Standard Annalise feels that she has benefited enormously from her first two sessions with her tutor, Muqeet. We both find him to be a thoughtful, empathetic and very encouraging young man. Annalise reported feeling more confident to answer questions in class and even helping her classmate get a correct answer after only her first session with Muqeet.Angela
Year 8 student Lucy worked through rates, ratios, and introductory trigonometry using real-life word problems.
In Year 11, Daniel focused on financial mathematics topics including simple and compound interest as well as depreciation calculations with sample HSC questions.
Meanwhile, Year 12 student Emily practiced advanced exam techniques by tackling past papers covering the normal distribution and annuities alongside targeted revision of continuous probability distributions.
A Year 9 student faced issues with exam-style questions when relying on notes instead of practicing unaided; "practice under timed conditions" revealed persistent errors that were only noticed after time ran out.
In Year 11, messy working and skipping over hints in complex algebra led to lost marks—one tutor observed, "he missed details hidden in the question stimulus."
Meanwhile, a Year 12 student tackling normal distributions avoided harder variants, focusing revision on familiar types rather than diverse exam problems. This meant confidence dropped sharply when unexpected formats appeared during practice assessments.
One Scotland Island tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 11 student who, after struggling with algebra earlier in the term, was able to solve complex equations independently without prompting.
Another win came from a Year 10 session where the student arrived already prepared with specific questions—something they'd hesitated to do before—which meant the lesson focused directly on what they found most challenging.
At primary level, a younger student quickly remembered and applied content from last week's session, working through new problems independently for the first time.
