Standard Its going very well with Emmad. He has been able to give Aidan more confidence and he is now doing more exercises/problems on his own. We are happy with Emmad's manner and abilities.Tony, Athelstone
Year 4 Damon worked on distinguishing short and long vowel sounds using interactive games, then practiced imaginative narrative writing by planning story settings and endings.
In Year 8, Ashton prepared for a biology test by revising DNA structure, replication, and mitosis with visual aids to clarify key processes.
For Year 9, Eliza focused on coordinate geometry—specifically finding endpoints from given coordinates and determining the equation of a line, including calculating gradients and intercepts.
Incomplete homework emerged as a barrier for a Year 3 student, with notes stating he "did not complete the weekly set homework" on sentence construction and required frequent prompting to vocalise ideas before writing.
In Year 10 Mathematics, calculator dependence surfaced: "over-reliance on calculators made mental arithmetic slow in class," particularly when rearranging equations.
A Year 12 Biology student struggled to actively recall content, relying on rereading slides rather than making flashcards or practicing retrieval.
For one Year 7, skipping written steps in algebra led to confusion—"he guessed at answers instead of logically working through brackets." This resulted in repeated errors that had to be re-explored together.
A Dernancourt tutor noticed a big shift in one high school student's engagement: where they used to get distracted easily, they stayed focused the entire lesson and even took their own notes without prompting.
Another high schooler, who previously found simultaneous equations overwhelming, now works through each step out loud and checks their answers independently before moving on.
Meanwhile, in a primary session, Damon—who once hesitated to try spelling tricky words—now volunteers to spell them aloud during games and uses his drawings as cues to write imaginative stories, finishing his latest narrative with only minimal reminders.
