Year 7 student Sophia focused on simplifying index laws and evaluating order of operations, including practice with decimals from her recent school test.

Year 8 Layla worked through exam revision by applying Pythagoras' theorem to solve right-angled triangle problems and tackling worded questions involving rates and percentages.

For Year 9, Will's sessions concentrated on full content revision for upcoming exams, reviewing algebraic techniques and methods for solving simultaneous equations using substitution and elimination approaches.

A Year 7 student often arrived without all required materials, once needing to redo a lost homework sheet instead of progressing ("lost previous homework sheet so had to spend lesson going through it again").

In Year 10, another student's note-taking was patchy and pattern recognition strategies were not clearly set out, making recall during algebra revision more difficult.

A senior student in Years 11–12 did not complete assigned homework across multiple weeks; this led to missed practice with BODMAS and sign rules, and mistakes repeated on new problems. During one session, the consequence was that time intended for learning new skills was spent fixing old errors.

One Westcourt tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who used to rely on prompts; she arrived with her own study materials and specific questions for test prep, showing much more independence than before.

In Year 8, another student who struggled with angles last term is now solving harder problems solo and even recalling the sum of internal angles without help.

Meanwhile, a younger student made real progress by not just practicing fractions but applying those skills to trickier problems right away—something he hesitated to try at first.
