The time was taken to match my son was with the perfect tutor. He is engaged the whole time and looks forward to the weekly session. I can hear the interaction and the learning that is taking place each week and seeing my son's confidence and knowledge grow. It's been such a positive experience for us.Alisa
Year 4 student Sarah focused on rounding numbers and practising the 2, 5, and 10 times tables, using quick recall exercises for fluency.
In Year 8, Alex worked through factorisation problems—specifically difference of two squares—and reviewed trinomial expressions with some targeted practice questions.
For Year 9, Emily explored trigonometry by finding missing angles in triangles and then applied algebraic factorisation to simplify given expressions.
A Year 9 student often froze at the start of assignments, feeling overwhelmed by how to begin—"she just got a mental blank and needed the question asked differently," one tutor noted.
In Year 11 maths, anxiety led to second-guessing even when she knew her times tables, slowing her progress in revision quizzes.
A primary student avoided showing working for multiplication problems; this made it difficult to pinpoint where misunderstandings happened.
Meanwhile, another senior student forgot to complete homework before lessons, missing valuable feedback on algebraic methods.
These moments left students frustrated or hesitant instead of building steady confidence through practice.
One Sellicks Hill tutor noticed a big shift in Lara, a high schooler who used to wait for help but now identifies her own mistakes during practice tests and only asks for clarification on trickier problems—last session she completed an entire exam with 100% accuracy almost entirely independently.
Meanwhile, Sasha has moved from being unsure about algebra to confidently teaching back new methods learned at school, even catching errors without prompting.
In Year 3, Nicole's times table recall jumped from needing fingers for the 5s to answering them unaided; last week she tackled a rounding pre-assessment and improved from 0% to scoring 75%.
