Impressive Helga is highly professional and an excellent tutor. Happily we've seen quick results with our Year 10 daughter.Christine Kininmonth
Year 4 student Mia practised division facts and times tables, with a focus on accuracy through quick-fire tests.
For Year 9, Ava worked intensively on algebra—solving equations and simplifying expressions—as well as reviewing key syllabus topics ahead of exams.
Meanwhile, Year 11 student Josh tackled financial mathematics concepts such as depreciation and shares & dividend yield, applying real-world scenarios to solidify understanding.
In Year 11 Financial Maths, one student relied heavily on formulas without grasping their underlying logic—she is too reliant on putting numbers into a given formula, a tutor observed.
This meant that when questions were worded differently or real-world context was needed, confidence dropped and mistakes went unnoticed until feedback was given.
Meanwhile, in Year 8, another student's written work often lacked structure; steps were jumbled or skipped entirely when division or metric conversions appeared, making it hard to backtrack errors.
In both cases, shallow understanding led to confusion when faced with less familiar question styles.
One Nelson Bay tutor recently noticed Danika, a high school student, independently reviewing her maths homework and bringing specific questions she couldn't solve to the session—something she hadn't done before, showing real initiative.
Another high schooler, Liz, has started explaining her reasoning for tricky financial maths problems out loud and even challenged her tutor's approach during revision; previously she would have just accepted answers without discussion.
For a younger student, Lara was able to recall the Distance-Speed-Time triangle formulas from earlier lessons and confidently applied them to new problems on her own in their last session.
