Year 10 student Lucy revised trigonometric concepts and tackled algebraic techniques with a focus on simultaneous equations, using summary sheets to clarify key formulas.

For Year 12, Daniel completed the 2023 HSC Mathematics exam paper before moving onto his school trial paper, reinforcing problem-solving for common HSC question types.

Meanwhile, Year 7 student Ethan practised creating and interpreting pie charts—using a protractor for angles—and worked through division problems and numerical patterns in maths.

In Year 11 Advanced Maths, one student relied heavily on mental calculations during non-linear equations, leading to confusion when sketching hyperbolas and cubics—he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors.

In Year 8 English, a lack of planning and minimal proofreading meant creative writing pieces missed clarity and persuasive tone.

A Year 5 student often guessed answers under time pressure instead of writing out working for negative number questions, causing repeated errors.

For Year 7 Science assignments, messy written work and incomplete diagrams made it hard to check understanding, especially with surface area topics.

One Richmond Vale tutor recently noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who had always hesitated to ask for help—now, he openly checks his understanding on tricky algebra before moving forward, which is helping him avoid old calculation errors.

In another session, a Year 12 student worked through complex financial maths problems independently and explained each step aloud—a first after weeks of silent working and missed marks.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student surprised her tutor by not only rounding whole numbers without prompts but also confidently talking through her reasoning out loud as she solved new questions.
