Year 8 student Sam revised Pythagoras' theorem and tackled area and perimeter word problems involving circles, practising with diagrams for clarity.

In Year 10, Chloe worked on financial maths topics including annuities and compound interest calculations, as well as network theory basics.

Meanwhile, a senior student focused on Chemistry by balancing redox reactions—identifying oxidised and reduced species—and in Maths Methods, solved complex logarithmic functions drawn from past exam questions.

Several students across Years 4 to 11 showed a pattern of incomplete homework, which slowed progress—one Year 8 student "had not done any of the homework assigned either," leaving gaps in algebra skills that reappeared during practice.

In a Year 10 Maths Methods session, missing note organization meant time was spent hunting for past solutions instead of consolidating new techniques.

For a Year 7 student, working was often left unwritten; as one tutor noted, "Still hard to get him to write down every step for problems...but he is improving." This habit made it harder to catch errors early in multi-step equations.

One East Toowoomba tutor noticed a Year 9 student who used to get distracted during maths sessions now talks through his algebra steps out loud, helping him avoid the careless mistakes he struggled with before.

In Year 11 Chemistry, another student has become noticeably more proactive—she's started seeking feedback on assignments from both her teacher and tutor, which wasn't happening earlier in the term.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who found multiplication tables overwhelming is now completing them much faster and even did all her homework without reminders last week.
