Year 4 student Claudia revised the 24-hour time format and analogue hours, then practiced simple addition of fractions.

Year 6 student Leonardo worked through multiplying two-digit numbers such as 345 × 23 and solved times tables questions using palm cards for reinforcement.

For Year 7, Nina focused on adding and multiplying fractions together and reviewed key fraction types to build her understanding.

In Year 5 maths, one student struggled to recall times tables quickly during multiplication tasks, despite practicing at home; as a tutor observed, "she was still unsure of some equations, like 2x9."

Missing or incomplete homework also meant valuable lesson time was spent re-covering basics instead of advancing.

For a Year 10 student in English, there was strong verbal creativity but difficulty organizing ideas in writing—written work lagged behind spoken answers and handwriting remained messy, which could hinder exam performance later.

A lack of confidence often led both students to hesitate or second-guess themselves when put on the spot.

One Silverwater tutor noticed a big change in a Year 8 student who previously hesitated to tackle worded probability questions; after some focused practice, she began attempting them independently and even explained her reasoning out loud.

Another high schooler, Year 10, had been unsure about percentage discounts but started asking clarifying questions instead of just guessing—by the end of the session, she solved similar problems with only minor prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who once relied on finger counting for addition surprised her tutor by solving all mental math tasks without any physical aids during their last session.
