Kai is really enjoying his lessons with Noah! He's got a great way of connecting with Kai. Kai mentioned that Noah explains the reasons instead of doing things by rote. He gets him to think before explaining the answer. Very happy with him!Melani, Chatswood
Year 6 student James focused on fraction revision and practised finding arc lengths in circles, using diagrams to visualise questions.
In Year 9, Aja worked through non-right angle trigonometry and quadratic equations by solving bearing questions from past exams.
Meanwhile, Year 10 student Trai tackled factorising quadratics using the PSF method and reviewed topics from a recent assessment to target areas needing improvement.
He kept trying to apply extra steps that weren't needed, especially under time pressure. This slowed progress in timed assessments, making it harder to finish confidently.
In Year 7 algebra, another student repeatedly forgot negative signs when simplifying expressions—missing these details meant having to rework problems from scratch during revision.
For a Year 4 learner working on decimals and money questions, forgetting to bring homework sheets left less time for targeted practice in lessons. The result was unfinished work and some confusion about rounding rules during class checks.
A tutor in Castle Cove noticed a Year 8 student who used to freeze on percentage and fraction conversions now confidently works through them without hesitation, especially after mastering the last few tricky steps by herself.
In high school, one Year 10 student who often guessed quietly when stuck with factorising is now openly pinpointing her errors and self-correcting during lessons—a big shift from before.
Meanwhile, a senior student struggling with logarithms recently identified which log laws to apply and solved questions independently after missing key classes last term, finishing the set without needing further hints.
