Standard Lidia is a great match for my daughter. She is gentle and encouraging and my daughter has responded well to her tutoring. She has gained confidence and her attitude towards maths has really improved.Sarah Marshall, Thebarton
Year 9 student Mia focused on **solving linear equations** and practiced graphing using the gradient-intercept form, including identifying x- and y-intercepts.
Year 10 student Jack worked through **exponential graphs by sketching various forms and translating them** (including reflections), as well as reviewing log rules for simplification.
For Year 11, Priya tackled surds—specifically **simplifying expressions with both single integers and more complex denominators**—and discussed challenges around dividing surds.
Several students showed process-related obstacles across both primary and senior years.
In Year 8, one student frequently arrived late to lessons ("was also 10mins late to the lesson"), which meant less time for support on algebra basics.
A Year 12 student's working for compound interest questions was hard to follow; setting out multi-step solutions in a clearer format would have made back-checking possible when errors appeared.
Another senior student avoided reviewing past mistakes during exponential graph revision, so misunderstandings from previous lessons lingered into new material.
Distraction and inconsistent homework completion in middle years left gaps that resurfaced during mixed problem-solving tasks.
One Thebarton tutor recently noticed a Year 10 student who had previously struggled with long division of polynomials manage to work through the process independently by the end of the lesson, after some initial confusion.
Another high schooler, who was often hesitant to speak up when unsure, started identifying areas from class where she felt lost and actively asked for extra practice—then successfully solved those questions on her own.
Meanwhile, a Year 6 student who used to rush through homework now takes time to back-check answers and explains her problem-solving steps aloud without prompting.
