For me, the two things that aided me most when I was being tutored in highschool were practice questions given to me by tutors and when these tutors took their time to really deconstruct these concepts until I fully understood them. My biggest strength is patience. Sometimes it takes students a long time to begin to understand certain concepts and…

I think that as a tutor, we should be different from teachers at school. We should provide extra care to their needs and catering to what areas of a particular topic they are struggling with, in order for them to improve. Therefore, I think that conducting a personalized teaching plan for the students to observe and explore what methods they can…
A tutor can change a student's perspective towards studies and make difficult subjects easy for them. Thereby boosting a student's confidence in the subject, which enables them to further share this knowledge with fellow classmates when they have a difficulty. I am very patient and willing to explain the concepts again and again with examples till…
The goal of a tutor is to help the students gain confidence in their subject and help the student with their grades.

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is to teach a student how to pursue their own studies, that is, if I can teach a student how to study without the need for a tutor, that's worth more than tutoring them the whole year and it will serve them well for the rest of their life.
An excellent tutor will keep their students motivated and…
Provide the student with confidence in their own learning ability.

A tutor can make the complicated things easier. Also, can make a proper timetable and show a way how to study strategically without getting bored or stressed I can easily amalgamate with my student as a friend and I think that's my most powerful side as a tutor. This is because they don't hesitate to tell me their problems and that's how I get to…
Be empathetic and put yourself in the shoes of the student whole teaching them, to understand how they view the subject at hand and how you can help them understand it better. It's also important to be well prepared and to be willing to listen to the student's ideas and concerns and open to research anything needed in more depth to help the…
A tutor's primary objective is to ensure that the student truly understands the content, and while doing so, the tutor must present the material in an interesting and engaging manner. If done correctly, this may ignite a passion in the student for the subject. I have a deep understanding of the fundamentals of mathematics, which will allow me to…
I think the most important is to follow the students lead. They will often know their weaknesses and from spending time working with them, you can take note of possible areas of improvement. However, at the end of the day you are there to help the student so by listening and communicating effectively both parties will be satisfied. The ability to…
Help students to help themselves by scaffolding their learning and building their confidence.

I have had good feedback from students saying that I am…
Some of the most important things a student can gain from having a tutor would be to build up their confidence in a certain subject, by providing specialised teaching and education for that specific student, to increase their understanding. A tutor would also provide a different perspective of difficult concepts, being seperated from the…
Build relationships - From being tutored and informally tutoring I have found that the relationship between a tutor and a student makes all the difference in learning and motivation. It\\\'s important to build rapport and actively listen to the student.
Promote independence - ultimately, students shouldn\\\'t need to rely on a tutor to achieve…
As stated above, changing the student's attitude towards the subject and simplifying the information are the two major key factors in tutoring. These are in addition to changing the student's approach towards learning in general. My strength as a tutor is by initially breaking the fear and possibly dislike the student has for the subject or…
Uncover learning styles - I will identify how the student best learns, whether it be visual, kinesthetic, aural, or some other form. Helping a student understand how to progress their own learning

I believe it is most important to build a student's confidence. Once they believe they can achieve things on their own, and develop an interest in the subject, higher grades will follow. My strength is patience and I believe my weakness would be understanding school curriculums, however I am a fast learner and know I can adapt…
To be an effective tutor, it is essential to focus on three critical aspects. Firstly, a tutor should be able to create a personalized learning experience that caters to the unique needs and learning style of each student. Secondly, building a strong rapport with the student is essential in fostering a positive and supportive learning environment,…
I would certainly recommend Ezymath to prospective students. Having a tutor who is close in location and able to work at developing a relationship with each individual student can greatly assist students in discovering how to succeed in maths. I would also strongly recommend Ezymath's professional development activities and CEP modules to other prospective tutors. I have appreciated the important learning lessons within the CEP modules and have applied this to my tutoring and used it to help my students.
It has also been fantastic to develop relationships with my students and their parents over the past year and a half. In this time I have seen my students grow personally and academically. One particular grade 7 student I have seen progress from low B's to high A's within the time I have been tutoring him. However, my greatest achievement during the time I have been tutoring is to have helped my two current students to realise just how much hard work they need to put in to do their very best with maths. Both of these students have seen considerable improvements in their results as we have developed habits such as regularly completing revision quizzes, developing key memory pegs & triggers to remember strategies and rules.
Once my students discovered that practicing such techniques and putting in so much regular revision time improved their results, they were more motivated and determined to continue putting in such efforts to keep improving their marks.
Tutoring with Ezymaths has been a great experience for me. When I joined two years ago I thought I wouldn't last the first month let alone the next two years. It's amazing how organised the company is and how much help you receive as a new tutor. I joined the company to earn some extra cash and the benefits of learning about teaching were a bonus. Ezymath tutoring is a network of students, teachers and tutors who share information to improve the way we teach our children. Every student has a different way of learning and learns at a different pace. The benefit of gaining a tutor through a company means there is no single mind teaching your child. The collective advice and experience of the tutors within the company allows us to teach your children in the most effective possible manner. I personally have gained great experience to put on my resume and nothing is more pleasing there to see a child improve their education and confidence to push themselves further in life. If you are considering a position at the company or just looking for some extra help for your child you won't find a better class of trained tutors.
My experience with ezymaths was one like a rollercoaster that ended on a high note. What's special about ezymaths is that you will find support and there will be teaching material and teaching strategies available if you get stuck. Overall, as a tutor, you will learn a lot more than you will expect.
