Year 7 Emily focused on simplifying ratios and dividing mixed numbers, using practical examples to build understanding.

Year 8 Marley worked through converting decimals to percentages and revisited multiplication basics for fluency.

For Year 7 Lilah, sessions included reading both analogue and 24-hour time as well as practicing addition and multiplication with large numbers to support her school topics.

A Year 8 student often missed the final step when converting improper fractions to mixed numbers, occasionally swapping digits or skipping over key steps—she needs to go through some steps again so that there are no small mistakes such as numbers being swapped around.

In a separate Year 5 session, a student hesitated to start worded problems independently and required repeated encouragement before attempting solutions.

For both, this meant less time spent building independence and confidence, as attention was diverted from consolidating new concepts toward double-checking basic processes and waiting for prompts.

A tutor in Ingle Farm noticed a big change with Duaa, who used to rush through reading without understanding the story—now she pauses to explain what happened on each page and asks questions about new words.

Meanwhile, Emily (Year 7) had been mixing up steps when dividing fractions but last week worked through mixed number division almost independently, only needing reminders for one step.

Another win came from Marley (Year 11), who at first was hesitant in their initial lesson but quickly built strong rapport with the tutor and engaged fully throughout the session.
