Year 4 student Poppy worked on identifying scale factors and calculating the volume of cylinders and rectangular prisms, using diagrams to support understanding.

Year 9 student Ella focused on revising linear functions—finding equations from graphs—and practiced applying index laws with custom flashcards.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Dirk tackled polynomial functions by factorising quadratics to solve for x, as well as reviewing set notation and graphing piecewise equations from his textbook chapter.

Avoiding revision of older topics between sessions meant the Year 8 student often forgot how to do the questions in a later session—this led to confusion when trying more advanced polynomials.

For the Year 10 student, not completing assignment drafts meant important requirements were missed; she did not look at the assignment properly and did not seek the teacher's help.

The Year 3 student struggled with writing readability and spelling bigger words; messy work made self-correction difficult during story writing tasks.

In senior maths, over-reliance on calculators left gaps in algebraic fluency for non-calculator exam sections.

One Dakabin tutoring session saw a big shift for Dirk, a high school student who previously relied on help but was able to complete most quadratic factorisation problems independently after some revision.

Ella, also in high school, started letting her tutor know when she felt unsure about linear equations—where before she'd just stay quiet—and now refuses to move on until she's confident.

Meanwhile, in Year 3, Sophia had struggled with counting coins but made sense of it once she could use real coins during the lesson; by the end, she was enthusiastically counting out amounts herself.
