Year 6 student Tyler focused on recognising and working with 7-digit numbers, understanding place value, and was introduced to area and perimeter concepts through targeted maths activities.

Year 5 student Sami practiced identifying grammatical errors in texts and completed a variety of maths questions including fractions, multiplication, and units of measurement as part of homework tasks.

For Year 4, Annabelle worked on strengthening her multiplication skills using school worksheets and spent time editing her ongoing creative writing project.

In Year 4, one student often rushed through money calculations in 'shop and change' activities, leading to overlooked details. "She tended to rush her answers with these tasks," noted the tutor, making it hard for her to spot small errors.

In a Year 7 maths session, a student tried sneaking in a calculator instead of attempting mental strategies; after removing it, focus and accuracy improved.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 learner struggled to keep up with homework completion during weeks when unwell, which left gaps that showed up in later percentage questions. These moments slowed real progress on new concepts.

One Niddrie tutor noticed that Sami now tackles multiple homework tasks independently and even requests extra literacy games as a reward—previously, he needed reminders just to stay on track.

Another secondary student, Tyler, moved from struggling with percentage calculations to confidently working out 10% of various numbers by the end of the session, using strategies built up over recent weeks.

For Year 3–4s, Charlotte has started asking for harder maths problems herself and reads aloud unfamiliar words by chunking them—last term she hesitated when faced with new vocabulary but now finishes sets of sums without prompting.
