Joshua feels comfortable with Linh so far, which is fantastic. His teaching skills are impressive! Very happy so far...Joanne, Caroline Springs
Year 10 student Alice focused on rearranging algebraic equations to solve for x in more complex solutions and applied index laws 4–6 using worked examples.
Another Year 10, Ben, practiced simultaneous equations alongside worded problems involving inequalities, then reviewed parabola intercepts and turning points through pre-test analysis.
For Year 9, Sarah revised box and whisker plots by constructing five-number summaries and identifying outliers, then differentiated between mean, median, mode, IQR, and range when interpreting real data sets.
A Year 11 student working on advanced Methods content hesitated to show full algebraic steps, which made it difficult to spot sign errors—"he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors."
Meanwhile, a Year 8 learner preparing for a test grew noticeably distracted and rushed through perimeter problems after studying for multiple assessments the day before.
In English, a Year 10 student struggled to link evidence clearly to essay prompts, making arguments less convincing.
During a Year 4 session, anxiety about getting answers wrong led to hesitation and incomplete written working in worded maths questions.
A Burnside tutor recently saw a Year 11 student who, after previously hesitating to speak up, began actively pointing out mistakes in both their own and others' working during sessions—showing real growth in self-monitoring and willingness to engage.
In Year 9 maths, one student moved from needing step-by-step support with trigonometry to independently recalling the SOHCAHTOA acronym and applying it confidently to worded problems.
Meanwhile, a primary schooler who used to rush through ratio questions now takes time to explain her reasoning for each answer, clearly demonstrating deeper understanding by talking through her process without prompting.
