Year 4 student Sarah worked on place value concepts and practiced fraction skills using visual aids.

In Year 7, Liam focused on factorisation techniques and expanding algebraic expressions through step-by-step examples.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Mia tackled trigonometry problem-solving (including finding angles and sides) and reviewed key methods for solving simultaneous equations.

A Year 3 student hesitated to show working for division and multiplication, often relying on finger counting instead of clear written steps—"she needs to stop hiding her process," as a tutor noted, especially when confused by larger numbers.

In Year 6, another student struggled to stay focused during sessions, frequently distracted by her Chromebook and jumping between tasks when faced with new rounding concepts.

A Year 10 student froze at the start of algebra assignments, reporting mental blanks until prompted differently.

In senior years, confidence dips led one learner to second-guess even correct answers on trigonometry questions, delaying progress and deepening anxiety in tests.

One Port Willunga tutor noticed a big change in Lara, a high school student, who now pinpoints her own mistakes during exams and asks for help only when truly needed—she recently completed a practice test with 100% accuracy and minimal assistance, which is a huge step from relying on constant guidance.

Ciana, also in high school, has started tackling simultaneous equations more independently; she's gone from needing reminders to now recalling index laws and applying them correctly in homework.

Meanwhile, Nicole (primary) made a jump from 0% to 75% on her rounding skills test after learning new strategies and practicing regularly at home.
