I believe that the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to provide supplemental support to the student's primary learning, especially if the teacher's style does not suit the student. This may involve offering alternative teaching styles or diving into deeper details that the teacher may not have time to cover. Ultimately, a…

Just being patient and understanding, giving time and attention with younger kids and respect with older ones. I think that's the best way to help them. I am quite patient so when a student finds it difficult, then I am willing to sit down and spend a lot of time on something until they get it. I am also good at showing multiple ways to solve each…

A tutor should be understanding of their students' learning and study patterns and help them in a way that will benefit their students the most. A tutor should personally support and encourage their student to become more confident in themselves and their study areas alongside explaining content.

Impart knowledge and methods for learning. Aiding them in their learning methods would benefit them more than just imparting knowledge.

Some may require a faster or slower pace, additional resources, or re going over certain things multiple times. I believe I would make a good tutor as I am a…

I believe having a tutor who presents work in a manageable and stepwise manner is key. many students are embarrassed to admit when they don't understand concepts they may think are simple, or are intimidated by the seeming difficulty of some of the work. Presenting the problems as manageable and breaking them down helps the student gain your trust…

A tutors goal is to make sure the student understands the subject completely, as well as prepare them for any tests/exams. This includes teaching all the content as well as setting practice questions and exams for them to apply their knowledge. The tutor must know the students learning speed, so that the student doesn't feel too rushed or too…

Allowing students to become independent thinkers and restorning their self confidence is one of the most important things a tutor can do for a student. This means while you guide them in filling gaps in knowledge and breaking down difficult concepts, the tutor is able to build these fundamental skills in the student. In instilling these skills, I…

I believe there are three main important things that tutors can offer their students. Firstly, tutors have the best opportunity to instil a genuine passion for learning and for the subject they are teaching to their student. Love of knowledge and appreciation of education can be fostered through deeply personal and tailored classes. Tutors can…

transformation and one-to-one correspondence transformation is about how the tutor transforms "content knowledge into forms that are pedagogically powerful and adaptive to students’ abilities."

Our new tutor is working well with our kids. The support from EzyMaths in starting tutoring has been great
Sally Huynh, Blackburn South

Inside Blackburn SouthTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Ethan practised solving linear equations and worked on fraction summation and subtraction for fluency.

In Year 10, Emily focused on quadratic functions, including finding the equation of a line and tackling algebraic measurement problems.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Aisha prepared for her Mathematical Methods SAC by revising polynomials—specifically long division, remainder theorem, and factor theorem—and explored domain and range using set notation in function questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11, a student was encouraged to organize and regularly update her summary book, but struggled to recall information from earlier in the year—"remembering the small information and organizing summary book" remained a challenge before exams.

Meanwhile, during Year 8 algebra sessions, another student's written work lacked clarity: "Need to add more step during the calculation," making it difficult to spot simplification errors.

Under SAC conditions in Year 12 Methods, one student second-guessed solutions and rushed into answers without planning—"he seemed to be second guessing himself and talking things over very rapidly." This led to confusion and missed marks when tackling multi-step problems.

Recent Achievements

One Blackburn South tutor noted a Year 9 student who previously hesitated to ask questions now openly requests help when stuck, which has made her algebra sessions much more productive.

A Year 11 student, after repeated struggles with graphing circular functions, began drawing the graphs accurately and independently identifying transformations without prompting.

In another session, a Year 7 student who once mixed up fraction operations is now confidently finding lowest common denominators and completing multi-step problems on her own.

Last week, one senior student collected past exams themselves to review weak areas before their upcoming assessment.

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 Blackburn Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Luke the Evangelist School.
