It was really weird. Even though Balfour had previously spent a fortune hiring all sorts of famous tutors for him, no matter how in-depth their explanations were, he always seemed to turn a deaf ear. However, when Ellinor explained using drawings, he could understand it easily.
After answering a question, Ellinor pushed the paper to Byran, "Alright, I've explained the problem, and the formulas used are all applicable to the topics you're currently studying. The rest of the problems require you to apply these formulas. You don't need to show me once you're done; just hand them over to Balfour."
Byran obeyed without hesitation, redoing the paper that Balfour had almost torn to shreds previously.
Working on the problems next to Ellinor was way less stressful than being next to Balfour. Once he relaxed, Byran found it much easier to concentrate. He went from not understanding the problems at first to understanding what they meant and knowing how to solve them.
After he was done, he didn't ask Ellinor to check for him but gratefully said, "Thank you! I think I can do some of the problems now; I'll go and have Balfour check if they're correct!"
Ellinor just responded casually, continuing her work while saying, "Just a friendly tip, you might want to practice your handwriting. Even elementary school students write better than you."
Byran blushed, "Hmph, that's my personal style. What would you know!"
Ellinor just raised an eyebrow, not caring whether he took her advice or not. She just couldn't stand his handwriting and couldn't help but speak up.
