It was very easy actually, the company have been good to deal with and found is a tutor within a few days. The tutor contacted me and communicated very well, he wanted to know all about what my son was struggling with in maths so he co up led prepare. He arrived on time and my son felt like he was a good fit for him. Hopefully it continues well!Eliza, Thornbury
Year 11 student Zoe revised **indices and algebra** in preparation for an upcoming test, then explored linear systems including midpoints, distance between points, parallel and perpendicular lines.
Hamish, also Year 11, focused on **algebraic techniques and index laws** while preparing to re-sit a test.
Genevieve in Year 8 worked through complex worded problems involving **multiplicative thinking**, as well as consolidating skills with decimals and long multiplication using step-by-step practice.
A Year 11 student preparing for calculus found that working mostly in her head—rather than on paper—led to confusion with integration steps; as one tutor noted, "writing each line out would have caught the missed 'c' value."
Meanwhile, a Year 9 chemistry student relied heavily on memory rather than structured notes, which made it harder to check molecule charges and states during practice questions.
In Year 5 maths, skipping written working when subtracting large numbers meant carrying errors went unnoticed until checking time.
Confidence wavered after mistakes in these moments, leading to slower progress through multi-step problems.
A Northcote tutor noticed that Hamish, a Year 11 student, started using his own organised notes to independently work through tricky indices problems—something he hesitated to do in earlier sessions.
Faith, in Year 8, moved from needing step-by-step support with expanding equations to solving them more accurately and quickly by the end of her lesson.
In primary years, Genevieve showed a new willingness to try different methods for division when remainders came up; she now explains her steps out loud instead of waiting for prompts.
Last week, Zoe identified her own mistakes while working on linear systems and corrected them without help.
