Electra is a Miracle Tutor! I have a very difficult, stubborn 16year old boy. Electra, somehow , got inside his head and now my 16year old is trying to improve. He is finally making an effort in a subject that he couldn't care less about, but is a core subject! I'm so very impressed by Electras Skill!Kristan Mendelson
Year 4 student Ella worked on understanding the order of operations (BIDMAS) and identifying rational versus irrational numbers.
In Year 10, Taylor practiced expanding algebraic expressions and rearranging equations using both worksheets and textbook problems.
Meanwhile, Year 12 student Jakob focused on financial mathematics by reviewing annuities and loan repayments through targeted practice questions from a General Maths worksheet.
A Year 11 student preparing for a General Maths test relied heavily on notes during revision, as observed in "revision before the test would be done without notes." This made it difficult to recall key steps independently.
In Year 9 algebra, another student skipped working out and showed only final answers—"requires more working out for question solution"—which meant sign errors went unnoticed until checking time.
Meanwhile, a senior student tackling annuities questions missed subtle mistakes in written work, leading to repeated confusion when reviewing past sessions.
During primary multiplication drills, one child continued counting on fingers instead of practicing mental recall; this slowed progress and made multi-step problems daunting.
A tutor in Mount Cotton noticed that a Year 11 student, who previously needed regular prompts to show working out, has started writing each step for her solutions—a shift that's crucial for gaining marks on written exams.
In another session, a Year 12 student chose to tackle past exam papers independently and now works through most questions solo, only checking notes when truly stuck.
Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner who once hesitated with basic addition is not only completing sums faster but now chooses to play math games independently that involve new multiplication skills without waiting for help.
