Standard Harry has been tutoring my 13 year old son for a while now and the difference Harry has made to my son's attitude towards maths is amazing. Harry has increased his confidence and understanding of maths significantly and he has made fantastic improvement. I highly recommend this service.!!Melanie
Year 6 student Elise focused on applying measurement skills by converting whole numbers and fractions into improper fractions, as well as tackling a multiplication by parts activity and practicing reading comprehension.
Year 10 student Amelie worked through trigonometric functions and the unit circle, including using radians to determine exact values, while also preparing for an upcoming test with targeted problem-solving.
Meanwhile, Year 9 student Michael revised simultaneous linear equations and explored modeling real-world scenarios using linear relations, reinforcing understanding with graphing exercises.
A Year 8 student's habit of assuming what maths or English questions are asking—rather than reading them carefully—led to missed marks, as described: "she was diving straight into the questions before she even understood the content."
In Year 11 Maths, messy working and a tendency to reach for the calculator early made it hard to track errors; one tutor noted that "he could clean up his working out a bit and make it more efficient."
A Year 6 student frequently arrived without completed homework, causing lesson time to be lost catching up instead of moving forward.
In Holmes, a tutor recently observed **Amelie taking the lead** in identifying her own mistakes during test revision—something she previously hesitated to do.
In Year 10 maths, Aymen moved from needing step-by-step guidance to **confidently breaking down composite shapes** into simple parts and calculating their areas independently.
Elise in Year 6 has started outlining every step of her problem-solving process on paper instead of skipping details as before. In one session, she **completed a full Naplan section** under time pressure with strong focus and accuracy.
