Sleesha is always well prepared and punctual, she has helped my year 9 student a lot with getting a better understanding of the subject matter. We're very happy with her.Kerstin Kugler
Year 5 student Ava worked on multiplying and dividing fractions, along with strategies for solving worded problems involving measurement.
In Year 8, Ethan focused on simplifying algebraic expressions and expanded brackets using step-by-step written methods.
Meanwhile, Year 9 student Lily explored trigonometry basics and practiced applying sine and cosine rules to solve right-angled triangle questions.
A Year 8 student's algebra progress was slowed by inconsistent homework completion—"failed to complete all homework questions," one note recorded.
In Year 10, careless handling of negative signs in calculations led to repeated errors; as observed, "details, careless mistakes" meant that time was spent fixing issues rather than moving forward with new concepts.
For a Year 7 student working on linear graphs, unclear written work and skipping question details made extracting the required information difficult, which disrupted understanding.
Meanwhile, in upper primary maths, forgotten multiplication tables left one student hunting for answers instead of building fluency.
One Herdsman tutor noticed a Year 11 student who used to skip steps now carefully reads each question before starting calculations, leading to fewer careless mistakes in statistics problems.
In Year 8, another student has started bringing completed homework every session and recently tackled balancing equations without prompting—she'd previously needed reminders just to start.
Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who struggled with her 8 and 9 times tables last term can now recall them quickly and managed all the related questions without any hesitation during the lesson.
