She is great, lovely and kind. Plus she has the positive energy to deal with the kids. She is generally good with the little ones and has the tactics to keep them engaged. I am happy with her. She gives the right amount of hone work for the rest of the week.Sarah, Clearview
Year 4 student Bianca focused on combinations and practiced the 9 times tables, reinforcing foundational multiplication skills.
For Year 11, Isabelle tackled trigonometric graphs and functions from her Haese textbook, followed by work on probability and statistics using targeted examples.
Meanwhile, Year 12 student Petra concentrated on natural logarithms in her Haese text, then explored differential calculus concepts using first principles to deepen understanding for upcoming assessments.
In Year 12 calculus, skipping steps when setting out derivatives made it harder to spot sign errors—one tutor noted, "she needs to work on how she sets out her answer."
In a Year 9 session, incomplete homework and forgetting materials meant the student could not show recent schoolwork for feedback.
For a Year 3 student, reluctance to complete assigned times tables practice slowed recall in multiplication tasks.
Meanwhile, in Year 11 methods, over-reliance on calculator entry led to bracket mistakes during equation input; corrections ate into lesson time that could have been used tackling new content.
A Lightsview tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 11 student who had previously struggled to apply differentiation formulas—she now confidently implements them and is halfway through mastering sign diagrams, showing real independence compared to earlier sessions.
Meanwhile, a Year 9 student who used to wait for guidance has started attempting maths questions independently before asking for help, demonstrating newfound initiative during their tutoring sessions.
In the primary years, one student became much more fluent in reading aloud after initially hesitating with longer passages; this week she read an entire page smoothly without stopping once.
