Year 7 student Ava revised algebra, focusing on collecting like terms and simplifying algebraic fractions with both like and unlike denominators.
Year 9 student Jack worked through solving linear simultaneous equations using both algebraic and graphical methods, as well as rearranging equations to make a variable the subject.
Meanwhile, Year 11 student Felix tackled financial maths by practising calculations for simple interest and compound interest, including converting percentages to decimals when solving real-world problems.
In Year 9 Mathematics, one student showed progress with rearranging algebraic equations but often avoided showing working in multi-step problems; as a tutor noted, "clear steps were missing in simultaneous equations," which led to confusion when checking answers.
A Year 11 Biology session highlighted difficulties recalling terminology for cell components—reviewing was avoided after initial errors, making it harder to retain details for later tasks.
Meanwhile, a primary student's times tables revision focused only on the familiar 2s and 5s, leaving gaps with 4s and 6s that slowed down new division work. The reluctance to revisit challenging material left skills fragile when needed most.
A tutor in Abercrombie noticed that one Year 11 student, who previously hesitated to explain her reasoning out loud, now confidently talks through her working when tackling simultaneous equations and algebraic fractions—something she found challenging before.
In a recent biology session, a high school student took the initiative to bring detailed mind maps and targeted questions about genetic variation and cell transport, demonstrating new independence in preparing for complex topics.
Meanwhile, a younger student who used to need reminders for telling time now reads clocks accurately on her own and even finished a full set of time questions without help.
