Gracie, she has been very accommodating and has had the patience to work with my son. Even though I have not met her in person, she seems to be very dedicated.Alex
Year 7 student Tyler focused on adding and subtracting decimals and fractions, as well as rounding numbers up and down, using exercises from his school maths booklet in preparation for a grading exam.
For Year 10, recent lessons covered domain and range of functions—using simple graphs to visualise intervals—and solving simultaneous equations by rearranging formulas.
A senior student worked through financial mathematics topics including depreciation methods and calculating dividend yields for shares, alongside practicing simple and compound interest problems with real-life scenarios.
In Year 7 Maths, a student's workbook was "a little more organised and tidy but we will work on that for next year"—messy layout slowed review of decimal multiplication and long division.
A Year 10 student struggled with confidence after a difficult practice test, losing track of which algebraic processes to use and mixing up rules; as the tutor noted, "Danika got a little confused with which processes to use and got them mixed up often."
In Extension 1 Maths, another student hesitated to attempt unfamiliar problems without prompting, replying "I don't know" too quickly instead of problem-solving aloud. This reluctance left some trigonometry revision unfinished.
One Tighes Hill tutor recently noticed Danika, a high school student, now regularly prepares questions from class ahead of sessions—whereas before she'd just wait for help—showing real initiative in her learning.
In another session, Liz was able to explain tricky z-score problems back to the tutor and confidently justify her answers, which is a big shift from earlier sessions where she hesitated to speak up about her thinking.
With a Year 6 student, Lara showed new persistence by tackling harder times tables under timed conditions; she used to give up quickly but this time kept working until personal best of 32 correct answers in 100 seconds.
