Year 5 student Sasha practised measurement skills by working through questions from Chapter 8 and also received support on specific homework problems.
In Year 10, James revised simultaneous equations using the elimination method and focused on understanding coefficients through step-by-step examples.
For Year 12, Charlotte completed practice questions on networks, rates, and ratios directly aligned with the Standard Mathematics syllabus to prepare for upcoming assessments.
A Year 9 student tackling networks found it difficult to memorise key definitions and formulas, which slowed progress; as the tutor noted, "explaining the parts of the topic he didn't understand was hard without repeating myself."
In Year 7 algebra, another student consistently avoided writing out working for equations, making sign errors harder to catch.
For a primary creative writing task, one child hesitated to try new ideas out of fear of mistakes—leading to less original responses.
Meanwhile, in senior trigonometry revision, incomplete homework limited the depth of discussion and practice on advanced problems.
One Banksia tutor noticed a Year 11 student who, after struggling with ratios in the past, began identifying calculation errors independently and even caught a mistake before the tutor did during a complex networks problem.
In another high school session, a student who used to skip showing working for algebra now writes out each step and talks through her process aloud without prompting, making it much easier to catch mistakes early.
Meanwhile, a younger primary student recently started asking for extra worksheets on mixed numerals—something she previously avoided—and now tries new fraction problems by herself before seeking help.
It takes a lot to do well in biology. Moving up the curriculum can be a challenge and if students don't jump in with both feet it's easy to fall behind.
