Year 8 student Jeremy focused on Pythagoras' theorem and consolidating measurement and geometry skills for his upcoming semester exam, also practising with frequency tables and histograms.

For Year 7, Willow worked through operations with fractions—including simplifying, converting between mixed numbers and improper fractions, and tackling worded problems—plus some algebra basics using tailored worksheets.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Bella completed maths questions around elapsed time from the EzyMath textbook and practised English comprehension skills through written responses.

A Year 12 student approached exam preparation by focusing on the basics across the curriculum, but as a tutor observed, "I wasn't prepared for the in-depth exam questions," leading to uncertainty when tackling advanced problems.

In Year 10 algebra sessions, skipping steps was evident—"he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors"—making it hard to pinpoint where mistakes crept in.

For a Year 6 maths task, not bringing paper meant calculations couldn't be completed during the lesson.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 English student rarely shared drafts for feedback despite encouragement; this left her written arguments less refined than they could have been.

One Kings Forest tutor noticed that Jeremy, a high school student, has gone from hesitating with algebra and trigonometry to independently tackling complex problems and reliably checking his own work for errors—something he rarely attempted before.

Willow, also in high school, was initially unsure when working with fractions but now confidently converts and compares them without needing reminders, showing real growth in her mathematical independence.

In a recent session with a Year 6 student, Bella started identifying mistakes in her writing on her own rather than waiting for prompts and even requested extra homework to keep practicing—a big shift from her earlier reluctance.
