Standard It went really well and we will continue to have Justin work with Alex. Justin explained things really well to Alex and he is already feeling more confident about Maths. He also gave me some great tips and feedback on areas I can work on with Alex.Nerida
Year 5 student Ava worked on multiplying fractions by whole numbers and converting between improper fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals.
For Year 8, Ethan focused on rearranging formulae to change the subject and substituting values into equations while completing homework questions.
Meanwhile, Year 9 student Lily tackled volumes of composite shapes and practiced finding areas within other areas by breaking down complex figures.
In Year 10, one student's trigonometry test showed marks lost due to not writing working—"full pages with no working in his latest tests," as the tutor noted. He understood the methods during lessons but struggled under pressure to record steps, leading to missed partial credit.
In a Year 7 algebra session, forgetting to label answers and skipping careful reading of multi-step questions meant incomplete solutions or misinterpreted requirements.
Meanwhile, a senior student preparing for financial maths needed to memorise which formulas fit different scenarios but often relied on notes instead of internalising them—this slowed her down during exam practice.
A Dangar Island tutor noticed a Year 8 student who used to hesitate with rearranging formulas now confidently substitutes values without prompting, even tackling worded questions on their own.
In Year 11, one student who previously mixed up SOHCAHTOA steps can now find unknown sides independently in right-angle triangles and explain when to use each formula—a real shift from earlier confusion.
Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner who would guess at fraction problems has started asking clarifying questions before solving, leading to accurate conversion between mixed numerals and improper fractions during their last session.
