I am more than happy with Julie, she is just brilliant in every way. In terms of preparation and input I could not ask for more. Just great, and highly recommend Julie as a great advocate for your brand.Nicole, Peakhurst Heights
Year 6 student Charlotte practised area and surface area calculations for both simple and composite shapes, using visual examples to support understanding.
Year 8 student Josh focused on solving linear equations and working with indices in the context of fractions, also touching briefly on geometry concepts.
For Year 10 student Mia, sessions covered financial mathematics including both simple and compound interest problems, along with strategies for breaking down worded exam questions into step-by-step solutions.
In Year 8 mathematics, one student's written work was described as "messy and hard to follow," particularly during algebraic manipulation; this made it easy for small sign errors to go unnoticed until the very end.
A Year 10 student, despite a strong grasp of trigonometric basics, struggled with multi-step problems because they rarely practiced challenging questions—preferring only familiar drills.
Meanwhile, in Year 6, a learner relied heavily on mental calculations instead of writing steps out, leading to frequent mistakes in surface area problems. "Mental maths is a huge time killer," their tutor observed after several sessions spent correcting basic multiplication slips rather than advancing.
One Peakhurst Heights tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who had struggled with algebraic expansion; by the end of their session, she was confidently working through problems that had previously tripped her up.
Another high schooler, after several sessions on trigonometry, began attempting more challenging questions independently and even requested extra examples to solidify new rules—something he hesitated to do before.
Meanwhile, a Year 6 student who used to stay quiet now speaks up when unsure and takes notes on tricky steps so she can revisit them during homework.
