Year 7 student Tyler worked through his maths booklet in preparation for a grading exam, focusing on multiplying decimals and practising fraction addition and subtraction.

For Year 9, most lessons centred around consolidating algebra skills as this was identified as the main challenge area, using targeted practice questions.

A Year 11 student recently tackled financial mathematics topics including depreciation, shares and dividend yield, along with more advanced work on simple and compound interest.

In Year 7, one student's maths workbook was "a little more organised and tidy" than before, but still needed clearer layout for easier review.

A Year 10 student in financial maths often defaulted to plugging numbers into formulas without grasping the underlying concepts—she is too reliant on putting numbers into a given formula, as a tutor noted.

In Year 11, confidence wavered when facing abstract algebra problems; avoidance of unfamiliar or multi-step questions meant missed opportunities for deeper understanding.

Across senior years, skipping written working or not backchecking answers led to repeated minor errors and uncertainty during tests.

One Fullerton Cove tutor noticed Danika, a Year 10 student, now comes to sessions with her own list of questions—she used to wait passively but is clearly taking more initiative in identifying where she needs help.

In Year 12, Liz has begun tackling the toughest financial maths and z-score problems independently; last session she even explained her solution process out loud and challenged the tutor's reasoning—a big step up from her earlier hesitance.

Meanwhile, Lara (Year 8) recently finished a set of challenging geometry problems on her own after struggling last term, showing steady growth in problem-solving skills.
