Year 5 student Eliz revised subtraction and decimals, practised some chance questions, and was introduced to Roman numerals using simple exercises.
In Year 8, Chloe worked through test corrections on fractions—focusing on simplifying and converting between mixed and improper forms—and wrote a descriptive essay analysing film characters for English.
For Year 10, Olivia explored quadratic equations in mathematics and discussed mean, median, mode, and range when interpreting line graphs in statistics.
In Year 8 maths, one student struggled with remembering formulas and "needed to pause mid-problem to look them up," which slowed down progress in multi-step algebra questions.
A Year 11 student relied heavily on the calculator during trigonometry, skipping manual checks and missing opportunities to catch entry errors—"he just pressed buttons without thinking through each step."
Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner's division work showed confusion over order of operations; forgetting multiplication tables made factor questions drag on.
In English (Year 7), another avoided revising spelling errors after feedback, so repeated mistakes crept into her next essay draft.
One Geelong tutor recently saw a Year 11 student who had previously hesitated to attempt challenging differentiation problems now independently solve several chain rule questions without prompting.
In a separate high school session, a Year 9 student—who used to avoid participating in group discussions—began sharing her ideas more openly during English analysis, backing up her points with evidence from the text.
Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who often guessed at answers in maths started pausing to apply tips she'd learned before working through each arithmetic problem and completed an entire set of practice questions with only minimal corrections needed.
