Year 5 student Elise worked on simplifying and adding fractions with different denominators, as well as tackling a reading comprehension worksheet to boost written responses.

For Year 9, Amelie reviewed the use of surds and scientific notation in maths, including practice problems involving indices and exponential relationships.

In Year 10, Michael focused on solving simultaneous linear equations and explored how parallel and perpendicular lines are represented algebraically, using worksheets for hands-on application.

In Year 6 English, one student repeatedly left homework unfinished and often arrived without necessary materials, meaning lesson time was lost to catching up instead of building new skills. "We too often lose a lot of time during the lesson finishing work that should have already been completed."

In Year 10 Mathematics, messy or incomplete working—such as skipping steps and relying on mental calculations—led to sign errors and lost marks in tests.

Another senior student's tendency to go straight to calculators before outlining reasoning made revision difficult later on. These habits resulted in confusion during multi-step problems and missed opportunities for feedback.

One Rapid Creek tutoring session saw a high school student, Amelie, who previously second-guessed herself with quadratic problems, now approach them confidently and independently—she even identified errors in her test and corrected them on her own.

Another win came from Aymen, also in high school, who recently broke down complex composite shapes into simpler parts for perimeter calculations without prompting—a big shift from relying on step-by-step guidance before.

Meanwhile, Elise in year 5 is no longer hesitant to ask for help; she now openly outlines each step aloud when tackling multi-step maths problems and completed her last worksheet with detailed working shown throughout.
