Patience is first and foremost when you're with a student. It is vastly important that you should respect the pace at which the student learns and works at, to never pressure or rush the student, to challenge them without making them feel small or inadequate. We all learn in different ways and at different speeds - none of which are better or…

Help support the student so that tutoring does not become another point of stress for the student. When I was tutored years ago I found that when the tutor listened to be and walked me through things at my pace was when I felt that the tutoring was the most effective. My ability to be able to connect, to listen, and understand those who are…

The most important thing is to ensure that a student properly understands the task in front of them so that at a later stage, they are able to work independently and without assistance. A tutor also needs to remain positive and act as a positive influence over the student and ensure the student feels safe and comfortable at all times. I am…

I believe the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is the ability for the student to develop a independent style of learning and facing adversities with a strategy in mind. This allows the student to not only develop academically but also fosters a lifestyle of learning that will help them transition into high education. I am…

First and foremost, an english tutor has to gel up with the student, make him/her comfortable. Once that is done, the teaching method adopted must be interesting, with must include examples from daily life so that the student can relate to it easily. Moreover, a diagrammatic approach must be used while teaching, since, children tend to remember…

Learning can be frustrating at times, so it is really important to be encouraging and supportive. A good tutor does not just help with the content - they help build the student's confidence.…

Through tips and shortcuts, the student will confidently answer questions. The tutor also expands the student's knowledge by providing exposure to different learning materials. With these both, the…

I believe the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to encourage the individual to be more confident in their own abilities. This can be achieved by showing the student the most appropriate way to tackle the problem, and then rewarding them when they are able to complete the problem without any assistance. This should…

The power of being non-judgmental. A tutor must understand that every student has different learning capabilities and focus more on students that find it difficult to grasp concepts without belittling them.

I can make the student not only competent, but also comfortable and confident in a certain topic. I understand how stressful hard subjects can be.

I was fortunate enough to know this tactic…

My biggest strength is patience. Sometimes it takes students a long time to begin to understand certain concepts and…

A tutor should have the ability to share information in a way that others will learn, grasp the concepts, understand the input. A tutor should be able to know strengths and weakness of a student.

I would say the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is helping them grow as individuals, and help them find a love for learning - a strong passion for the academic studies.

Inside CockburnTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Chloe worked on finding area and perimeter of squares and rectangles, using diagrams to help visualise measurement.

In Year 9, Aiden explored narrative analysis in English by breaking down literary devices like metaphor and allusion, as well as practising persuasive writing techniques such as emotive language and anecdote in preparation for assessments.

For Year 10 maths, Lucas revised solving linear inequalities and graphing their solutions, alongside work on simultaneous equations with substitution and elimination methods.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 English, one student did not finish their novel before the deadline and struggled to recall key details when questioned; "he needs to reread the ending until he can more effectively comprehend it."

In Year 11 Legal Studies, another was reluctant to attempt questions with unfamiliar wording unless prompted, avoiding independent problem-solving.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 student repeatedly left homework incomplete due to confusion and did not attempt tasks without immediate support. This led to missed opportunities for feedback and practice—questions went unanswered, and confidence faltered when faced with new or challenging material.

Recent Achievements

One Cockburn tutor recently noticed a big turnaround for Caitlin in maths: after re-trying her previous assessment, she answered every question correctly, showing real persistence where she'd struggled before.

In Year 10, Nikita flagged tricky finance problems herself during the session instead of waiting passively—she then worked through how payment plans add extra costs and could explain her reasoning back to the tutor.

Meanwhile, Aiden (Year 9) started building a steady reading habit by completing all set chapters for English ahead of time and took initiative to research evidence for his persuasive essay without prompting.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

My biggest accomplishment while working with EzyMath was learning how to organise myself more effectively and juggle multiple jobs at a time, which has turned out to be a very useful skill. Why I came to work for EzyMath was because I wanted to help students gain the confidence they need to complete high school and the HSC because I remember what it felt like for me at the time! I got useful skills out of the tutoring experience - soft skills and organisational skills.I would recommend EzyMath as an employer to people who are organised and dedicated because they can genuinely get a lot out of it and I would definitely recommend EzyMath to prospective students.

I joined EzyMath more than 2 years ago. The admin has always been around to help and replied to my emails promptly. I was offered a number of students, few of which I continued for 2 years. My biggest accomplishment as an EzyMath tutor was to help students grow, as well as benefit from it for my own growth. I started tutoring a student when he was starting his year 7 and tutored him till he was starting year 9. I hope that the student benefited from my guidance, but there was a lot I could learn from the session as well. Working with young children has been a tremendous benefit since they possess such vibrant energy. I came to work at EzyMath as a uni student looking for a part time work. EzyMath was professional, motivated and constantly taking feedback from the tutors and the students to enrich the tutoring experience for all. I would certainly recommend tutoring for EzyMath, for both clients and prospective tutors.

I chose to work with EzyMath because it was very flexible and I could fit it around my uni schedule. Tutoring has really helped me learn how to explain concepts effectively and also greatly improved my leadership and communication skills. Witnessing my students' gradual improvement in not only their technical skills but their confidence in the subject was extremely rewarding. I would recommend EzyMath to fellow tutors and prospective clients.

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 Success Public Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like SEDA College WA (Cockburn).
