Year 3 student Ruby focused on sight words and reading for English, along with counting activities in her maths workbook.

For Year 9, Alexia reviewed finding the hypotenuse and shorter side of a triangle using Pythagoras' Theorem, then practised expanding algebraic equations through substitution.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Sam tackled Financial Maths by calculating tax, Medicare levy, and working out taxable income and tax refunds using exam-style worksheets.

In Year 10 Maths, one student struggled to distinguish when to use formulas for perimeter versus area; as a tutor noted, "she mixed up which measurement each formula required." This confusion led to errors on composite shape questions and made revision harder.

For another Year 7 student, forgetting previously covered algebra steps was common—he often relied on memory alone rather than reviewing notes or attempting written working, especially in practice tests. This meant that mistakes were repeated and confidence dipped before assessments.

In both cases, gaps in revisiting key methods slowed progress during new problem types.

A Warrimoo tutor recently saw Tariq, a high school student, shift from needing step-by-step help with Pythagoras' Theorem to independently calculating the length of unknown sides in right-angled triangles—a real leap given his initial hesitation.

Isabelle, also in high school, managed to patiently work through tricky financial maths problems and started getting more questions right after understanding the formula for area and perimeter, even tackling cylinders and trapeziums on her own.

Meanwhile, Lillian (primary) moved from struggling with weekly spelling lists to nailing every word in her latest test and reading aloud with noticeably wider vocabulary.
