He was confident, well prepared and was able to explain things in a way our daughter could understand.Sarah
Year 8 student Ava worked through expanding and simplifying algebraic expressions as well as revising factorisation techniques.
In Year 10, Jack focused on the stages of meiosis in Biology, identifying which parts of the topic needed further review based on his classwork.
Meanwhile, Year 11 student Felix practiced solving linear simultaneous equations using both algebraic and graphical methods, applying digital technology to check solutions.
A Year 8 student struggled to remember formulas and key steps in algebra, often not revisiting previous feedback or notes—"she forgot how to rearrange equations without prompting," as a tutor observed.
In Year 10 biology, difficulty recalling terminology for cell structures meant extra time spent on basics instead of new content.
Meanwhile, a Year 4 student avoided writing out working when telling time with minutes, leading to repeated confusion over clock questions.
In senior years, relying on calculators without understanding underlying processes made harder loan calculations more error-prone and undermined confidence during assessments.
One Raglan tutor noticed that a Year 11 student, after initially struggling to recall which trigonometric ratios to use, was able to solve for unknown sides and angles with only minimal prompts by the end of the session.
Another recent high school win: a biology student who previously mixed up cell division processes was able to clearly explain both meiosis and mitosis, including their roles in genetic variation.
In primary sessions, a Year 4 learner who used to guess when stuck on time questions now asks clarifying questions before tackling problems—this week she read an analogue clock correctly without any hints.
