🤩 Newfound confidence

The Challenge

Campbell’s experience with Maths had been a rocky one and he’d never placed much importance on it until it became a prerequisite for his desired university. Campbell’s marks weren’t the strongest however he had a really good support network that encouraged him to keep going. Despite this, Campbell received a disappointing 30% during his HSC Trials which meant he had to get help to turn his marks around quickly.

I’ve struggled with Maths pretty much most of my schooling life. I considered dropping quite a few times with the papers ready to drop too. When I saw the 30%, I was ready to give up.

Key Problems

😒 Campbell had never really liked Maths and found it difficult to keep going when he received bad marks

🧩 Campbell looked at questions individually rather than conceptually and so wasn’t effectively correcting his mistakes

😩 Campbell needed to complete HSC Advanced Maths as a prerequisite for entry into his desired university

Our Approach

Campbell started working with Tiana who identified that Campbell’s best bet for attaining marks was in the first half of his maths paper. As a result, Campbell primarily focused on completing and developing accuracy in questions at the beginning of past papers. Additionally, Tiana was helping Campbell draw connections between seemingly difference questions and gain a better understanding of maths concepts. By creating a comfortable environment, Campbell felt like he could ask for help at any time rather than silently struggling.

Working with Tiana I could ask questions and not feel judged, the way she went about it really suited my perspective as I view maths differently so her keying into that was really helpful.
