Year 8 student Emily focused on solving two-step equations and practiced basic algebra skills such as factorising, using step-by-step worked examples.

In Year 10, James tackled surd problems through classwork and a pre-test, reinforcing his understanding of indices and simplifying expressions.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sarah concentrated on financial maths concepts including compound interest, as well as reviewing tax and wages calculations relevant to her current standard maths curriculum.

A Year 8 student repeatedly skipped labelling steps in financial maths, making it difficult to spot calculation errors—"just needs to label each step when working out financial math questions," noted the tutor.

In Year 10 algebra, a student's overuse of their calculator led to missing negative signs and small multiplication mistakes, even after being reminded to check work thoroughly.

Meanwhile, a Year 6 learner often rushed through worded problems without reading carefully; this meant her final answers sometimes didn't match what the question actually asked.

When diagrams were drawn too small in trigonometry (Year 11), key details got lost and solutions went off track.

A Jerrara tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student who, after struggling with equations involving fractions, now solves them independently and accurately.

In a high school session, another student made a noticeable shift—she began spotting her own algebra mistakes without prompting and could explain how to fix them, which she hadn't done previously.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student showed real progress by moving from hesitation with probability questions to completing her class topic test successfully and answering all the probability problems without help.
