Max has made a difference to my daughters learning approach and understanding of her maths. My daughter said to me that it is the first time she understood the work given to her. Thank you Max, keep up the great standard of tutoring..Sophie Fisher
Year 4 student Isla practised division and multiplication through quick-fire tests to build confidence with number facts.
For Year 9, Olivia focused on algebraic techniques and tackled problem areas using step-by-step examples, while also revisiting key parts of the year's maths syllabus.
Meanwhile, Year 11 student Ethan worked on financial mathematics concepts such as shares, dividend yield, and depreciation by applying formulas to real-world scenarios.
A Year 11 student repeatedly relied on formulas and "plugging in numbers" for financial maths, but hesitated when worded or unfamiliar questions appeared. As one tutor noted, "she is too reliant on putting numbers into a given formula." This made it harder to adapt when the question format changed, leading to confusion under pressure.
Meanwhile, a Year 9 student's written work in algebra and speed/time problems was often messy or poorly structured, making errors hard to spot and correct.
In both cases, over-reliance on procedures without deep understanding limited confidence and left gaps when revision covered only familiar styles.
One Taylors Beach tutor noticed Danika now organises her questions ahead of time and openly asks for help on tricky algebra topics—where she used to stay quiet if unsure.
In another recent session, Liz demonstrated a shift from needing step-by-step guidance to confidently explaining her reasoning during advanced financial maths problems, even teaching back parts of the method.
For a younger student, Lara's willingness to tackle harder times tables has grown; instead of giving up quickly, she now pauses to think and tries different strategies before asking for support.
