Year 8 student Sam worked on solving linear equations and practiced applying the Pythagoras theorem to geometry problems.

For Year 10, Mia focused on using trigonometric ratios for right-angled triangles and tackled harder questions involving the sine rule for non-right-angled triangles.

Meanwhile, Year 5 student Leo revised converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages using a worksheet and reinforced his skills with worded percentage problems from recent homework.

In Year 9 algebra, a student often assumed pronumeral order matched previous questions, leading to confusion in solutions—"she tended to skip checking which variable was which," noted one tutor.

A Year 11 student struggled with interpreting worded problems, missing key information and leaving parts unanswered.

For a Year 4 learner, mental maths replaced written working; this meant errors crept in during time and date calculations when steps weren't shown on paper.

During exam revision in Year 10, another student became overwhelmed by pressure and left some graph sketching incomplete, feeling unsure where to start once mistakes appeared.

A tutor in Darkes Forest recently saw some great progress across different year levels. One Year 10 student, after struggling with factorising quadratics, quickly picked up the cross method and was soon able to identify common factors without prompting—something she hesitated with just a week earlier.

A Year 11 student had previously made repeated mistakes on income tax problems but, after reviewing his test together, he not only understood where he went wrong but then solved new similar questions independently.

Meanwhile, a younger student who used to skip over word problems now tackled time and date questions with speed and accuracy, finishing them all correctly during the session.
