She is great, lovely and kind. Plus she has the positive energy to deal with the kids. She is generally good with the little ones and has the tactics to keep them engaged. I am happy with her. She gives the right amount of hone work for the rest of the week.Sarah
Year 6 student Elise worked on multiplying fractions and converting mixed numbers to improper fractions, as well as reading comprehension practice using test-style worksheets.
In Year 9, Amelie focused on solving simultaneous linear equations and understanding parallel and perpendicular lines through problem sets.
Meanwhile, Year 10 student Michael tackled quadratic equations by exploring vertex form for graphing parabolas and practiced root-finding methods using the discriminant.
Incomplete homework has been a recurring issue, especially for Year 6 English and Maths—"we too often lose a lot of time during the lesson finishing work that should have already been completed."
In Year 9 Mathematics, one student's habit of messy, hard-to-follow working made it difficult to review errors or revise later; as noted, "the way in which her worksheets are outlined is very haphazard."
A senior student in Year 11 frequently relied on calculators early instead of setting out calculations logically, making later corrections harder.
These patterns led to less lesson time for new material and undermined test preparation.
During a recent session in Malak, Amelie confidently identified and corrected her own mistakes during a test review—something she'd hesitated to do in the past.
Aymen has begun breaking down complex shapes into simple parts for perimeter and area calculations without prompting, after previously relying on step-by-step guidance.
For Elise, she now talks through her multi-step maths problems out loud before solving them, having previously rushed ahead without explaining her thinking.
Last week, Amelie finished plotting hyperbolas independently—a first for her.
