Year 8 student Ava focused on collecting like terms and simplifying algebraic expressions, including fractions.

For Year 10 Jack, the lesson addressed stages of meiosis in biology and reviewed which syllabus topics he needed to prioritise.

Meanwhile, Year 11 Felix worked through solving simultaneous equations using substitution and rearranging algebraic formulas to make a variable the subject.

A Year 11 student preparing for financial maths assessments struggled to recall formulas and sometimes made "silly mistakes on interest calculations," which led to repeated corrections instead of building confidence.

In Year 9 algebra, a student hesitated to show full working when rearranging equations; as noted, "she practiced clearly showing her working out...however this needs to become more of a habit."

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner found telling time with minutes challenging and often avoided writing answers if unsure, slowing progress on word problems.

Without regular revision or using feedback from homework, concepts like simultaneous equations and meiosis diagrams were quickly forgotten.

One West Bathurst tutor noticed a Year 11 student who had struggled to explain her mathematical reasoning now actively talking through her working out during NAPLAN practice, needing less prompting each time.

In a recent biology session, a Year 10 student who previously mixed up cell processes was able to clearly distinguish between meiosis and mitosis and articulate their roles in genetic variation.

Meanwhile, a primary student showed real initiative by spotting errors in her own test answers and asking to retry the questions independently—something she used to avoid.
