Exceptional I am pleased to say that Tayla is gaining confidence already. Courtney is amazing with Tayla. Tayla just sat a test that Courtney had helped prepare for and got her highest mark in months.Marie
Year 5 student Daniel focused on converting word problems into algebraic expressions and practiced finding the interior angles of quadrilaterals, using diagrams to structure his solutions.
In Year 8, Lukas worked through Pythagoras' Theorem for right-angled triangles and manipulated algebraic variables to solve for unknowns.
For Year 9, Sophie covered geometry topics including surface area and volume of solids, with an emphasis on using logic to streamline multi-step calculations.
Several high school students left a large portion of their maths work unmarked, which limited opportunities for targeted feedback—one tutor observed, "a significant portion of his school work is unmarked."
In Year 10 algebra, skipping the marking step meant persistent sign errors went unnoticed and slowed progress.
A Year 8 student showed reluctance to lay out steps when rearranging equations, making it difficult to pinpoint misunderstandings.
For a senior student revising payoff graphs in maths, revision focused mostly on easier examples rather than tackling complex options.
When exam season arrived, overconfidence led one Year 11 student to overlook question instructions, missing critical marks as a result.
One Galston tutor noticed that Tom, a high school student, was able to tackle multi-part algebra questions with much more independence—he interpreted graphs and connected them back to the underlying expressions without prompting, something he hesitated with in earlier sessions.
Will, also in high school, started attempting challenge problems that most of his classmates avoid; even when stuck, he persisted rather than giving up.
In primary years, Riley showed a real shift by listening carefully during fraction work and, by lesson's end, handled mixed negative fractions confidently—a big change from his previous confusion on these topics.
