Year 4 student Damir practised number identification and basic addition and subtraction, alongside early measuring and shape recognition using hands-on activities.

For Year 8, Mira focused on multiplying and dividing fractions as well as mastering the order of operations through step-by-step worked examples.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Lucas tackled algebraic skills such as expanding brackets and simplifying expressions, then applied index laws in several practice problems.

A Year 4 student hesitated to attempt homework unless prompted, and struggled to focus when working independently—"needs more initiative to do work, i.e. attempting homework when I am not here."

In Year 8 Maths, another student avoided writing out working and instead tried to reason through problems aloud or in their head; this led to lost trains of thought and errors ("he attempts to do all his working in his head... sometimes results in him losing track").

Meanwhile, a senior Chemistry student missed over a month's worth of assigned work due to poor organization, falling behind on critical content.

A tutor in Balnarring recently noticed that a Year 9 student who previously hesitated to ask for help now raises specific questions when tackling algebra problems, instead of guessing quietly.

Another high school student made real strides in science: after struggling with electrolytic cells, she can now confidently explain Faraday's Law and identify key steps without prompting.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner who often lost focus during maths is staying engaged for full sessions—he completed all six workbook pages last lesson with almost no errors and volunteered to try an extra times tables challenge at the end.
