Year 3 student Amelia focused on addition and subtraction strategies, as well as multiplication basics using visual aids.

For Year 8, Sam worked through linear relationships—finding equations of lines and interpreting gradients—plus some revision on surface area of composite shapes.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Grace tackled trigonometric ratios (sin, cos, tan), solving for unknown sides in right-angled triangles, and practiced applying the Pythagorean theorem to real-world scenarios.

A Year 10 student repeatedly mixed up the gradient and y-intercept when rearranging equations, which slowed progress in graphing tasks.

"He moved everything to one side, but only needed to move -7x to make y the subject," a tutor observed during linear algebra.

In senior physics, another student avoided referencing data directly from graphs in written answers—missing marks despite knowing the content.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 learner often forgot to show all steps for negative number operations in algebra, resulting in hidden calculation errors that took extra time to find and correct before moving forward.

A Kearns tutor recently noticed a Year 11 student who'd always hesitated to ask questions during lessons now actively speaks up when stuck on complex trig problems, instead of just guessing and moving on.

Another high schooler has gone from confusing gradients and y-intercepts to independently rearranging linear equations into general form and checking their work for errors without prompting.

In primary, one younger learner who used to rush through reading tasks is now pausing and self-correcting tricky words before continuing—a big change in focus.

Last week, that same student read an entire new chapter aloud with only one prompt.
