We were delighted with the service Mahmud provided. He worked very well with Daniel and was cheerful and calm.Ashley, Leda
Year 5 student Elliot practised finding area and perimeter of composite shapes, worked through unit conversion problems, and completed a symmetry worksheet; for English, he built spelling skills and explored sentence starters for essays.
Year 8 student Stella focused on graphing linear equations and converting decimals to percentages and fractions as part of exam preparation.
In Year 9, Danica tackled solving basic algebraic equations and applied this understanding to worded algebra problems to deepen her grasp of the topic.
Leaving maths homework incomplete meant class time was spent revisiting the same concepts rather than progressing ("if he doesn't complete his homework, we have to revise the same concepts in class again").
Written work was often messy and hard to follow—especially on multi-step problems—which made it difficult for her to spot calculation errors and slowed down her problem-solving.
An over-reliance on calculators led to gaps in mental arithmetic, especially during non-calculator tasks in tests.
A recent Leda tutoring session saw a Year 10 student, Danica, show real growth in her ability to solve algebraic equations; she now completes most questions independently after initially needing step-by-step guidance.
In Year 7 maths, Elliot has begun actively asking for help when stuck instead of quietly guessing—he recently used this approach to master mental maths problems he found challenging last term.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth in Year 4 tackled word problems involving decimals with much less prompting than before and finished the final set on her own by the end of the lesson.
