Year 4 Olivia practised addition and subtraction with large numbers and explored perimeter of shapes, also tackling times tables using games.

Year 8 James revised circle properties in preparation for a test, and worked on algebra problems involving fractions.

For Year 10 Elizabeth, the lesson focused on linear equations—including solving simultaneous equations—and interpreting solutions such as one, none, or infinitely many using example problems.

In Year 8 English, planning and organizing written tasks remained a challenge—"Jordan would benefit by planning his writing tasks using the following steps: close reading, brainstorming, and checking grammar," noted one tutor.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student in maths often avoided writing down full workings for algebraic problems; as observed, "he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors."

In senior maths, another student grew reliant on calculators even for simple multiplications (e.g., 3×2), slowing their fluency.

During a Year 7 test review, lack of focus led to missed question details and unnecessary confusion over parallel lines with transversals.

One Reservoir tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 11 student's approach to polynomial equations—she initially hesitated with the rational root theorem, but after breaking it down together, she started explaining each step back and solved difference of cubes problems on her own.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student who previously struggled with grouping like terms became noticeably faster and more accurate using brackets correctly when expanding algebraic expressions, showing improved speed and accuracy.

In a younger session, one Year 4 student moved from quietly guessing at answers to confidently asking for clarification whenever she was unsure, finishing her multiplication tables independently by the end.
