Mansi was prompt and polite with me. Genevieve was positive about the lesson and Mansi drew out where her weaknesses were and was patient and encouraging and kept Genevieve on track. Mansi has a great way of communicating and didn't talk down to or make Genevieve feel bad for not knowing the answer and explained the answer a few times, and in different ways.Rochelle, Taigum
Year 6 student Bella worked on mental maths strategies and tackled introductory algebra problems.
In Year 10, Georgia focused on developing her creative writing for an assessment and also prepared for upcoming Shakespeare tasks.
Meanwhile, Year 11 student Katie explored electromagnetic induction concepts and practiced applying formulas related to electric fields and solenoids.
A Year 8 student often hesitated to write down working in algebra, making it harder to spot calculation slips—"when reminded to show steps, she quickly found where she'd gone wrong."
In a senior Physics session, one student arrived without a charged laptop and incomplete experiment data, delaying assessment progress.
A Year 10 student was distracted by upcoming assessments and didn't finish the draft required for their assignment.
Another Year 7 student sometimes lost motivation when multiplication became challenging, which led to unfinished questions and shaky confidence during class discussions.
In each case, small process gaps had ripple effects on learning flow.
A Sandgate tutor recently saw a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to speak up now actively asking questions and reasoning through solutions on her own, especially in algebra sessions.
Another high schooler, after struggling with ratios, now remembers calculation steps without prompts and can apply them across new problems.
In Year 5 maths, a student who often lost focus when sick managed to concentrate for most of the session and independently solved mixed fraction addition and subtraction—something she found overwhelming just weeks ago.
One session ended with the student choosing a tougher problem herself rather than waiting for direction.
