Chris is actually very happy with Shehara. He seems motivated. He's had two sessions with her and seems to like it so all good here.Carine
Year 4 student Jack worked on division and multiplication facts, focusing on timed tests to boost recall speed.
In Year 9, Emily concentrated on algebraic techniques—particularly simplifying expressions—and practiced solving linear equations using classroom examples.
For Year 11, Olivia tackled financial mathematics topics including depreciation calculations and understanding shares and dividend yield, progressing to more complex questions for exam readiness.
Several process habits emerged across different year levels.
In Year 10, Danika's "lazy thinking" led her to skip complex algebra questions if they appeared difficult—her tutor observed, "she tends to avoid the questions that don't look manageable." She also relies heavily on formulaic steps and struggles when a problem isn't structured as expected, impacting her confidence and retention.
For Lara (Year 8–9), a tendency to rush through tasks was evident in maths revision: she rarely backchecked work and preferred inserting numbers into formulas without considering underlying concepts. "She needs to slow down and ensure accuracy," noted one session. This meant marks were lost on simple application errors, even when understanding was present.
One Pindimar tutor noticed Danika has started arriving to sessions with her own list of questions she found tricky in class, showing new initiative compared to when she'd wait for help.
Liz, a high school student, used to hesitate with financial maths but now talks through tough problems and even explains her reasoning back—she recently completed all her dividend calculations on paper without missing a step.
Meanwhile, Lara (Year 10) initially struggled to keep up with times tables but has steadily increased her speed; last week she reached 60 correct answers in 100 seconds, nearly doubling her first attempt.
