Year 6 student Ava revised addition and subtraction with fractions, as well as time-telling using real-life word problems.

For Year 10, Jack focused on rearranging algebraic expressions to find an unknown subject and solving financial maths questions involving simple and compound interest.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Felix practiced advanced algebra skills by expanding and simplifying binomials, along with revising quadratic equations using worked examples.

A Year 8 student working on algebra often skipped writing full steps, especially when rearranging equations—this made it hard to spot sign errors later ("she needs to practise clearly showing her working out").

In Year 10 Biology, a student struggled with recalling key terminology for cell structure and movement, so reviewing class notes after lessons was neglected and details slipped away by the next week.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner found telling time to the minute confusing but avoided practicing with real clocks at home; minutes would be missed in every session.

Without these habits changing, misunderstandings quietly accumulate.

A tutor in Gormans Hill noticed a real shift with a Year 11 student who, after struggling to explain her maths reasoning aloud, is now confidently talking through her steps on NAPLAN questions with only minimal prompting.

In Year 10 science, another student was initially unsure about the differences between meiosis and mitosis but can now clearly distinguish both processes and articulate their roles in genetic variation.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who used to quietly guess when uncertain has begun asking for help whenever stuck and even corrected herself on time-telling by reworking the problem until it made sense.
