We are very happy with our tutor Pradeep. He was brilliant! He helped my daughter with math's test preparation. He explained everything fast and clear. It was a lot of things to cover, but he did it so well. Moreover, my daughter got 90% in her recent maths test thanks to Pradeep.Olga
Year 4 student Jamie worked on advanced reading comprehension under timed conditions and built vocabulary through cloze passages.
In Year 10, Sebastien focused on comparative essay writing—structuring paragraphs to analyse The Tempest and Hag-Seed together—and practiced thesis statements for All the Light We Cannot See using sample HSC questions.
Meanwhile, Year 11 student Alex refined long response writing skills by planning and composing introductions collaboratively, with targeted feedback on integrating sophisticated language into academic essays.
In Year 9 English, one student repeatedly reused familiar phrases and techniques in essay writing, which narrowed vocabulary growth and made arguments feel formulaic. As noted, "language should be expanded," yet attempts to introduce new words often led to uncertainty and hesitation mid-task.
In Year 11 comparative essays, another student struggled with paragraph structure—layout was sometimes confusing, making it hard to follow the logic of their argument or meet criteria for comparison.
During a recent Year 7 maths session, inconsistent back-checking on worded problems meant small errors crept into otherwise strong answers; time was spent fixing slips rather than building confidence.
A tutor in Mount Pleasant recently noticed some real growth with students across a few year levels. One high school student, Sebastien, used to stick to the same basic vocabulary but now deliberately swaps in more sophisticated words and has begun drafting assignments earlier without prompting—he even shared his Google doc for feedback before the deadline.
Another senior student had struggled with trigonometry, but after working through problems together started asking clarifying questions independently and successfully tackled new trig questions on his own.
In primary maths, one Year 3 girl who found telling time difficult worked out her own method after practice and now explains her thinking out loud as she solves problems.
