Year 5 student Charlotte worked on multiplying fractions by integers and converting between improper fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals.

In Year 8, Yillen focused on applying Pythagoras' Theorem to right-angled triangles and revising area calculations for composite shapes.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Ava practised using trigonometric ratios (SOHCAHTOA) to solve for unknown sides in triangles and revised the relationship between speed, distance, and time through worded problems.

In Year 8, one student often left his notes and school workbook at school, which made revision for an upcoming exam difficult—"he didn't have any guidelines for revision," the tutor noted.

A Year 10 student relied heavily on having a calculator handy, sometimes stalling when it was misplaced or unavailable.

In senior years, time management surfaced as a key challenge: "Time went by really quickly after looking at only a couple of questions."

Meanwhile, a primary student hesitated to write out working for maths problems, especially when rearranging equations, which led to missed sign errors in algebra.

A tutor in St Huberts Island recently noticed a Year 10 student who used to hesitate when stuck now actively asks for help during sessions and even requested extra homework to push himself further.

Another high schooler, after struggling with rearranging formulas in algebra, was able to tackle worded questions independently and started identifying where values needed to be substituted without prompting.

For a Year 4 student, recognising odd and even numbers has become second nature, and she's begun explaining her reasoning out loud—something she previously avoided. Last week, she confidently solved every example the tutor set for her.
