Impressive Jess always shows up in time and doesn't dash out the door after 60 minutes but stays to finish if they are in the middle of doing something. She recommends things for my son to work on in between sessions and helps him prepare well for testsJessica
Year 4 student Sophie practiced multiplication with large numbers and revisited equivalent fractions, using visual examples to support her understanding.
In Year 9, Aidan worked on applying Pythagoras' theorem and SOH CAH TOA for solving triangle problems, alongside finding areas of composite shapes.
For Year 11, Sam focused on graphing polynomials by exploring the midpoint, distance, and gradient formulas on Cartesian planes and then practiced linear relationships through example questions.
A Year 11 student in advanced maths was observed skipping written steps when solving algebraic problems, which hid sign errors. This habit made revision and self-checking harder, especially under test pressure.
Meanwhile, a Year 4 student struggled to stay focused during lessons; tiredness after school often led to incomplete homework and reluctance to finish tasks without direct encouragement.
In both cases, missing or messy working either slowed progress or left mistakes hidden, impacting confidence and fluency at critical moments.
A tutor in Blakiston noticed a Year 10 student who had struggled to break down complex algebra questions is now confidently applying new strategies and tackling challenging problems with far less prompting.
Another high schooler, after some difficulties recalling algebraic techniques, was able to complete more advanced tasks independently by the end of the session—a clear step up from previous lessons.
In a younger group, one student showed real initiative by creating her own revision "cheat sheet" before the lesson started, eager to master material for an upcoming test.
