Year 5 student Zane worked on applying the order of operations in maths and practiced English comprehension by responding in full sentences to assess understanding.

In Year 7, Emily revised linear equations and graphs in maths and explored character concepts and "show, don't tell" writing techniques during a discussion of the novel *Wonder*.

For Year 8, Daniel focused on solving quadratic equations and continued developing his essay-writing skills with structured support for clear arguments.

A Year 9 student struggled to keep written maths work neat, making it harder to catch small calculation errors; as a tutor noted, "carry/trading steps were often missing or unclear in homework."

In Year 6 English, unfinished spelling and incomplete homework tasks meant gaps remained week-to-week.

One senior student (Year 11) found switching between addition and multiplication of fractions confusing—forgetting to show all working made mistakes tough to spot.

Meanwhile, an advanced Year 12 student tackling functions skipped linking algebra with graphs, which slowed their progress during complex transformation problems.

Missed practice and untidy layout kept reappearing across different subjects and years.

A tutor in Sedgwick recently saw a Year 11 student who, after weeks of struggling with algebraic manipulation, confidently solved complex quadratic problems and even explained their steps aloud—something they'd previously avoided.

In a Year 9 session, a student who used to freeze at worded maths problems is now identifying key information independently and attempting solutions without prompting.

Meanwhile, one of the younger students surprised their tutor by reading an entire passage out loud with only minimal help, having struggled to sound out words just last month.
