Connor is really enjoying the sessions with James and finds him very helpful. He says James can explain things very clearly and is helping him get through his work and study more efficiently. He has a maths exam this week and is feeling more confident already.Fiona, Lane Cove
Year 5 student Olivia worked on converting decimals to fractions and solving area problems using visual models.
For Year 9, Ethan focused on linear algebra and interpreting bivariate data, including reading scatterplots.
Meanwhile, Year 11 student Sarah tackled trigonometry concepts alongside finding surface area of complex solids, often drawing diagrams to support her understanding.
Several students in Years 9 and 10 struggled with showing clear, step-by-step working in algebra or measurement questions; as one tutor observed, "he still needs work on setting his work out properly and concisely," which led to missed marks when minor errors crept in.
In Year 12, a student tackling financial maths found formula substitutions confusing because she hadn't familiarised herself with the provided formula sheet before trials—this slowed her progress during practice tests.
Meanwhile, a Year 7 student avoided homework tasks on linear relationships, leaving gaps that showed up during class revision sessions when connections between variables were unclear.
One Northwood tutor noticed a Year 11 student who previously hesitated with linear algebra now working through multi-step equations without prompting, even explaining his reasoning out loud.
In another session, a Year 9 student who used to leave questions blank on area and perimeter has started attempting every problem and asking follow-up questions when stuck.
Meanwhile, a Year 7 student surprised her tutor by identifying different types of triangles correctly after struggling to distinguish them last week; she confidently named each one during their practice set.
