The most important thing an english tutor can do is give students the confidence to keep trying. Maths as a whole is a subject that requires a lot of trial and error to get good at, so the tutor needs to be there to stop students from getting discouraged. I have both a deep and broad understanding of most high-school math topics. I'm patient with…

It is vital that tutors are approachable, and can come from a place of understanding when students seek to overcome certain educational hurdles. Whilst it is also important for tutors to have a deep understanding of the subject they are tutoring, they should also be able to emphasise that mistakes and failure are a natural part of the learning…

Inspire students to understand the importance and broader concepts within mathematics.

Inside Black ForestTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Zara worked on comparing and ordering fractions using visual models, then practised multiplying and dividing fractions as well as converting between improper fractions, mixed numbers, and decimals.

Year 10 student Archie reviewed algebra test errors by revisiting factorising and expanding expressions, before moving on to ratio exercises from his laptop program.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Lachlan explored trigonometric sine functions—focusing on amplitude, period, and phase shifts—alongside geometry work involving the properties of quadrilaterals and solving for unknowns using side lengths and angles.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student's chemistry report was difficult to follow, with a tutor noting, "structure still not clearly and main point not communicated logically"—unclear layout made feedback hard to apply.

In Year 10 maths, skipping written steps meant algebra errors went unnoticed until review.

For a Year 8 research task, copy-pasting from sources without evaluating or organising ideas led to jumbled paragraphs and unclear argument flow.

A Year 5 student repeatedly left fractions homework incomplete, which slowed her progress in class when tackling new problems.

Without consistent practice and clearer work habits, confusion lingered longer than necessary.

Recent Achievements

One Black Forest tutor noticed Molly now brings in her own draft assignments and openly points out which questions gave her trouble—something she used to hesitate with.

After some targeted practice on functions, she could independently identify domains and ranges by the end of the session.

In another case, Erin recently received an A+ for her maths investigation and took the initiative to plan ahead for upcoming assessments without prompting.

Meanwhile, Archie (Year 7) showed real growth by reviewing errors from his last test, then confidently solving similar algebra problems on his own.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

1. I am very impressed with the service your Company provides. Mihika is an outstanding Tutor, and the feedback you have provided in terms of monthly report is very well received. well done!!! 2. In case you guys don't do any formal Customer feedback surveys, I would highly likely recommend your Company to others parents seeking this type of assistance.

Raymond is FANTASTIC - the benefits of his tutoring is already obvious with my eldest very confident and my youngest gaining it!

Our son started with his maths tutor in Year 6, he was struggling and his marks were in the lower quartile of the class.  Now half way through Year 7, he's gained confidence with maths and achieving excellent marks placing him above the year average.  His tutor is a great young uni student, he takes the time to explain problems in a way our son can understand them, he's patient and clear when he needs to redirect a problem.  One of the great benefits is the wonderful example he has been to our son, showing him how maths will play an important part in what he might want to do in the future. We are extremely pleased with results our son is achieving and credit a lot of the improvement to the support and work of our Ezy Math Tutor.  We love that tutoring happens at home and at a time that works for us a family.

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 Goodwood Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Black Forest Primary School.
