Year 8 student Emily focused on Pythagoras' theorem and solving algebraic equations, also working through simple interest calculations with step-by-step examples.

In Year 9, Sarah reviewed scientific notation and index laws, clarifying past test issues to strengthen her understanding of exponents.

Meanwhile, Year 6 student Jack practised writing narrative plans based on creative prompts and completed comprehension questions while reading 'The Outsiders' in preparation for class discussions.

A Year 10 student struggled with using diagrams to fully answer multi-part science questions, sometimes leaving parts incomplete when not all figures were considered.

In Year 11, a student spent too long on tough exam questions and ran out of time for sections they knew well—"she didn't attempt the final geometry problem despite having practiced it."

For Year 7 English, one student left their practice paragraph at home and missed out on feedback that session; another did not complete assigned narrative homework, feeling "stuck" after writing only the introduction.

Without bringing materials or completing set tasks, opportunities for growth were missed.

One Usher tutor noticed a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to share his ideas is now volunteering original responses during writing tasks and completing two practice paragraphs for homework, even selecting strong examples without prompting.

A Year 7 student who struggled with multi-step index laws recently worked through indices questions independently, only needing minimal clarification.

Meanwhile, a younger student in Year 3 initially resisted maths games but ended up enjoying them and tackled the hidden message activity on her own. In the last session, she completed all time worksheets independently after reviewing key clock markers.
