Seamus has been great for our 7 year old son. He has gone from no interest in maths to actually asking if he can have more lessons. Seamus is easy to approach and takes the time to understand the issues with learning rather than just applying a checklist and ticking boxes. I highly recommend Seamus.Michael
Year 4 student Lauren worked on multiple digit multiplication strategies and prepared for an upcoming test using practice questions.
For Year 8, Alex revised rates and ratios in preparation for a school assessment and tackled advanced area problems with multi-step worded examples.
Meanwhile, Year 10 student Sam focused on graphing linear equations by hand and with technology, and reviewed trigonometric identities to strengthen algebraic manipulation skills.
A Year 11 student struggled to apply the correct formula in multi-step algebra, as one tutor noted, "he tripped up on edge cases where negative signs flipped," which led to errors carrying through calculations.
Meanwhile, a Year 8 student frequently guessed answers in probability exercises instead of reasoning them out, resulting in frustration and lost confidence when solutions didn't match expectations.
In primary years, guessing rather than working through number problems slowed progress—especially when distractions or nerves set in.
On one occasion, attempts to change the subject from homework showed how low self-esteem can impact focus and completion.
A tutor in Angle Park noticed a big shift with Georgia, who usually put off assignments but this week finished one before the due date and was able to talk through her own stress triggers—something she'd struggled with in the past.
In high school maths, another student who previously relied on rote memorisation started breaking down multi-step problems independently, choosing which formulas to use without prompting.
Meanwhile, Portia moved from feeling anxious about times tables to confidently chanting them out loud, using this routine to tackle sums like 4Ă—7 without freezing up for the first time.
