Sharren is wonderful. They have formed an instant connection, and Bree is already feeling more confident and did an open book maths test yesterday without looking at the book hardly at all. Sharren is already a part of the house when i walk through the door and she is already in my opinion, the best tutor for BreeGemma, Mount Pritchard
Year 4 student Arabella practised telling time on both analogue and digital clocks, and compared fractions visually using shapes.
Year 7 student Elena focused on interpreting column graphs in data, as well as simplifying algebraic expressions by collecting like terms and substituting values for variables.
Meanwhile, a Year 10 student worked through quadratic equations using the quadratic formula, then applied trigonometry concepts to solve right-angled triangle problems with step-by-step guidance.
A Year 9 student avoided showing working in algebra, saying "I just went straight to the answer," which hid sign errors and made it difficult to spot calculation slips—especially with negatives.
In a Year 7 session, homework was brought in the wrong notebook and worded questions were skipped if they looked hard; this led to gaps when reviewing feedback.
Meanwhile, a senior student tackling quadratic factorisation struggled to attempt new question types independently, hesitating unless prompted.
In primary years, a focus on only familiar times tables slowed progress with division tasks, while rushed written work meant punctuation and layout were inconsistent even when answers were correct.
One Mount Pritchard tutor noticed a Year 10 student who'd always hesitated with substitution and parallel lines start to independently solve these questions after several weeks of targeted practice, now confidently working through them without prompting.
In Year 7, a student who previously rushed and made frequent errors on "jump strategy" problems slowed down, took her time, and answered every question correctly in the last session—a big shift from her earlier frustration.
Meanwhile, a younger learner who used to struggle telling time now reads both digital and analogue clocks smoothly and even draws clock faces accurately on her own.
