Year 8 student Yillen reviewed algebraic equations—including addition, subtraction, multiplication and division—and practiced applying Pythagoras' Theorem to right-angled triangles, often using diagrams for clarity.

Year 9 Chloe focused on trigonometry skills with SOHCAHTOA to find side lengths and angles in right triangles, as well as revising formulas for speed, distance, and time from her upcoming test.

Meanwhile, Year 6 Arielle worked on adding and subtracting fractions with both like and unlike denominators, along with multiplying mixed numbers and exploring how fraction values change as denominators vary.

A Year 8 student recently left his calculator at home during a lesson on circles, which made dividing by π much harder and slowed progress.

In a senior English session, one student only brought limited written work for feedback—"to get more written material from the student if wanting feedback on it"—so opportunities to improve essays were missed.

For a Year 10 algebra task, skipping working steps led to repeated sign errors that hid misunderstandings.

A primary student, meanwhile, struggled with organizing notes and remembering the difference between area and perimeter after not revising foundational definitions since last year.

A Calga tutor recently noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who, after initially struggling with Pythagoras' Theorem, left the session confidently explaining how to solve problems on his own—a real turnaround from needing step-by-step guidance.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student not only completed her algebra homework early but also asked for extra challenging questions, something she'd been too hesitant to do before.

For a younger learner in Year 4, the tutor saw him break down tricky word problems independently after practicing new multiplication skills; he finished by tackling all three examples without help.
