Year 4 student Jack focused on measurement by finding perimeter and area, then practised converting units for volume.

In Year 8, Alexia worked through simplifying algebraic equations and multiplying/dividing them using worksheets to prepare for an upcoming test.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student tackled financial maths by calculating tax and Medicare levy as well as working out taxable income and tax refunds directly from exam-style questions.

In Year 11 Maths, one student repeatedly avoided writing full working for financial maths problems—when asked about a tricky tax calculation, she said, "I just tried to remember the answer," which led to confusion with taxable income and Medicare levy steps.

A Year 9 student often revised only familiar algebra topics, neglecting indices and sign conventions; this caused mistakes to resurface in classwork.

In Year 7, revision notes were left incomplete after lessons on perimeter and area of composite shapes, making it difficult to connect new formulae later. The result: time spent relearning basics instead of building new skills.

A tutor in Yellow Rock recently noticed Isabelle, a high school student, making a real shift in her approach to exam prep—she now works through difficult problems independently, whereas she previously hesitated and needed step-by-step guidance.

In another session, Tariq finally began calculating unknown sides unprompted using Pythagoras' Theorem, marking a big leap from earlier sessions where he relied heavily on hints.

Meanwhile, Lillian in primary school has started spelling all her weekly words correctly for the first time this term and even explained her science project with newfound enthusiasm.
