Year 5 student Jayden focused on calculating speed, time, and distance, as well as rearranging formulas for worded problems.

In Year 8, Chloe worked through simultaneous equations and key algebra principles, using step-by-step examples to solve inequalities.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Emily reviewed the binomial product alongside both substitution and elimination methods for solving systems of equations, then tackled more advanced surds questions.

In Year 10, a student struggled to remember formulas for perimeter and area, often mixing them up during revision. "Sometimes he doesn't seem interested or even listening," one tutor observed, leading to missed steps when new concepts were introduced.

Meanwhile, in Year 7 algebra sessions, skipping written working made it hard to catch errors with indices and fractions—mistakes that repeated because feedback wasn't always taken on board.

For a Year 4 student, delays in starting homework meant long addition was left unfinished; coming late to sessions added further pressure. In these moments, the learning process stalled before understanding could settle in.

A tutor in Mardi recently noticed a big change with a Year 10 student who used to get frustrated by algebra, but after working through simultaneous equations using substitution, he now tackles problems without hesitation and his factorisation is much neater.

In another session, a high school student who struggled to ask for help began voicing questions openly whenever she hit a roadblock in trigonometry—something she'd avoided before.

Meanwhile, one of the younger students quickly grasped long addition up to numbers as large as 30 million and invented her own shortcut for adding single-digit numbers.
