Year 5 student Mira focused on measurement concepts and geometry, including identifying shapes and practicing basic addition and subtraction skills.

In Year 8, Willow worked through solving algebraic equations and tackled complex operations with fractions, sometimes using visual steps to clarify the processes.

For Year 9, Jayden concentrated on graphing linear equations and explored how to solve straight-line equations using coordinate geometry techniques.

A Year 8 student repeatedly avoided writing out full solutions in algebra, preferring to "talk through" steps aloud—this sometimes led to confusion and missed sign errors. As one tutor noted, "he lost track of his method mid-way and couldn't spot the mistake."

In Year 11, a student hesitated to show detailed working in trigonometry assignments; this made it difficult for her to identify calculation slips or benefit from feedback.

Homework was left incomplete by another senior student, which meant less practice on key skills like unit conversions.

Confidence noticeably dropped after setbacks with multi-step problems.

One Arthurs Seat tutor noticed that Riley, a high school student, has made real progress in algebra—where he once hesitated with linear equations, he now solves nearly any linear equation confidently and can interpret mathematical notation automatically.

Willow, also in high school, recently surprised her tutor by solving complicated percentage problems mentally without prompting; she's also begun volunteering for extra work instead of waiting to be asked.

In Year 3, Gracie has shifted from feeling overwhelmed by place value to independently tackling complex numbers and following multi-step instructions with minimal guidance.

Last session, Riley plotted the graph independently of a linear equation using his own list of x-values without help.
