IN MY VIEW, JUST AS IT IS NECESSARY FOR THE DOCTOR FIRST TO DIAGNOSE THE PATIENT'S ILLNESS, SO IT IS EQUALLY NECESSARY FOR THE TEACHER TO DIAGNOSE THE STUDENT'S WEAKNESS AND DIFFICULTIES, FIRST! SO HAVING CONDUCTED A NEEDS ANALYSIS, THEN THE TUTOR SHOULD OPT FOR THE MOST APPROPRIATE APPROACH TO REMOVE THE STUDENT'S WEAKNESSES AND PROBLEMATIC…

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to teach them to learn in a way that maximises their potential. Everyone learns in a different way and I believe a tutor can find what is best for the individual. A tutor needs to be able to teach a student to be able to independently work through challenges. Whilst someone who has…

A tutor should not just solve a question for a student, rather they need to supply the foundations and processes that allow a question to be broken down and solved easily.

Inside AshburtonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 11 student Emily focused on solving trigonometric equations and interpreting tan graphs, before starting introductory work on combinations and permutations.

Year 10 student Sam worked through financial maths problems including compound interest, then explored the use of transition matrices to model real-world scenarios.

Meanwhile, Year 7 student Phoebe revised statistics by calculating mean, median, and mode for grouped data in preparation for an upcoming test.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student often needed extra prompts to start unfamiliar rate and trig graphing questions; "if it was not obvious how to make the triangle, additional prompting was needed." This hesitation slowed progress and meant fewer questions were completed during sessions.

In Year 8 English, one student did not follow their writing plan or think sentences through before starting, which made paragraphs feel disjointed.

For a younger student, forgetting rules for spelling—such as 'ou' versus 'ow'—persisted even after recent revision.

A VCE learner's uncharged laptop limited access to digital notes and disrupted exam preparation in the moment.

Recent Achievements

One Ashburton tutor recently noticed a big shift with a Year 11 student who, after struggling to apply financial maths formulas, started introducing new shortcuts and solving problems more independently.

In another session, a Year 9 student who previously needed lots of prompting was able to tackle simultaneous equations solo once she'd worked through an example together.

Meanwhile, one younger student made clear progress by writing longer sentences and handling harder subtraction questions with minimal help—she now separates her ideas into paragraphs without reminders.

Last week, a high schooler finished every question on their trig worksheet correctly, including those involving horizontal translations.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I enjoyed working with the team and I found tutoring with EzyMath Tutoring to be an incredibly rewarding experience. I would recommend any high school or primary school student to request tutoring through EzyMath Tutoring as I believe the staff organises tutoring incredibly well and provide an incredible amount of educational material to EzyMath Tutoring tutors. I would personally thank you for all your help and encouragement throughout the program.

I find the monthly parent report very informative and am impressed with the standard of tutoring provided by Zev, not to mention his professionalism. If anybody was to ask me about student tutoring I would not hesitate to thoroughly recommend Ezymath tutoring!

Najib is making progress with Daniel and he feels more confident about tackling maths problems. I am sure Daniel will continue to improve under Najib's careful direction.

Local Spots for Tutoring

If you'd prefer not to have lessons at home, tutoring can also take place at a local library—such as Ashburton Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Michael's School.
