I believe the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to give them the confidence to never stop trying to learn despite few low moments. I personally, encourage students to ask even the most basic questions which come across their mind and to never feel ashamed of wanting to learn more or being curious. In my opinion, Constantly…

The best things that a mentor can give his/her students are life long skills and strategies. Academic knowledge is one thing however being able to know how to handle other different learning problem is something that the students can take with them for a long time (eg; time management, self discipline, problem solving skills) I believe my…

For high school students, I find that the most important thing a tutor can do is to build a student's confidence in their own abilities. More often than not, I hear student's say that they don't know what they're doing, which can hold them back from trying their best. It's a fact of psychology that people tend to sabotage their own efforts when…

I think the most important things are that a tutor should should consider are knowing the student's leaning style because not every student are the same to just get a question or example at one go, it is important to make the student ask questions or ask them questions so they think outside the box and get a better understanding. I think my…

The most important thing that a tutor can do is teach them to learn. Not everyone learns the same way so we should identify the childrens strength and cater to their needs so that they can become good independent learners in the future My biggest strength as a tutor is patience.

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to build rapport, that way there is respect and trust but most importantly, the tutor can personalize the learning according to how the student learns best.

I believe that as a tutor is to help students to believe in themselves. As we help them and guide them through different questions and explaining different concepts and doing exercises, it’s important to also remind the student once they get a question correct to acknowledge that they have done it and push for them to keep going. They do have…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to have patience and persistence. These are the most important skills that a tutor needs to develop.

Active listening. Being an older sister, I have realised the best way for them to learn is when they solve problems independently. As a tutor, my job is to guide them and by actively listening it will allow them to gain more clarity as they talk about the issue but, also gives me an insight on how I can guide them in the most effective manner.

According to me, the tutor plays an important role in students' life.

The most important thing is give a student confidence in their own abilities.

Local Reviews

I'm a returning customer and I've been so thrilled with the ease of using EzyMaths and the results have been wonderful! I last used it Teo years ago to help my son who was failing and then made it to the top of the year level. Recently my international student was failing maths but in a few short weeks she passed well enough to meet her academic needs. Thank you!

Inside BurtonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Amelia revised calculating the area of kites and irregular shapes, as well as basic perimeter concepts.

Year 8 Archie focused on simplifying ratios and times tables, then reviewed BIDMAS and fractions after receiving test feedback.

For Year 9 Suhana, recent lessons included trigonometry with a focus on finding triangle sides, plus a science session covering DNA, mitosis, meiosis, evolution, and natural selection in preparation for her upcoming test.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student tackling Pythagoras' Theorem hesitated to identify triangle sides and rarely talked through problems, as a tutor observed: "She tends to say 'I don't know' easily and doesn't verbalize her thinking." This silence made it tough to spot where confusion began, especially when rearranging equations.

In Year 11, one learner worked through composite area questions but forgot to back-check answers unless prompted—missing units or operations in multi-step tasks.

During a Year 5 session, another student frequently rushed subtraction without borrowing properly, leading to avoidable errors that slowed progress on larger calculations.

Recent Achievements

A Burton tutor recently noticed a Year 9 student who used to rush through maths without checking her work is now in the habit of backchecking and caught all errors herself on a recent set of questions.

Another high school student, working on science, took more initiative by showing her draft SHE task for feedback—something she hadn't done before—and made improvements based on suggestions.

For a younger learner, regular sessions have helped him concentrate for longer stretches and he now traces numbers up to 20 with fewer mistakes; last week he filled in missing numbers up to 20 almost entirely independently.

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 Burton Community Hub Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Burton Primary School.
