Adam has been a wonderful tutor for Lauren not only is she catching up on her maths but her confidence has improved dramatically.Michelle, North Adelaide
Year 8 student Nia focused on algebraic expansion and the difference of two squares, working through examples to build confidence with expressions.
Year 9 student Sam tackled solving simultaneous equations using elimination and practised graphing linear equations by hand.
For a Year 7 student, recent sessions included revising fraction rules and strategies for solving equations, with extra attention given to converting fractions into decimals using long division.
A Year 5 student's maths work was sometimes hard to follow, with "spacing out her writing" suggested so she could spot errors more easily.
In Year 7 algebra, one learner repeatedly confused sign-changing rules even when notes were on hand; as the tutor put it, "she made the same mistake regarding 'sign changing' very often despite being reminded and her notes are available."
In a recent Year 10 test week, another student forgot to let the tutor know about an upcoming assessment—missing valuable prep time.
A Year 9 learner occasionally skipped homework altogether, which meant less practice with worded problems.
One Ovingham tutor noticed a big shift with Athena, a high school student who used to hesitate with algebra but tackled most test problems on her own and even scored 87%.
In another session, Constanza, also in high school, began asking more questions instead of waiting for prompts—she'd previously been quiet during lessons but now confidently checks her understanding as she works through equations.
Meanwhile, Valentina in Year 5 started writing out her thought process while solving fraction problems; she'd struggled to explain her steps before but is now much clearer and finished all ten homework questions without errors.
