The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to figure out plans and way to explain and allow the student to learn in a relaxed and enjoyable way. It shouldn't be a rigid session and needs to be a flexible learning system in order to allow and aid them in learning the topic. I am able to take a complex idea and explain in it simple…

One of the most important things a tutor can do for a student is figure out a specific learning method that is appropriate for the student. Each student is different; hence, how they learn and understand a concept differs and as tutors, it is essential to create a method that caters to each student.
In addition, the pace is also essential to…

A tutor MUST make the student comfortable with their learning by building a friendship with them, so that they always want to return to EZY Math Tutoring.

A student that has a tutor either wants to excel in their studies, or is struggling. If the student is struggling (will know from first day by what they ask and what they say) then it means they either need to be told what the teacher has told them already or the teacher has taught it in a way they do not understand, hence a change of method is…

Local Reviews
Inside Christie DownsTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 10 student Jack worked through quadratic factorisation and expansion using online practice, then moved to solving simultaneous equations and applying index laws.
Year 9 student Riley focused on trigonometry concepts such as finding unknown angles and sides in triangles, plus revising probability questions similar to his recent assignment.
Meanwhile, Year 8 student Zara practiced algebraic techniques with a focus on factorisation methods like difference of two squares and perfect square patterns, and also reviewed how to simplify surds using the index laws.
Recent Challenges
A Year 9 student hesitated to start her algebra assignment, describing "mental blanks" and freezing when faced with new problems—this often delayed progress on simultaneous equations.
In senior trigonometry, another student confused sine and cosine because of inconsistent labeling on triangles, leading to calculation errors even after grasping the theory.
One Year 5 learner regularly second-guessed her answers during times tables revision, asking for reassurance before continuing ("if I do not respond to her answer she will second guess it").
In Year 4, forgetting to complete homework meant previously mastered skills in time questions were quickly lost between sessions.
Recent Achievements
A tutor in Christie Downs noticed that Lara, a high school student, has started to identify her own knowledge gaps and now asks for targeted help on tricky topics like graphing parabolas—something she rarely did at the start of tutoring.
Sasha, also in high school, recently demonstrated significant growth by confidently solving all factorisation questions without errors during a session, a big step up from her early struggles with algebra.
Meanwhile, Nicole in Year 4 moved from needing her fingers for times tables to recalling her 5s and 10s instantly and finished a rounding pre-assessment with a jump from 0% to 75%.

Local Spots for Tutoring
