With Oscars learning disorder he really wouldn’t be fully accessing the curriculum content if it weren’t for Matthew’s help. We really appreciate his patience and friendly disposition and non-judgemental attitude.Rosilyn, Kenmore
Year 6 student Meg tackled ratio problems and reviewed tricky questions from class, often using visual examples to support understanding.
In Year 8, Sophie worked through a maths practice test and explored probability concepts with real-world style questions.
Meanwhile, Year 11 student Jack revised derivatives and logarithms by tackling past exam-style questions, helping consolidate his skills ahead of assessment.
In Year 8 Maths, one student consistently avoided the final exam questions—especially multi-step problems with unfamiliar scenarios—preferring to revisit easier practice sets. This meant they missed chances to build confidence tackling the hardest test sections.
For a Year 11 Engineering assignment, another student delayed starting the "solve" section until prompted, leading to rushed last-minute work and overlooked feedback ("needs to make sure that his PSMT is done up to the solve section by next Wednesday").
In Year 6, forgetting about lessons altogether resulted in missed homework submissions and falling behind on key content.
A Fig Tree Pocket tutoring session saw a Year 10 student, who had previously struggled with homework independence, tackle all assigned maths problems solo and even achieve a B+ on her recent test—she only needed to check one answer with the tutor.
Meanwhile, a senior student finally cracked the logic behind quadratic discriminants after weeks of confusion, confidently applying it to enrichment questions that used to feel out of reach.
At primary level, one younger learner surprised their tutor by reading instructions aloud for the first time without prompting before completing all ten worksheet problems on their own.
