We have been thrilled with Yasmeen as a tutor. She has a warm, personal approach and my daughter connected with her immediately. We found that she has a good way of explaining new concepts and gives a very encouraging approach. We would recommend Yasmeen highly.Joanna Bush
Year 10 student Mia focused on solving quadratic equations using the quadratic formula and practiced forming quadratics from geometric shapes.
For Year 11, Tom worked through applications of trigonometry and Pythagoras' theorem, using diagrams to visualize problems.
Meanwhile, Year 12 student Lily reviewed derivatives from first principles and applied differentiation techniques to calculus questions from the Cambridge Maths Methods textbook.
In Year 8, one student's revision for algebra focused mainly on repeating familiar types rather than tackling harder or unfamiliar questions; as noted, "spending less time on simpler examples" left trickier worded problems untouched.
In Year 10, another student used the CAS calculator heavily to solve exponential equations but was "less confident when asked to show steps by hand," making it hard to spot errors and limiting understanding.
A senior student in Mathematical Methods often relied on memorising formulas instead of practicing rearranging equations—when faced with application tasks, this approach led to confusion during multi-step optimisation problems.
A Macedon tutor noticed a Year 11 student who had previously hesitated with derivatives now confidently drawing derivative graphs and clearly explaining their reasoning by the end of the lesson.
In Year 10, one student who used to struggle with worded problems is now independently solving simultaneous equations through elimination—she even tackled a tricky polygon angle problem without prompting this week.
At primary level, a Year 4 learner who would quietly guess answers during maths sessions started raising his hand to ask clarifying questions about simple interest and tax tables, showing real initiative in recent Macedon tutoring sessions.
