Our daughter seems to respond well to Adam and even though it's still early days she is much more confident!Michelle, North Adelaide
Year 5 student William built confidence with long addition and practiced multiplication strategies, using written methods for clarity.
For Year 10, Grace tackled trigonometry—solving triangles with ratios and applying Pythagoras' theorem to worded geometric problems.
Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ben focused on financial maths by working through house loan calculations and variable interest scenarios, learning to solve for unknowns using a calculator.
Over several year levels, process-related habits are holding back progress.
For example, a Year 8 student relied heavily on their calculator in mental arithmetic tasks—"still needs to work on this," one tutor noted—which led to hesitation when the calculator was unavailable.
In Year 11, anxiety during calculus drills caused skipped checks and repeated mistakes under time pressure.
Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner often left homework incomplete and needed reminders to review past errors instead of moving on quickly.
Across both junior and senior years, confusion with terminology like "mode" versus "mean" resulted in wasted effort on the wrong methods mid-assessment.
A Bowden tutor recently saw a Year 10 student who had struggled to use mental maths confidently begin applying new shortcuts in their working, even tackling practice questions without prompting—something they'd previously avoided.
In a senior session, a Year 12 student took real initiative by openly explaining the exact points where they got stuck in class and then worked through solutions step by step with much less hesitation than before.
Meanwhile, one of our younger students started attempting larger addition problems independently and no longer waits for reassurance before trying each question.
