Year 5 student Elise worked on adding and subtracting mixed fractions with different denominators and practiced integer operations using a worksheet.

In Year 9, Amelie focused on simultaneous linear equations and explored parallel and perpendicular lines, tackling real-world problems involving modeling with linear relations.

Another Year 9 student, Michael, revised algebraic expressions and equations before moving onto vocabulary exercises to strengthen his understanding across both maths and English.

A Year 8 student repeatedly arrived without required workbooks, making it difficult to review homework or build on previous lessons; as noted, "Elise needs to remember to bring all required materials."

In Year 10 mathematics, a lack of organized working—writing calculations in scattered ways—left both student and tutor struggling to follow the process.

One Year 11 student skipped writing out algebra steps during revision: "Noah tends to skip some calculation steps and work things out in his head," leading to errors that were hard to trace. This tendency cost valuable marks on recent tests and made correcting misunderstandings slower.

One tutor in The Gardens recently saw Amelie, a high school student, move from hesitating over quadratic equations to quickly identifying when to use the discriminant and confidently plotting hyperbolas during revision.

Another secondary student, Aymen, who used to struggle with breaking down complex geometry problems, is now independently separating compound shapes into simpler parts and combining their areas or perimeters—he even scored 46/55 on his most recent test.

Meanwhile, Elise (Year 6) has started outlining every step of her maths working without prompting; she finished a timed NAPLAN practice without accuracy dropping, showing much sharper focus under pressure.
