Year 9 student Ali worked on solving equations involving linear algebra and practiced factorising expressions for accuracy.

In Year 11, Jasmine focused on graphing sine, cosine, and tangent functions by exploring the unit circle and tackled trigonometric equations requiring exact values.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Daniel revised annuities calculations in financial mathematics and analysed least squares regression lines using past HSC exam questions for applied statistics practice.

A Year 8 student was encouraged to improve the layout of their working, as "keeping it line by line makes it easier to check for errors"—especially when real-world problems or multi-step equations caused confusion due to skipped steps or messy presentation.

In Year 10, one student hesitated to attempt harder exam questions independently after walkthroughs; without solo practice, confidence and recall in mixed-topic tests wavered.

For a senior student, relying on memorised rules over understanding in trigonometry led to confusion with unfamiliar graphs.

Homework completion sometimes lagged in both middle and senior years—missing a chance to review feedback before upcoming assessments.

A Watersleigh tutor noticed Andrea, a Year 12 student, was able to spot her own errors from a recent exam and chose new approaches for tough function questions—previously she'd just moved on without checking.

In Year 11, Laaibah started showing her working for ratio problems rather than skipping steps, which is a big change from earlier sessions when she avoided writing anything down.

Meanwhile, in Year 9, Isaak tackled complex perimeter and area questions for both 2D and 3D shapes with much more independence than before, solving most without asking for hints.
