Year 6 student Amelia worked on rounding numbers to different place values and adding and subtracting integers using number lines.
For Year 8, Grace focused on applying the laws of indices with practice exercises and revisiting algebraic equations involving brackets and expansion, also receiving guidance on managing homework stress.
Meanwhile, Year 9 student Nishta revised financial maths topics such as calculating commission, bonuses, and tax bracket tables while reviewing errors from a recent exam for better accuracy.
A Year 8 student was hesitant to write out her algebraic fractions and rounding problems, preferring mental calculation; as a tutor observed, "Revision has refreshed her concepts," but skipping pen-to-paper working left gaps in understanding.
In Year 10, a student preparing for topic tests delayed practice sums and needed reminders not to procrastinate homework—she missed completing fast practice exercises before the next lesson.
Meanwhile, a senior student struggled to recall geometry formulas during straight-line problems and relied on "by hearting" rather than practicing applications, which meant confusion persisted when new scenarios appeared on assessments.
One Gledswood Hills tutoring session saw a Year 10 student, Grace, go from losing marks for careless errors to earning first place in her class with 91%—her tutor noticed she's now checking her work more thoroughly after previous slips cost her points.
In Year 8, Nishtha was initially hesitant to write down answers but has started completing all homework on time and now independently converts word problems into algebraic expressions.
