She is fantastic! It was amazing to see the calming influence she had on Max as she patiently stepped him through learning maths. She is astute and quickly understood his capabilities and suggested to me simple steps for how we can focus on bringing him up to speed. I'm delighted.Lyndall
Year 5 student Ryan focused on creating a dinner menu as part of a maths assignment, practising calculations with decimals and place value.
In Year 10, one student completed a payroll project that required producing graphs and carrying out detailed wage calculations, while another tackled an assignment modelling car speed before a collision, using statistical analysis and interpreting real-world data.
This range shows students working through practical applications of mathematics across primary and high school levels.
A Year 11 student working on engineering was observed relying heavily on school-provided resources instead of independently clarifying assignment expectations—"he must actively ask and bombard his teachers with questions or ask more for what they expect."
In Year 10, another struggled to plan assignments and research reports in both Science and Maths, tending to avoid tackling challenging problems directly.
For a younger student (Year 5), messy handwriting made some maths answers hard to follow, slowing feedback.
One session for Year 7 highlighted missed homework and forgotten materials, which left gaps during revision. This scattered approach led to lost learning moments.
A tutor in Towen Mountain noticed one high school student who previously hesitated to speak up is now asking for clarification when unsure about spelling, rather than just guessing—showing real self-advocacy.
Another high schooler, after struggling with algebraic rearrangement, surprised herself by quickly picking up how to manipulate equations and find variables without prompts.
Meanwhile, a younger student who often needed reminders about punctuation wrote sentences using full stops and capital letters on her own this week. The session ended with her confidently reading back what she'd written, unaided.
