Year 6 Bella focused on English comprehension and practiced identifying homonyms and onomatopoeia using worksheets, while also tackling maths problems around time and symmetry.

In Year 9, Jeremy reviewed trigonometry concepts—finding unknown angles and side lengths in right triangles—and practiced expanding brackets and simplifying algebraic expressions to prepare for upcoming exams.

Meanwhile, Year 10 Willow worked through order of operations questions, solved equations with integers, and spent time adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions to boost her confidence with more complex calculations.

In Year 12 Maths, one student prepared for "all the basics" but was unready for deeper exam questions—being spread too thin left them unable to tackle unfamiliar problem types.

In Year 10, a tutor noted, "he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors," making it harder to spot and fix mistakes.

For a Year 8 student, forgetting key materials—like coming without paper—meant calculations couldn't be completed during the lesson.

Meanwhile, a primary student's PowerPoint draft had persistent formatting issues; editing was avoided rather than addressed, so small errors lingered across slides.

One Tanglewood tutor noted that a Year 10 student who used to hesitate with algebra is now tackling linear equations more independently, even asking thoughtful questions to clarify steps instead of waiting for help.

Another high schooler recently recognised and corrected her own errors while working through fraction problems—something she previously struggled to spot without prompting.

In primary sessions, Bella has begun proofreading her writing unprompted and double-checking her answers in maths, having earlier rushed through work without reviewing.

At the end of her last lesson, she confidently completed a spelling challenge she'd found daunting just weeks before.
