Keertana is by far the best tutor I had, way better than James An. Learning. She is very patient and has a way of explaining math principles. I have developed much more confidence now that she is guiding me with my maths journey..Dani
Year 4 student Scarlett focused on developing structured paragraphs for creative writing, explored sentence types and punctuation, and practiced using Greek and Latin roots in vocabulary tasks.
Year 12 student Aimee revised advanced Chemistry topics such as stoichiometry (with emphasis on mole-mass conversions), equilibrium, and Food Chemistry by working through targeted practice questions from past SACs and exams.
Charli, also in Year 12, tackled Biology content including the innate and adaptive immune systems as well as evolution, regularly applying her knowledge through exam-style multiple choice and short answer questions.
In Year 9 English, Scarlett often rushed her written responses and skipped words when reading aloud, which led to confusion in sentence structure tasks—her tutor noted, "she answered promptly and then immediately realised that she had answered incorrectly."
In contrast, Aimee (Year 12 Chemistry) sometimes became overwhelmed by complex questions and tended to overcomplicate answers instead of breaking them down with diagrams or stepwise logic. This made it difficult for her to apply rules accurately under exam conditions.
Meanwhile, Cameron (Year 7) struggled with attention to detail in punctuation exercises; missed subjects or adverbs led to recurring errors that slowed progress on quizzes.
One Opossum Bay tutoring session saw Aimee, a high school chemistry student, attempt stoichiometry questions before lesson—despite not having covered the topic in class yet. She now asks targeted questions to clarify concepts rather than waiting passively, which is a big shift from earlier sessions.
Charli, also in high school, was proactive about pinpointing her weak areas and sought clarification during discussions; this openness helped her apply new knowledge accurately to quiz questions.
Meanwhile, Cameron (Year 7) demonstrated newfound independence drafting writing pieces and eagerly incorporating feedback on grammar and punctuation.
