Standard Josh has got off to a good start with Owen. He is always much happier once he has had an hour with Owen going through his Math. We see it is helping Josh with his confidence. At this point, thumbs up and wish we had done this a year ago...hindsight is a gift.Paul, Wyndham Vale
Year 11 student Aiden focused on mastering the chain rule for differentiation and tackled VCAA Exam 1 (2020) questions, with extra attention to finding equations of cubic functions and using the CAS calculator for graphing.
Year 10 Lachlan worked through advanced trigonometric concepts, including right-angled triangle ratios (sin, cos, tan), exploring the unit circle, and an introduction to solving sine and cosine equations with practice test questions.
For Year 8 Xavier, sessions targeted algebraic problem-solving—solving linear equations by substitution and elimination—and also reinforced geometry skills such as calculating surface area and perimeter through step-by-step examples.
A Year 10 student in advanced maths left multiple questions incomplete on graph transformations, often avoiding written working. As one tutor noted, "he relied heavily on his CAS calculator for basic sketches," which made it harder to spot misunderstandings about graph shapes and turning points.
In a Year 11 calculus session, notes were missing dates and lacked key steps from class discussion—meaning revision was less effective later.
Meanwhile, a Year 3 student's inconsistent handwriting and skipped spelling corrections meant her ideas were clear when spoken but lost detail in writing, leading to confusion during independent tasks.
A tutor in Manor Lakes noticed that one Year 10 student, who previously hesitated to ask for help, now speaks up whenever unsure about algebraic equations—this shift has made it much easier to address his gaps right away.
In a recent high school session, another student who'd struggled with integrating quotes into essays managed to apply this skill independently while drafting a persuasive response.
Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner who was reluctant to read aloud finished the entire next chapter out loud without prompting and even asked questions about tricky words as she went.
