Brianna is lovely. She is working with our daughter, running through the basics to help build her confidence, and is adapting her lessons to match what's being taught at school. She is personable, friendly, on time and really helping our daughter.Louise Faulkner
Year 9 Tiffany completed a diagnostic assessment to pinpoint areas needing support in the Year 9 maths curriculum.
In Year 10, Lucy worked through financial mathematics topics such as calculating weekly salary and understanding gross versus net pay, while also practicing essay structure for English.
For Year 11, Sam focused on trigonometry concepts including bearings and triangle area calculations, as well as reviewing z-scores—all reinforced with practice questions accessed via OneNote.
In Year 11, one student relied heavily on formula sheets during Normal Distribution problems, hesitating to recall key steps without prompts; as a tutor noted, "he paused whenever a trick question appeared unless the formula was right in front of him."
Meanwhile, a Year 8 learner left several algebra worksheets incomplete and struggled to keep notes organised—missing pages made it difficult to revisit feedback or track errors.
In Year 3 maths, skipping written working for times tables led to confusion when numbers went beyond thousands.
During senior exam prep, late arrivals and rushed starts meant less time for targeted HSC question practice.
A Fassifern tutor noticed that a Year 11 student who used to struggle with multi-step financial maths questions is now able to interpret complex worded problems independently, even catching simple mistakes and showing all his working.
Another recent session saw a high schooler start openly asking for help when stuck on indices, instead of staying quiet—she's now explaining her reasoning out loud and tackling exponent questions more confidently.
Meanwhile, a Year 3 student managed to score 100% across all subjects covered in one lesson and went further by successfully adding and subtracting much larger numbers than before.
