Olivia has had two lessons so far. We are very happy with the connection between her and Pradeep. Olivia is happy to continue with her tutoring and feels she is making progress and gaining confidence.Fran
Year 5 student Ava worked through decimal point questions, number patterns, and addition/subtraction strategies using visual examples.
In Year 8, James focused on solving one- and two-step equations with variables on both sides, as well as equations involving fractions.
Meanwhile, Year 10 student Emily tackled area and volume problems—especially surface area of cylinders—and reviewed recent data statistics content for an upcoming assessment.
In Year 5 maths, revision before tests was inconsistent—one student, for example, didn't review geometry ahead of a perimeter and area test, which left her underprepared on irregular shapes.
A Year 8 student had ongoing trouble with frequency tables but "did not review quadratic equations" when needed; feedback wasn't taken up between sessions.
At the senior level (Year 11), notes show summary sheets weren't made for differentiation topics and several exercises were left incomplete: "Needs to complete exercises."
These patterns meant students entered new lessons still uncertain about methods or missing key steps from earlier work.
One Ellis Lane tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously hesitated with induction proofs now tackling division induction questions with much more assurance, even explaining steps aloud instead of relying on hints.
A Year 9 learner, after struggling to generalise ratio problems in the past, is now independently applying the right strategy across new contexts—she recently solved overtime pay scenarios using her own summary sheet for reference.
Meanwhile, a younger primary student who often guessed when unsure about decimals has started asking clarifying questions without prompting and completed all her decimal conversions correctly during last session.
