Jack is fantastic, he is patient and really understands where the student is at in terms of their development needs. Would highly recommend.Catherine
Year 6 student Emily focused on adding and subtracting mixed fractions, then converting results to mixed numbers, and worked on placing both fractions and decimals accurately along a number line.
In Year 8, Josh tackled solving equations for variables on both sides and practised expanding and simplifying algebraic expressions using the FOIL method.
Meanwhile, Year 9 student Milan reviewed trigonometry fundamentals from Years 9 and 10 as preparation for starting Year 11 Maths Applications, including practice with general trigonometric questions due to not yet having access to their textbook.
A Year 8 student, while tackling linear equations, often skipped writing out steps and hesitated to show working unless prompted—"she still very often will check to see if she has the correct answer before showing me what she got," noted one tutor.
In Year 10, test anxiety surfaced: a student became overwhelmed during a multi-step algebra problem and needed a break before regaining focus.
Meanwhile, in primary years, another struggled with messy number alignment in long division tasks; this led to calculation errors that weren't spotted until the end of the session, making review slower and more frustrating.
A tutor in Waikiki noticed one Year 9 student who used to rely on rules now actively checks her algebraic answers by expanding and comparing with the original question, showing real initiative.
Another high schooler recently began voicing confusion as soon as it arises rather than working in silence, which has helped him tackle harder times tables much faster.
For a younger student, getting mixed up between prism and pyramid nets was a challenge at first, but after practice she could reliably identify and sort them—especially when shapes were connected to familiar objects like bananas.
It takes a lot to do well in biology. Moving up the curriculum can be a challenge and if students don't jump in with both feet it's easy to fall behind.
