It was a relief to deal with people not AI. Thank you for being on the other end of the telephone. At 81 years old my typing and internet skills are not increasing.Margaret Hole
Year 9 student Olivia focused on algebraic equations and simplifying expressions, using targeted practice to build confidence with these problem areas.
For Year 8, Ethan worked through financial maths topics including depreciation and calculating dividend yield, applying real-world examples for clarity.
Meanwhile, primary student Liam revised multiplication and division facts alongside angles, making use of diagrams to reinforce his understanding of basic operations and geometry.
In recent sessions, a Year 11 student tackling financial maths was observed to "rely on formulas and putting numbers in to get an answer," which led to confusion when faced with unfamiliar or wordy problems.
In Year 9 algebra, one student hesitated to attempt challenging questions unless the method matched classroom examples; if structure changed, she became stuck until prompted.
Another Year 8 student working through speed and distance struggled with messy written work—her layout made errors hard to spot and correct.
In each case, dependence on procedure over understanding meant deeper learning or independent problem-solving stalled under pressure.
One Soldiers Point tutor recently noticed Danika, a high school student, coming to sessions with her own list of class questions—something she hadn't done before—and working through most problems independently after initially struggling to retain new content.
Another high schooler, Liz, has started tackling advanced financial maths exam questions on her own; she now openly discusses answers and even explains her reasoning when the tutor is unsure, which marks a shift from earlier sessions where she hesitated to speak up.
Meanwhile, in Year 7, Lara managed to apply feedback from previous lessons and completed a practice test almost entirely without help, scoring 22 out of 25.
