I'm just into my first few sessions with Tavonga, and he's explained and broken down Yr 12 Chemistry so well. He's very understanding and patient to allow me to totally grasp the syllabus.Raina, Camden
Year 5 student Chloe focused on number patterns and algebra techniques, along with multiplication and division strategies using practical examples.
In Year 9, James tackled equations involving fractions and worked through worded problems with equations to strengthen his problem-solving approach.
Meanwhile, a Year 11 student, Emily, practiced determining the nature of stationary points and inflexion points in calculus and began exploring trigonometric identities using step-by-step worked examples.
A Year 5 student showed improvement in conversion rates but sometimes left homework incomplete, which meant time in lessons was spent reviewing missed basics instead of building new skills.
In Year 9 algebra, written work became difficult to follow when layout was rushed—"he squeezed steps together on one line," as a tutor noted—which led to confusion during revision.
A Year 11 student avoided practicing with more challenging differentiation and curve-sketching problems, sticking to familiar examples and missing out on critical exam strategies.
Meanwhile, a Year 12 student postponed summary sheets for advanced integration, making it harder to recall key rules under pressure.
One Grasmere tutor recently saw a Year 9 student who used to hesitate with algebra now ask for help as soon as she's unsure, rather than guessing and moving on.
In a high school session, another student who'd struggled to apply the chain rule in calculus was able to work through several integral area questions independently after extra practice.
Meanwhile, a Year 7 learner who previously mixed up conversion rates managed all her decimal-to-fraction problems without needing reminders and explained her method out loud for the first time.
