Year 6 Greta practised converting between fractions and decimals, solved order of operations problems with mixed numbers, and read from "Platform 13" to develop comprehension skills.

Year 9 Ella worked on solving linear simultaneous equations using substitution and reinforced her understanding of algebraic expansion and simplification through targeted exercises.

Meanwhile, Year 10 Max focused on trigonometry concepts such as applying SOH CAH TOA to right-angled triangles and rearranging equations to solve for unknown side lengths, supported by calculator use for accuracy.

In Year 4 maths, one student often skipped double-checking answers and relied heavily on drawing shapes for fractions—helpful now, but "will become less reliable as problems become more complex," a tutor noted.

In Year 9 algebra, forgetting to show working led to sign errors that weren't caught until checking solutions together.

A senior student in Year 12 specialist maths struggled with applying the cosine rule correctly, misunderstanding when the given angle was relevant; this slowed progress through practice sets.

During English tasks, another student hesitated to express ideas in writing without talking them out first, delaying essay drafts.

One Canadian tutor noticed a Year 8 student who previously hesitated to read aloud now volunteers for character voices during sessions, making her reading more expressive and smooth.

In Year 10 maths, another student who often relied on step-by-step prompting with algebraic expressions began expanding brackets independently, even when negatives were involved.

A senior student tackling exponent laws moved from confusion to quickly recognising how to apply the rules, including in non-standard questions—choosing their own strategy for a tricky challenge problem without needing hints.
