Year 4 student Jonathon practised reading tables and graphs, including picture graphs and two-way tables, then worked on using conjunctions in sentences.

In Year 9, Vangie focused on algebraic techniques such as rearranging equations to make a chosen variable the subject and applied these skills to questions involving trapezium dimensions.

For Year 11, Amaan tackled polynomials and learned to apply the quadratic formula through targeted examples from his current schoolwork.

A Year 8 student struggled to show working consistently in algebra and trigonometry, as a tutor observed: "He needs to be disciplined when showing working for a question," which sometimes meant marks were lost even when answers were correct.

In Year 11 English, slow linking of ideas led to time management issues during short-answer analysis.

For a younger student (Year 4), handwriting remained difficult—writing on regular lines was much messier than on practice sheets, making it hard to read his work.

During senior maths revision, one Year 10 student relied heavily on looking back through notes rather than recalling processes independently, slowing progress.

One Mount Vernon tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to rush through algebra tests now taking time to check his work, spotting and fixing minor mistakes without prompting.

In Year 10, another student initially struggled with using the sine and cosine rules for triangles but last week solved multi-step problems independently, even explaining why each step made sense.

Meanwhile, a younger student in Year 4 who previously hesitated to read aloud is now volunteering to summarise stories after reading them, showing clear progress in both fluency and willingness to engage.
