Year 8 student Ava worked through simplifying algebraic fractions and dividing both regular and algebraic fractions, while Year 10 Jack focused on solving problems involving simple and compound interest as well as rearranging algebraic expressions to find an unknown.

For Year 11, Felix tackled features of the plasma membrane and discussed how substances move across it via active and passive transport.

A Year 11 student struggled to remember formulas for financial maths, with a tutor noting, "she forgot the interest formula and missed key steps on loan questions." This led to repeated confusion when tackling compound interest problems under test conditions.

In Year 8 algebra, skipping working was an issue—one student avoided writing out rearrangement steps in simultaneous equations, so errors weren't spotted until the end.

For a Year 6 learner, messy layout in time-telling exercises caused mix-ups between hours and minutes; "digits crowded together made it hard to track where mistakes happened," as observed during revision drills.

One Eglinton tutor noticed a big change in a Year 11 student who previously hesitated to explain her reasoning during maths sessions; after encouragement, she now talks through her solutions out loud, even when unsure, which has made it easier for her to tackle complex trigonometry and algebra questions.

In science, a high schooler who struggled to distinguish between meiosis and mitosis was able to clearly outline the differences and their significance for genetic variation by the end of the session.

Meanwhile, a younger student showed real initiative by spotting errors independently during a time-telling activity and correcting them before moving on.
