I had the great opportunity to observe Mary with her student Olivia. Today they split their session in half, 1st revising her practice HSC written response, then proceeding with Maths.

Together they went over the markings done by her teacher, for her Human Experiences essay. Mary went over what improvements she needed to make, stating what she needed to incorporate to be more descriptive with her essay to become more sophisticated and ultimately increase her marks.

For the second half of the lesson they went over Standard Maths. They began chapter 9, where Mary explained how to convert scale on the map from what is measured to the distance between towns.

All in all, her explanation of concepts in both English and Maths were very easy to comprehend, allowing her student to understand and apply what she said into their work.
