Standard Elvira has turned out to be amazing with my daughter. Really organised, has study plans prepared etc. My daughter is extremely happy. Elvira is just great and what she needed for BiologyProbal Das Gupta
Year 7 student Lucas worked on simplifying algebraic expressions using index rules and practiced expanding expressions through the distributive law, with some time spent on talking aloud strategies to boost understanding.
For Year 8, Emily focused on financial maths by solving income and taxation word problems as well as applying simple interest formulas in practical scenarios.
Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ethan revised arithmetic and geometric series, building fluency in working with sequences for upcoming assessments.
Several high school students have not been completing assigned homework, particularly in algebra and trigonometry, which limits their exposure to problem types needed for independent mastery.
One Year 10 student often attempts multi-step questions mentally rather than writing steps, leading to hesitation and missed operations—"he tends to try attempting questions in his head before attempting to write it on paper."
In senior years, avoidance of test-like revision means difficulty applying techniques to unfamiliar calculus or integration problems.
In a Year 11 lesson, forgetting formulas or being unsure when to use them slowed progress during worded applications.
Confidence dips were visible after setbacks with interest calculations or logarithms; written working would sometimes be avoided if uncertainty crept in.
A tutor in Norah Head noticed that a Year 10 student who used to hesitate with algebraic word problems now attempts them without prompting, especially after working on real-life scenarios together.
Another high school student, previously reliant on formula sheets for trigonometry, is starting to recall the sine and cosine ratios from memory when tackling equations about tides and waves.
Meanwhile, a younger primary student recently moved from confusion about perimeter and area to independently calculating both for squares and rectangles—she finished her last worksheet without needing any hints.
