The staff were very helpful - all the way from setting up through to the actual tutorials.. The tutor was also one of the best I've ever had for Math. He actually helped me understand how it works, not just memorise formulas.Aleksander
Year 4 student Murray worked on building his fluency with multiplication facts, especially the 9x tables, and practiced mental addition strategies to move away from finger counting.
Year 8 student Jalen focused on solving two-step algebraic equations involving expanding brackets, as well as practicing substitution into algebraic expressions and tackling questions with powers and square roots.
Meanwhile, Year 10 student Callum reviewed trigonometry topics including the sine and cosine rules using diagnostic exam questions, and also revised scientific notation and significant figures to prepare for upcoming assessments.
In Year 8 algebra, one student often forgot to expand the second term in brackets—"sometimes Jalen forgets to expand the 2nd term when expanding a single bracket"—which led to repeated errors on homework even after mastering the process in-session.
For a senior student, exam performance suffered due to pressure and unfamiliar worded problems; as noted, "he does feel the pressure in exams," resulting in mistakes not seen during practice.
Meanwhile, a primary student relied heavily on finger-counting for addition and was only confident with a few times tables, which slowed progress in multi-step calculations.
A recent Woody Point tutoring session saw Callum, a senior high school student, move from hesitancy to confidently solving sine and cosine rule problems he'd previously struggled with—by the end, he could tackle even the trickier examples independently.
In Year 8, Jalen has started catching his own mistakes in algebra; after making small errors on homework, he now checks his work more carefully and gets single-bracket equations correct without prompting.
Meanwhile, Murray in primary school used to count on his fingers for the 9 times tables but now recalls them quickly using memory tricks and is less reliant on finger counting.
Maths doesn't have to be hard. The right support and the right approach change all that. Just ask any student who is doing well in maths - they usually love the feeling of "getting it". This is what we aim to create for students - intellectual independence and joy of learning. It's the only path to success in maths whether your goal is to pass or achieve A's. We focus on the content but also on teaching the right approach to learning maths. Probably the most common mistake students make is rule dependence, trying to memorize what to do without understanding why it's done that way - it doesn't work. But each student has their own issues, some with confidence others with silly mistakes or exam technique ...
