Year 10 student Cale focused on simplifying and solving linear equations as well as reviewing techniques for adding and subtracting decimals, with some sessions also spent strengthening note-taking and content retention skills.
Another Year 10 session included practice on polynomial expressions, index laws, and the basics of surd operations.
For a Year 9 student, Emily, recent lessons addressed calculating overtime pay and penalty rates in real-life contexts and revisited order of operations through worked examples to build confidence with multi-step problems.
A Year 10 student lost his maths assignment due to computer issues and, as one tutor noted, "this very badly affected his grade"—highlighting the importance of better file organization and digital backup habits.
In a recent Year 12 lesson, another student's revision was slowed by incomplete note-taking; "her notes were lacking because she didn't have enough pages," which left gaps in understanding new content.
Meanwhile, a Year 7 learner struggled to keep track of formulas for algebra and trigonometry—without a routine for recording or reviewing these basics, recall faltered under test conditions.
A tutor in Blacksoil noticed one high school student who previously struggled with worded maths problems now working through them more steadily—she's even started double-checking her answers to catch mistakes on her own.
Another secondary student, after initially losing nearly all marks on a mock test due to mixing up operations, is now asking for strategies and reviewing notes more actively between sessions.
Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner who used to wait passively for help has begun telling the tutor what mean, median, and mode are before being prompted, then finished several matrix questions independently during their session.
