Lillian engaged really positively with geometry and showed a natural interest in shapes, angles, and visual reasoning. She asked thoughtful questions that showed she was trying to understand the “why” behind each concept, not just memorise procedures.
She sometimes rushes through diagrams or skips key construction steps, which leads to small errors in angle work or shape identification. Developing a clearer, step-by-step method—especially when measuring or reasoning about angles—will help her become more accurate

Lillian approached the revision session with enthusiasm and a genuine desire to understand every question in depth. She showed strong foundational skills across the topics and often explained her reasoning clearly when given the time to think things through. Her willingness to ask questions helped her make steady progress throughout the session.
While Lillian has the ability and knowledge, she sometimes hesitates or overthinks when working under time pressure. She would benefit from building her confidence in quicker decision-making and trusting her instincts more. Practising timed questions will help her become more comfortable performing her steps efficiently without losing accuracy.

Lillian approached square roots and percentages with curiosity and showed real progress in understanding how these ideas connect to everyday situations. She asked great questions that helped deepen her understanding of why certain methods work.
She would benefit from slowing down and practising the method systematically—especially when converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages, or when estimating square roots. A bit more repetition will help her avoid skipping steps and improve her accuracy.

During revision, Lillian showed strong determination and was very receptive to feedback. She enjoyed breaking down difficult questions and wasn’t afraid to ask for help when she needed more clarity. Her ability to recall key concepts improved as the session went on.
Lillian needs to focus on organising her working and following a consistent method across different topics. She sometimes mixes steps from one type of problem with another, so more repetition and structured practice will help her feel more confident and secure.
