Jacob has been so patient and exemplary in his ability to assist Emily with understanding and working through maths over the past year or two!Tania
Year 8 student Josh focused on Pythagoras' theorem and solving algebraic equations, along with simple interest calculations using step-by-step worked examples.
Year 9 student Emily revisited key concepts for an upcoming skills test, including percentage increase and decrease, problem-solving with algebra, and a quick overview of index laws.
Meanwhile, Year 5 student Lily completed spelling exercises and reading comprehension activities to strengthen her vocabulary and understanding of texts.
A Year 11 student often left her assessment task sheet and preparation materials at school, making it difficult to plan effectively for upcoming assignments; "he did not bring his notebook to the session nor did he complete the practice paragraph set for homework," noted one tutor.
In Year 8 science, a student struggled with time management during tests—spending too long on tough questions and leaving easier ones unfinished.
A Year 6 student showed hesitation in attempting challenging maths problems independently, sometimes abandoning tasks if they felt "too hard." This reluctance to attempt or complete work led to missed opportunities for targeted feedback.
One Bunbury tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who, after previously needing frequent clarification on index laws, can now tackle indices questions almost entirely on his own and even requests extra practice to stretch himself.
In a recent session with a Year 8 student, the tutor saw her actively using patterns she'd identified to solve times tables and division problems—a new strategy that's helped her move past getting stuck.
Meanwhile, an early primary student who used to hesitate with reading aloud is now not only reading stories expressively but also guessing what might happen next based on character feelings.
