Year 6 student Evangeline practised identifying and drawing different types of angles before beginning algebra basics, focusing on using clear working for each step.

For Year 9, Jessica worked through trigonometry applications including Sine and Cosine Rules and interpreting the unit circle.

Meanwhile, a Year 11 student revised operations with complex numbers—such as finding conjugates—and solved quadratic equations involving complex solutions.

A Year 10 student's notes in algebra and index laws were often messy or incomplete, which made reviewing mistakes difficult—one tutor commented, "I left one of my old exercise books with him to show how I took notes."

In Year 7 maths, forgetting the exercise book or not bringing textbooks meant extra lesson time was spent improvising rather than consolidating skills.

A recurring pattern in senior physics was only backchecking answers when prompted; this slowed test preparation and led to repeated calculation errors during practice.

In each case, missing homework or untidy written work directly limited progress in class and at home.

One Delahey tutoring session saw a Year 7 student, Evangeline, who had previously hesitated to write her own notes, independently prepare a summary sheet for an upcoming test and explain each point in her own words.

Meanwhile, Kristian in Year 10 began using a new exercise book as suggested by his tutor—dividing it for notes and practice problems—and has kept up this organised approach during the holidays instead of putting maths aside.

Another high schooler started catching their own calculation errors out loud before the tutor could step in, a shift from earlier sessions where mistakes would go unnoticed.
