Year 7 student Jalen worked on algebraic expressions, including expanding brackets and solving one- and two-step equations, as well as practising multiplication and division of fractions.

In Year 10, Callum focused on trigonometry—specifically the sine and cosine rules—and reviewed scientific notation and significant figures using past exam questions.

For Year 5, Mia practised rounding numbers to the nearest five cents and completed exercises in proper versus common nouns, along with squared number sums.

In Year 8 maths, one student forgot to complete assigned homework, leading to less opportunity for feedback and consolidation—Bentley forgot to do his homework and seemed a bit tired and lacked motivation for his tutoring today.

Messy handwriting appeared repeatedly in Year 5 English tasks, making written responses difficult to read; a tutor observed, her writing was very large, messy and hard to read on an acrostic poem sheet.

In Year 11, difficulties with planning written assignments emerged: although the student had the right information for her report, she struggled to organize ideas until note-taking strategies were explicitly taught.

One Redcliffe tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 8 student, Jalen, who used to make frequent mistakes when expanding single brackets but now checks his homework carefully and consistently gets these problems right.

In another recent session, a high schooler named Callum surprised himself by working through all the textbook questions on logarithms with minimal support—last term, he'd often hesitated on those.

Meanwhile, an upper primary student who once kept quiet during maths lessons has started speaking up when stuck instead of guessing, recently asking for help on tricky fractions before solving them together.
