Love your tutor or it's free. Guaranteed.
I think that things are going well- we only had one session so far but Jake seems great and does a great job of explaining things to her. I will definitely comment further once we get a bit further down the line, but happy so far!Krista
Year 5 student Ethan focused on division skills and multiplication tests, building speed and accuracy through short practice sets.
In Year 9, Olivia worked intensively on algebraic equations and simultaneous equations, using past test questions to reinforce understanding.
For Year 11, Mia tackled financial maths concepts like depreciation and shares/dividend yield as well as compound interest problems, with a focus on interpreting real-world scenarios.
A recurring process challenge for several students was over-reliance on formulas and set procedures, particularly in high school maths (Years 9–11).
For example, a Year 10 student working through financial maths "entered numbers into the formula without understanding why," which made unfamiliar worded problems much harder to interpret.
Another senior student hesitated when faced with mixed-method algebra questions, unsure which approach to take unless prompted—highlighting shallow critical understanding.
Messy or incomplete working was also observed in Year 8: "She tends to do most of it in her head and rarely writes out full steps." This led to confusion when reviewing mistakes later.
A Corlette tutor recently noticed Danika, a high school student, now organises her workbooks and arrives at sessions with questions marked from class—something she never did before, showing real initiative.
Liz, also in high school, used to hesitate during financial maths topics but has started explaining her reasoning out loud and even teaches back some concepts when the tutor is unsure.
In a younger year group, Lara has begun tackling unfamiliar geometry problems without giving up straight away; instead of freezing, she now asks targeted questions and tries multiple strategies before moving on.
