Outstanding Going amazingly! Tayla had an online lesson on Monday, but still went really well! Isabella is going above and beyond. We're so grateful that you have introduced us to her!Jacqui, Walkerville
Year 4 student Naba worked on identifying and writing ordinal numbers as words, along with using essential basic words in sentences to boost reading and writing fluency.
Year 8 student Daniel focused on solving linear equations in algebra and applied the Pythagoras theorem to geometry problems, often working through example questions together for clarity.
Meanwhile, Year 10 student Sarah completed revision on quadratic equations and tackled probability worksheets, ensuring strong understanding by practising a range of worded problems from recent assessments.
In Year 10 mathematics, a recurring challenge has been translating worded problems into equations—one tutor noted, "he gets tangled in his thoughts when the answer is there, but gets lost in the process," especially during algebra and multi-step reasoning. This habit led to incomplete written working and confusion between operations, slowing progress.
In Year 4, not reading questions carefully resulted in misunderstanding fraction word problems until they were read aloud together; this meant correct answers only came after significant prompting.
For a Year 1 student, messy number writing made her work difficult to read and occasionally unreadable—extra time was spent correcting basic presentation instead of moving forward.
One Joslin tutor noticed a high school student who previously struggled with fractions was able to tackle new problems accurately during their session, even managing a bonus question with minimal help—a big shift from earlier lessons where he'd often get stuck.
Another secondary student has begun to explain her reasoning in probability questions rather than just giving answers, showing she's thinking through the steps instead of guessing.
In primary years, Naba is now reading and writing numbers up to 100 confidently on her own, after needing frequent guidance before; today she completed all number-writing activities without any errors.
