Fantastic lesson with Raffie! She is working so hard at the moment which is amazing. There's much less chatter from her end meaning she can focus more on the work, however we are still managing to have fun. If every lesson was like this it would be perfect. HANDOVER NOTES Raffie is a very gifted young person who takes pride in her work and is more motivated to learn than many people her age. This allows her to experience many things because she always feels that she can add more commitments to her schedule, but please be wary that burnout is a big risk of this lifestyle and it's important to have regular relaxation time (with friends AND just by herself) to prevent her from becoming jaded and overworked in later years. She is lucky to have a supportive family around her who I'm certain will help with this. When it comes to maths, it will be interesting to see how she goes next year; I believe she has the capability and drive to succeed, though there is risk of 'artificial confusion' where she became so used to having a maths tutor telling her yes or no that she will be worried to make a guess by herself because she doesn't want to make mistakes (even when her gut feeling is correct). I've felt so lucky to build a friendship with Raffie and her family for the last couple years, and I wish you all the very best.

Raffie has good understanding of surds after our few weeks of working on them. This improvement is great to see

Quite chatty this week, didn't get as much as done as we would have liked (almost finished her assignment, but not much time to work on new content)

By far the most productive.lesson we've had in a long time, mostly because Raffie was so motivated to cram as much study as possible for her assignment and upcoming test. This was an example of 'good stress' where Raffie is clearly nervous about her assessments but rather than becoming overwhelmed she harnessed her energy to work extra hard and stay focused for the entire session. Great work!

Not applicable this session, keep it up Raffie!

Great to be back and Raffie was quite energetic this session which is good. She is definitely becoming overwhelmed in this busy part of the year (no surprise, we all do!) so my goal is to make these next few weeks as simple as possible,.especially since much of this content will not be covered in General maths next year.

While I want these last handful of weeks to be simple, I do want them to be productive. It is mine AND Raffie's responsibility to not get off track and make sure we are working. Claire's delicious cooking has been very helpful with this as I have used food as a motivator for Raffie to answer questions :D
