This company has been not only efficient in listening and finding a tutor that was suitable, but also very communicative with our requests/needs. I was very last minute in finding one for my brother who was in year 12, but they were able to quickly accommodate me. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for tutoring!Ashes
Year 6 Caitlin worked on index laws and negative indices, simplifying exponential expressions and practicing shortcuts to make calculations more efficient.
In Year 10, Jaeda prepared for her upcoming test by completing practice questions on perimeter, surface area, and volume in maths before switching focus to balancing chemical equations in science.
Meanwhile, Sienna (Year 11) concentrated on integration applications, working through textbook problems involving areas under curves as part of her revision for an upcoming test.
A Year 12 student was encouraged to avoid leaving assignments until the last minute; one tutor noted, "she does get 'bored' if information isn't found quickly," which led to incomplete research in a recent investigation.
In Year 10 Maths Methods, over-reliance on practice questions without creating summary notes meant concepts for unfamiliar problems weren't always consolidated before assessments.
For a Year 6 English session, hesitation in spelling slowed progress—"he still appears to be slightly behind his year level in terms of spelling proficiency"—so self-checking strategies were introduced.
Each scenario saw learning momentum stall when organization or confidence wavered under time pressure or unfamiliarity.
A tutor in Ottoway noticed Sienna, a high school student, came to her session with thoughtful questions about using the graphic calculator—a shift from earlier lessons when she hesitated to ask for help.
Jaeda, also in high school, showed new independence by taking the lead on her maths investigation: she finalised calculations herself and suggested extra methods to explore, having previously needed more step-by-step guidance.
In Year 3, Elouisa moved from relying on prompts for writing tasks to choosing her own topics and self-correcting spelling as she worked—demonstrating real growth in initiative and self-management.
