Tutor's provide an opportunity for individualised, one-on-one support in a way that the standard classroom cannot offer. This provides more in-depth and responsive support for students to consolidate and expand learning.Tutoring students in 👦 👧

The review of the trail exam is complete. Cailin has shown good progress in review topics, and improvement in previous problem areas of differentiation and integration.
Trigonometry needs particular practice. Furthermore Cailin should focus on identifying simple solutions to problems by observation before jumping to her calculator. Cailin needs to complete remaining topic revision to allow sufficient time to prepare for practice exams.

Oliver has good fluency with adding and subtracting up to two fractions with different denominators. Oliver was able to employ the cross-multiply method, identify like denominators and represent as either a proper or improper fraction. Oliver was able to apply this understanding to word problems.
Oliver showed some over reliance on the cross multiply method and thus ran into issues when there where more than two fractions in the question. The conceptual understanding to solve these questions has been addressed, but Oliver should practice solving problems using alternate procedures for these questions.
