Year 9 student Georgia focused on strengthening her algebra skills, revisiting equations and problem-solving methods to target her main area of difficulty.

For Year 7 student Tyler, recent sessions addressed adding and subtracting decimals, rounding numbers, and consolidating his understanding of fractions in preparation for a maths grading exam.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student worked through financial mathematics topics including depreciation calculations and shares with dividend yield, tackling both standard questions and more challenging applications.

In Year 7 Maths, one student's workbook was "a little more organised and tidy but we will work on that for next year," reflecting ongoing challenges with presentation and structure.

In senior levels, a Year 11 Extension student frequently skipped writing working out—"she still likes to work out in her head!"—which made it difficult to spot errors or understand thought processes, especially during complex problems where written steps were needed.

Meanwhile, a Year 10 student tended to avoid multi-step or wordy algebra questions if they appeared unfamiliar, missing chances to develop deeper problem-solving skills and confidence when tasks looked daunting.

One North Arm Cove tutor noticed Danika, a high school student, now comes to sessions with her questions ready and has developed her own methods for back-checking her maths work—previously she would hesitate to identify gaps or rely on prompting.

Another recent win came from Elliott in senior maths: he's started explaining his reasoning out loud when tackling new calculus topics, rather than quietly waiting for correction, which helps him spot errors and deepen his understanding.

Meanwhile, Lara in Year 6 surprised her tutor by independently applying exam strategies to a practice test and achieving 22 out of 25 marks, something she'd struggled with before.
