Year 11 student focused on solving titration problems by calculating concentration, volume, and moles.

For Year 12, basic differentiation techniques were covered with Alex, including exponentials and trigonometric functions, using targeted examples to build confidence.

Meanwhile, another Year 12 student extended their understanding of limits and first principles, then practised applying product, quotient, and chain rules for derivatives of exponential and trig functions.

In Year 11 Chemistry, one student did not reorganise the equation to solve for the volume of NaOH, missing a crucial step in laying out knowns and unknowns—"listing all information would have made it easier to spot what was needed," noted a tutor.

A Year 10 student repeatedly left homework unfinished or forgot their book at school, leading to gaps in revision.

Meanwhile, negative self-talk ("not very academic") surfaced during Year 12 Maths lessons; this sapped motivation and limited participation when confusion arose with logarithms. In each case, confidence and clarity slipped just when they mattered most.

A tutor in Franklin noticed Luca, a high school student, has shifted from hesitating to ask questions to now regularly speaking up whenever unsure—he even brought his own list of queries last session, which helped him tackle more advanced polynomial expansions independently.

Another recent win came when Zoe, also in high school, caught a mistake the tutor made about parallel lines and confidently corrected it herself—a big change from her earlier reluctance to speak out.

In a Year 3 maths session, one student who previously struggled with multiplication managed to finish all ten problems without errors.
