Proven she has a very good approach teaching my daughter yr 11 to easily understand complex topic on her math subject and friendly.sherla, Runaway Bay
Year 5 student Sophie worked on converting between time units and understanding time zones, using real-life examples for practice.
In Year 9, Riley focused on trigonometry basics and revising area and perimeter problems to prepare for upcoming assessments.
Meanwhile, Year 10 student Suneha tackled advanced trigonometric formulas including the reduction formula, as well as laws of logarithms and applying them to solve equations.
A Year 8 student left both their homework booklet and spelling exercise book at school, which made it difficult to follow up on assigned practice and slowed progress in consolidating new skills.
In Year 10 maths, as a tutor observed, "he hasn't done the homework I gave on the 10th," meaning essential practice for surface area and volume was missed before upcoming assessments.
For a senior Biology assignment, feedback suggested the student struggled to organise draft notes effectively and address teacher comments—this led to confusion when refining the evaluation section.
Each of these moments limited deeper understanding or timely improvement.
One Runaway Bay tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 11 student who, after struggling to communicate her thinking, now talks herself through algebra and logarithm problems out loud—catching errors and asking for clarification when needed.
A Year 8 maths student, previously hesitant to tackle algebra on her own, completed all of her assigned homework independently this week and even started asking questions about trickier concepts instead of waiting for help.
Meanwhile, a Year 4 boy who used to avoid timed activities asked to be timed during a compound words task and finished it in under 16 seconds.
