Standard Donald has helped me with my grade 4 maths concepts. At the start of the year I didn't understand multiplication but now I know all my times tables! He is patient & caring tutor & my maths has improved with his support.Michelle
Year 6 student Larena focused on converting between mixed and improper fractions, as well as practising addition and subtraction of fractions by finding common denominators.
Year 8 student Hazell worked on expanding and factorising algebraic expressions, including using the distributive law for binomial products, and also tackled right-angled triangle trigonometry—specifically identifying angles of elevation/depression in practical worded problems.
Meanwhile, Year 9 student Ella reviewed solving linear inequalities from number lines and practised calculating surface area and volume for composite three-dimensional shapes such as spheres and cylinders.
Several process-related habits are limiting progress across different year levels.
In Year 9 mathematics, Hazell repeatedly did not complete assigned homework, leading to forgotten methods in trigonometry and algebra—"Hazell expressed she simply didn't have time to complete her homework," one tutor noted, resulting in difficulty recalling SOHCAHTOA in later sessions.
In a primary session, Larena's lack of times tables fluency slowed fraction work; even after reminders and quizzes, converting between mixed and improper fractions remained inconsistent.
A senior student displayed over-reliance on rote-learnt formulas: when worded or unfamiliar questions appeared, applying the right strategy became much harder without deeper understanding.
A tutor in Werrington recently saw some real steps forward across different year groups. In Year 9, Hazell had been making frequent "silly mistakes" when expanding and factorising algebraic expressions, but now she's completing her homework with much higher accuracy and even achieved 98% on an investigative task—her best result yet.
Meanwhile, Larena (Year 6) used to hesitate when working with fractions, but after guided practice, she finished the last three questions of a worksheet completely on her own and got them all right.
Sophie (Year 11) has started to independently catch and correct minor errors in her probability homework as soon as they come up, showing true self-correction skills.
