Standard Melissa is an excellent tutor who has already created a great rapporr with Poppy. She explains concepts clearly and relates them to real life experiences which provide a greater depth of understanding. We highly recommend Melissa as a tutor.Alison Balchan
Year 4 student Suhana worked on partitioning numbers, basic multiplication and division, and an introduction to simple fractions using visual aids.
For Year 7, Archie revisited BIDMAS and operations with fractions after receiving his test results, focusing on improving accuracy in multi-step calculations.
In Year 8, Amelia tackled the area of composite shapes and reviewed key area formulas, reinforcing understanding through targeted practice problems.
In Year 8 maths, a student often avoided back-checking their work on composite shapes unless prompted—"she did not backcheck her work unless prompted"—leading to repeated calculation errors that could have been caught earlier.
In Year 10 science, another found it hard to approach questions on mitosis and meiosis without hints, hesitating instead of working through unfamiliar material.
Meanwhile, a primary learner struggled to stay engaged during number tracing and needed frequent redirection; incomplete focus meant basic writing practice sometimes stalled.
A Year 7 student tended to say "I don't know" quickly and rarely explained her thinking out loud, making it harder to identify where understanding broke down during fraction addition tasks.
One St Kilda tutor noted a big change in a Year 10 student who now double-checks her maths work without prompting—something she'd avoided before—and caught all her own errors while using Pythagoras' theorem.
A Year 7 boy has begun pointing out his mistakes as he works, rather than waiting for correction, and is making use of his calculator to backcheck answers—a habit he didn't have earlier in the term.
Meanwhile, a Year 2 student recently managed to fill in missing numbers from 1 to 10 within seconds, having previously struggled with number order and often mixed up digits like 16 and 61.
