Standard Alex is a natural teacher. He has a particular knack of being able to explain things in many different ways until the student gets it! He does this in a kind and caring way, building the students confidence.Rebecca
Year 6 student Jack focused on fraction addition and subtraction with common denominators, then moved on to simplifying mixed number fractions using short written responses.
In Year 9, Alyssia worked through titration equations in chemistry—calculating molar ratios and manipulating the formula n = m/M and C × V—before revising galvanic cells and redox reactions for her upcoming exam.
Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ethan tackled factorisation of polynomials alongside graphing linear equations, using practice problems to reinforce both skills.
In Year 8 Maths, he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors—this made it harder to spot where he went wrong and slowed progress on trickier questions.
A Year 9 student's messy handwriting and unclear layout, especially with fractions, led to confusion when checking answers later.
For a Year 11 Chemistry assignment, over-reliance on looking back at old solutions meant less independent problem-solving; the habit surfaced again during test prep for equations and conversions.
One Year 6 student lost focus during reasoning tasks, missing question cues entirely.
Missed opportunities for clear written reasoning meant strong understanding didn't always show up in assessment marks.
One Basket Range tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student who, after repeatedly losing marks to "silly mistakes" in algebra and test settings, began slowing down and double-checking his work, catching errors before submitting practice questions.
A Year 9 student who used to wait passively for hints is now independently asking clarifying questions whenever she's stuck—especially with statistics topics—and even requests extra examples for practice.
Meanwhile, during a primary session, a younger learner started using commas correctly in writing exercises without reminders, having previously needed constant prompting.
