Year 7 student Ava focused on collecting like terms and substituting values into algebraic expressions, using worked examples for practice.

For Year 9, Jack tackled trigonometry applications in right-angled triangles—specifically solving for unknown sides with given angles—and also revised Pythagoras' theorem through diagrams.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Felix concentrated on financial maths topics including calculating simple and compound interest, along with converting percentages to decimals as part of money-related problem solving.

In Year 9 mathematics, one student often forgot to show working when rearranging algebraic equations, making it hard to identify calculation slips; as a tutor observed, "her steps were missing in multi-step problems, which led to repeated sign errors."

In Year 7, messy handwriting and unclear layout made time-telling tasks with minutes more confusing, especially under pressure.

Meanwhile, a senior biology student struggled to recall key terminology after lessons—revisiting class notes was avoided, so confusion lingered into the next session.

For another in Year 4, guessing times tables rather than practicing regularly meant slow progress on division.

A Robin Hill tutor noticed one Year 11 student who previously hesitated to explain her thinking now clearly talks through each step when solving simultaneous equations, making fewer errors as a result.

In Year 10 science, Jack moved from mixing up meiosis and mitosis to confidently describing the differences and their roles in genetic variation.

Meanwhile, a younger student who used to avoid time-telling activities can now read both digital and analogue clocks with ease, often volunteering answers without prompting.

Last week, that same student finished a full set independently of time problems for the first time.
