Standard Our son really likes his Maths Tutor, who has developed a great rapport with him. He is now keen to do the work and put in the effort to improve his Maths. We are very impressed and can't speak highly enough of his Tutor.Jenny
Year 4 student Jason focused on times tables (6, 7, 8, and 9) and worked through a Naplan practice book to strengthen number skills.
Year 8 student Ella tackled simplifying linear equations and exponent rules with targeted practice questions from class resources.
Meanwhile, Year 10 student Luka reviewed expanding and factorising polynomials of varying degrees as well as analysed a poem for English by identifying different literary techniques and their effects.
A Year 10 student faced challenges in structuring essays—writing lacked clear organization, which made arguments hard to follow ("Structure of writing in different styles" was noted as an area for improvement).
Meanwhile, a senior student in Mathematics repeatedly relied on skipping calculation steps during long division; this left working unclear and caused errors when the remainder seemed obvious. As one tutor remarked, "be sure to complete all 4-steps for each digit so the teacher can see how you got your final answer."
For a Year 12 student, forgetting materials led to time lost settling into lessons rather than practicing annuities and inequalities.
A Killara tutor recently noticed a Year 10 student who used to hesitate with algebra now actively asks questions about his mistakes and wants to understand where he went wrong—a real shift from guessing through problems.
Another high schooler, Sienna, struggled at first with using matrices in complex worded problems but finished the session able to apply matrix recursion independently and interpret transition matrices for percentage changes on her own.
In primary, Maya started telling her tutor whenever she didn't know an answer instead of staying quiet, which has helped her quickly correct misconceptions as they come up.
