Year 10 student Isaac worked through quadratic equations in maths, including more challenging problems, and focused on chemistry skills like writing ionic compounds and naming covalent compounds.

Year 11 student Sophia tackled the binomial theorem by expanding using Pascal's triangle, along with revising index laws for an upcoming formative assessment.

Meanwhile, Year 7 student Eve reviewed trigonometry questions from a past exam and addressed mistakes in similarity and congruence problems, discussing strategies to approach complex questions confidently.

Several high school students missed or did not complete assigned homework, leading to repeated gaps in practice—one Year 10 maths student "could not finish her assigned Homework again" and struggled with graphing tasks.

In senior chemistry, a Year 12 student arrived unprepared without the online textbook, which slowed lesson progress and limited problem-solving.

Organization was also an obstacle for a Year 11 science student who "could not locate the most updated version of the assessment," disrupting feedback on critical work.

These process issues led to lost time troubleshooting basics instead of advancing into deeper revision or exam preparation.

One Hermit Park tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who, after struggling with trigonometry basics, started pinpointing her mistakes and now works through both familiar and complex problems with more accuracy.

A senior student recently brought a full essay draft—along with teacher feedback—to tutoring, having acted on previous advice and showing clearer structure than before.

In a primary session, the student who once hesitated now regularly asks questions when unsure and completes division problems independently. Last week, she finished all her homework independently for the first time.
