Year 7 student Aisha focused on integers by practising addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, as well as identifying squares and square roots.

Year 10 student Daniel revised quadratic equations—finding turning points and intercepts—and explored different forms of quadratics with real-world word problems.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sarah tackled fuels in Chemistry by comparing fossil fuels to biofuels and balancing thermochemical equations, including calculating heat energy released during combustion reactions.

A Year 12 Biology student hesitated to answer exam-style questions on immune system processes, often leaving answers blank if unsure. As a tutor noted, "She shies away when answering questions, so need to work on her confidence more." This led to missed opportunities for feedback and deeper understanding.

In Year 9 Maths, one student had not completed assigned homework, resulting in difficulty recalling methods during revision quizzes; she could answer session 1 topics but struggled with session 2 content.

A Year 7 learner preferred doing calculations mentally rather than showing working out—mistakes went unnoticed until asked to explain reasoning aloud.

A Maddingley tutor noticed a Year 11 student who had previously hesitated to speak up now actively asking for clarification during biology sessions and completing most pre-session quiz questions correctly, especially around the immune system.

Meanwhile, a Year 9 student showed new initiative by reviewing missed homework independently and arriving at sessions ready with notes on Pythagoras' theorem—something she hadn't done before.

In primary years, one student who struggled with fractions began accurately explaining equivalent fractions and simplification steps out loud, rather than just following along silently.
