Year 8 student Chloe focused on mastering area of composite shapes and basic trigonometry, using worked examples to break down multi-step problems.

For Year 10, Jack revised surds through his classwork and tackled algebra basics as part of a pre-test review.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Mia covered compound interest in the context of financial mathematics and started exploring standard maths syllabus topics for her new course.

A Year 8 student repeatedly left working out unclear in algebra, making it difficult to catch small errors—"setting out her working out clearly" was a focus.

For a Year 10 trigonometry task, forgetting to label steps and not drawing diagrams large enough meant confusion about which values to use.

In senior years, one student relied heavily on calculators for financial maths but skipped writing each step, as the tutor noted: "just needs to label each step when working out financial math questions."

Unclear structure or missed details in written solutions led to avoidable mistakes and frustration during review.

One Bombo tutor noticed a Year 11 student who had been hesitant with trigonometry now confidently working through a past HSC question on her own, clearly explaining each step.

In another recent high school session, a Year 10 student showed a real shift by catching and correcting her own mistakes during algebra problems—something she previously avoided or missed.

Meanwhile, in primary years, one student's summary notes have become much clearer and more organised; last week she independently summarised key points from their lesson without any prompting.
