Our daughter has found good value in Tom and what she feels she was missing in the subject before now. So far, we are very happy with Tom's tutoring.John
Year 8 student Jess worked on understanding areas of composite shapes and basic trigonometry, including using diagrams to solve problems.
For Year 10, Sam revised graphing linear equations and practiced solving algebraic expressions involving finance scenarios.
Meanwhile, Year 11 student Riley focused on the ambiguous case of the Sine Rule and applied trigonometric concepts to real-world applications such as finding the height of a building.
A Year 8 student working on linear equations struggled with presenting solutions in a clear, line-by-line format; as noted, "the way he structures his solutions needs slight improvement and should aim to keep it line by line," making it harder to spot errors during checks.
In Year 11 Mathematics, another student preparing for HSC finance questions often skipped writing down full calculations or didn't set out each step on a new line—this left gaps when revisiting tricky problems like reducing balance loans.
For Advanced Maths, reliance on memorizing trigonometric results without connecting them to the unit circle meant confusion when facing multi-step exam tasks.
One Meroo Meadow tutor noticed Andrea, a senior student, starting to catch her own mistakes after an exam and actively working out better strategies for approaching complex graphing questions—something she used to avoid discussing.
In Year 10, Laaibah recently began showing all her steps in ratio and rate problems instead of skipping working out; this shift has made it easier for her to identify errors independently.
A younger student also surprised their tutor by tackling a composite shapes question they'd previously found intimidating, successfully explaining each step aloud without prompting.
