Standard Vivian is an exceptional tutor for my 16 year old son. We have worked with her during the school holidays to ensure he fully understands his year 10 math and is well prepared for year 11. She is punctual, polite, my son enjoys working with her and his maths and his confidence with maths has improved a lot. Thanks Vivian.Daryl Mather, Quinns Rocks
Year 5 student Oliver focused on calculating area and perimeter for various shapes and reviewed homework tasks on measurement.
Year 8 student Mia practiced solving simultaneous equations and worked through key problems involving factorisation to build confidence with algebraic methods.
For Year 10, Emily revised quadratic equations from Chapters 10A–10D, using worked examples to consolidate understanding of different solution techniques.
A Year 8 student often delayed starting new geometry questions, which sometimes meant less time for feedback and review during sessions.
In Year 10 Maths, relied heavily on using the formula without always knowing why it works, so when faced with a composite area problem (like a trapezium prism), progress stalled until guided through the logic.
A senior student preparing for OLNA-style exams forgot to bring necessary materials, such as their assessment sheet, leaving both tutor and student unclear about expectations.
One note captured a moment: The iPad was distracting most of the time, even though it was needed occasionally.
One Merriwa tutor noted that a Year 9 student, who used to rely on hints for every step, now independently sets up and solves simultaneous equations—especially impressive given her earlier hesitation with rearranging formulas.
In Year 11 English, Ella, who previously kept her ideas brief during assignments, took the lead in sharing her opinions about film themes and backed them up with thoughtful examples.
Meanwhile, a younger student who once guessed at tricky words during reading is now pausing to sound out new vocabulary or break down base words before moving on.
