Year 6 student Elise focused on adding and subtracting integers—including negative numbers—and refreshed her skills with simplifying fractions and converting mixed numbers to improper fractions.

Year 9 student Amelie worked through trigonometric functions using the unit circle to find exact values, as well as problems involving radians in preparation for an upcoming test.

For Year 10, Michael tackled algebra skills by revisiting previous test questions he found challenging, then practiced applying new strategies to similar algebraic problems.

In Year 6 English, one student frequently avoided reading full questions, leading to missed details in comprehension and extended response tasks; as a tutor noted, "she often assumes what the question is asking rather than taking the time to carefully read."

In senior maths (Year 11), another student relied heavily on their calculator before planning solutions, resulting in muddled working and overlooked steps—this caused issues when switching between units or interpreting real-world applications.

Missed or incomplete homework was also common at both levels, meaning valuable lesson time was lost finishing overdue tasks instead of progressing with new content.

A tutor in Tiwi noticed Amelie, a high school student, now identifies her own mistakes during tests and independently corrects them—previously, she'd wait for guidance before attempting fixes.

Another recent Tiwi tutoring session saw Elise, in upper primary, outlining every step of her maths problem-solving process out loud, where before she tended to skip showing her working.

For another high schooler, Aymen, breaking down complex perimeter problems into simpler parts is becoming second nature; last week he scored 46 out of 55 on his latest test after struggling with this skill earlier in the term.
