Luke has been excellent with Keagan and helping him with his Y5 maths.Annalize
Year 5 Elise worked on adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators and completed a worksheet on integers, including negative numbers.
For Year 9 Amelie, the focus was on solving problems involving parallel and perpendicular lines as well as simultaneous linear equations, using practice worksheets to consolidate understanding.
Meanwhile, Year 10 Michael tackled trigonometry topics such as angles of elevation and depression along with applying trigonometric relationships in three-dimensional problems.
In Year 6 English, Elise often assumes what the question is asking, rather than taking the time to carefully read through, which led to confusion on comprehension worksheets.
She also left homework incomplete several times, with a tutor noting lost lesson time as a result.
In Year 10 Maths, Amelie's "working out was very haphazard" on her worksheets—this made it hard for both her and her tutor to follow multi-step calculations later in revision.
Aymen (Year 11) sometimes relied too heavily on his calculator early in problems, causing errors when units or formats shifted mid-question.
One Marrara tutor noticed a big shift in Amelie, a high school student, who now pinpoints her own mistakes during tests and fixes them on the spot—something she was hesitant to do before.
In another session, Elise, also in high school, surprised her tutor by outlining every step aloud of multi-step maths problems, rather than working silently and getting stuck as she had previously.
Meanwhile, Aymen has started breaking down complex problems independently; last week he scored 46 out of 55 on his test after struggling with this approach earlier in the term.
