved a 78 on her recent maths report.

In primary years, Gemma now uses the BODMAS method without reminders for order of operations—a big change from when she'd second-guess every step. Last week, she completed all ten mixed-operation questions accurately and without help.
