We could not be more happy with the service. Anna is superb, she has Millie laughing in the class and it is probably the first time maths has made Millie smile! We really appreciate the effort she puts in, and the rapport she has built with our daughter.Lisa
Year 7 student Willow focused on **solving algebraic equations** and working through challenging fraction operations, often using step-by-step examples to build confidence.
A Year 8 session with Sam centred on expanding brackets in algebra and **applying the index laws**, breaking down each problem for clarity.
Meanwhile, Year 9 student Jamie tackled linear equations and practiced **graphing these on the Cartesian plane**, reinforcing understanding through targeted practice questions.
A Year 8 student frequently avoided writing out working in algebra, saying "I can do this in my head," but missing steps led to lost marks—especially with sign errors and simplifications.
In Year 6, homework was often left incomplete, limiting the chance to build confidence through regular practice.
During a Year 10 graphing lesson, not labelling axes or intercepts meant answers were only partially correct, which caused confusion when reviewing mistakes.
Meanwhile, one primary student hesitated to attempt all assigned questions for fear of making errors; as a tutor noted, "she'd rather leave it blank than risk a wrong answer."
A Tootgarook tutoring session saw Riley, a high school student, finally tackle linear graphing independently—after weeks of needing help, he could now substitute values for x and plot the points himself.
Willow (Year 8) used to rely on step-by-step guidance for equations but is now solving complicated algebraic questions in her head, even asking for extra challenges when she finishes early.
Meanwhile, Gracie in primary has started following multi-step instructions without reminders; last lesson, she worked through all perimeter problems unaided and double-checked her answers before moving on.
