Year 7 student Tyler worked through decimals (addition, subtraction, and multiplication), rounding numbers, and fraction operations as part of his maths booklet and grading exam preparation.

In Year 9, Sarah focused on algebraic techniques to build confidence with equations and expressions, addressing her main challenge area.

For Year 11, Olivia covered financial mathematics topics such as depreciation, shares and dividend yield, along with tackling both simple and compound interest using practical examples.

A Year 10 student's confidence dropped sharply after a challenging practice test; she hesitated when processes weren't clear and often mixed up algebraic rules, as described: "She didn't believe me when I told her some of the rules!"

In senior years, one student was highly formula-driven in financial maths, tending to plug in numbers without understanding the context or adapting methods—this led to confusion with non-standard questions.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 workbook showed messy layouts and poor organization, making revision harder.

In each case, these process habits slowed progress and left students second-guessing themselves during critical tasks.

A Bundabah tutoring session saw Danika, a Year 10 student, start organising her school notes and actively marking questions she wanted help with—something she hadn't done before.

Elliott in Year 11 has begun explaining his thinking out loud more during advanced maths sessions, sometimes even challenging the tutor's methods, which shows real growth from when he used to stay quiet unless prompted.

Meanwhile, Lara (Year 8) recently tackled a pop quiz where she applied concepts from earlier lessons without giving up at the first hurdle; instead of waiting for hints, she now asks questions and works through problems herself.
