Standard Very impressed with the first tutoring session. Tutor was very friendly and helpful and answered any questions that i had. Was surprised with how much work was gotten through in just one hour.Nicole, Bertram
Year 9 student Daniel practised completing the square for quadratic equations and revisited probability assessment questions.
In Year 10, Olivia worked on solving simultaneous equations using both elimination and substitution methods.
Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ethan tackled division of polynomial expressions by linear divisors and solved cubic function equations.
A Year 10 student tackling algebra often made calculation errors when solving for variables; as one tutor noted, "frequent algebra mistakes occur," especially with negatives and fractions, which meant time was spent fixing old errors instead of building new skills.
In Year 11, cramming report writing close to the due date led to rushed drafts and overlooked feedback—reporting earlier would have eased this pressure.
For a Year 7 student, scattered lesson materials in multiple folders created confusion about what needed to be learned. This lack of organization left her unsure where to start each session.
In The Spectacles, a Year 11 student independently spotted no real solution to a quadratic equation—a concept that had caused confusion in previous assessments.
A Year 9 student who once rushed through their work has begun writing out workings clearly, resulting in fewer errors and much more careful problem-solving at every step.
A primary student who used to guess answers now pauses to ask questions when unsure, showing a big move toward active learning. In the last session, this younger learner finished all ten subtraction problems unaided.
