Year 4 student Layla focused on reading analogue and digital clocks and converting between 12-hour and 24-hour time, then worked through subtraction with decimals and multiplying three-digit numbers.

For Year 8, Sophia completed revision on index laws using homework questions from school and practised simplifying ratios and percentages.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Will spent several sessions revising exam content, especially tackling linear equations and solving quadratic equations by working through targeted problems together.

A Year 8 student forgot to bring required materials, which meant "he lost the previous homework sheet and had to spend the lesson going through it again," delaying progress on new algebra skills.

In Year 11, a student's note-taking remained inconsistent throughout the term—key patterns and formulas were not reliably recalled in class, especially when tackling trigonometry problems.

Another senior student left assigned study questions incomplete; this led to uncertainty during revision sessions, as described: "didn't complete assigned study questions—needs to ask teacher for more work." Without regular written practice and preparation, confusion persisted into assessments.

One Portsmith tutor noted a Year 10 student who used to wait passively for help is now bringing her own revision questions and asking about specific concepts before tests, showing real initiative compared to her early sessions.

A Year 11 student who previously struggled with complex angles problems recently worked through most of a difficult worksheet independently, only seeking clarification when stuck—a big shift from needing step-by-step guidance.

Meanwhile, in primary years, one younger student started coming prepared with completed homework and now openly checks her answers for mistakes without prompting, finishing the latest assignment error-free.
