Year 5 student Thomas worked on double-digit multiplication and solving time word problems involving conversion between units.

For Year 9, Olivia focused on algebraic equations—practicing how to solve for x—and reviewed order of operations (BIDMAS) using example problems.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Alex completed work on Network Concepts and Critical Path Analysis, tackling both terminology and past HSC-style practice questions.

In Year 11 maths, one student's tendency to "rush to an answer" on algebraic equations meant missed steps and accuracy issues, especially when negative numbers were involved.

In Year 8 English, a reluctance to follow a planning structure for essays led to "planning needs to be faster and more concise," but the plan itself was rarely used during writing.

A Year 6 student skipped parts of multi-digit subtraction when distracted by noise, leaving answers incomplete.

During HSC preparation in senior years, over-reliance on familiar revision questions left harder exam-style problems unpracticed—a gap noticed just weeks before trials.

A tutor in Lilyvale noticed a big change with a Year 11 student who, after previously losing marks on exam questions, is now clearly recognising her mistakes and confidently correcting her approach.

In another session, a Year 9 student who used to stay quiet when confused has started asking clarifying questions whenever something doesn't make sense, showing real initiative and self-awareness.

Meanwhile, one of the younger students finally gave long division a try instead of skipping it like before and managed to spot trends in her answers all by herself.
