Engineering Studies Tutor Mount Colah, NSW
A tutor should be able to personalise and adapt to each and every student. Everyone learns at different paces and styles and I think it's most important to understand a students strengths and weaknesses. I would like to say that I am a very patient person, ready for any challenge and obstacle. I also have experience from young children in Years 1…

Inside Cottage PointTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Charlie worked on multiplying and dividing fractions, as well as strategies for converting between improper fractions and mixed numbers.

For Year 8, Jess focused on scientific notation and significant figures, tackling practice problems to strengthen her accuracy with large and small numbers.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ryan completed work on annuities and loan repayments in financial mathematics, calculating future values using formulas relevant to real-life finance scenarios.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student often skipped writing out working in algebra and surds, which cost marks on recent tests—"full pages with no working in his latest tests and lost a lot of marks there."

In Year 11 Financial Maths, a student relied heavily on calculator methods for frequency tables but hadn't memorised the key formulas, so struggled to choose between the BAC and 'hours to wait' formulas under test pressure.

Meanwhile, a Year 7 learner frequently missed critical question details when calculating discounts or reading word problems, leading to incomplete answers even after correct calculations.

Recent Achievements

A Cottage Point tutor recently noticed a Year 10 student who used to mix up compound and simple interest formulas is now confidently choosing the right one for each question, even adjusting for monthly or quarterly compounding without prompts.

Meanwhile, a Year 12 student has gone from needing step-by-step help with network diagrams to drawing them independently and accurately, even explaining how loops count as just one edge.

On the primary side, one Year 4 student who hesitated over improper fractions can now convert them to mixed numbers at speed, handling new questions on her own.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I would certainly recommend Ezymath to prospective students. Having a tutor who is close in location and able to work at developing a relationship with each individual student can greatly assist students in discovering how to succeed in maths. I would also strongly recommend Ezymath's professional development activities and CEP modules to other prospective tutors. I have appreciated the important learning lessons within the CEP modules and have applied this to my tutoring and used it to help my students. It has also been fantastic to develop relationships with my students and their parents over the past year and a half. In this time I have seen my students grow personally and academically. One particular grade 7 student I have seen progress from low B's to high A's within the time I have been tutoring him. However, my greatest achievement during the time I have been tutoring is to have helped my two current students to realise just how much hard work they need to put in to do their very best with maths. Both of these students have seen considerable improvements in their results as we have developed habits such as regularly completing revision quizzes, developing key memory pegs & triggers to remember strategies and rules. Once my students discovered that practicing such techniques and putting in so much regular revision time improved their results, they were more motivated and determined to continue putting in such efforts to keep improving their marks.

Tutoring with Ezymaths has been a great experience for me. When I joined two years ago I thought I wouldn't last the first month let alone the next two years. It's amazing how organised the company is and how much help you receive as a new tutor. I joined the company to earn some extra cash and the benefits of learning about teaching were a bonus. Ezymath tutoring is a network of students, teachers and tutors who share information to improve the way we teach our children. Every student has a different way of learning and learns at a different pace. The benefit of gaining a tutor through a company means there is no single mind teaching your child. The collective advice and experience of the tutors within the company allows us to teach your children in the most effective possible manner. I personally have gained great experience to put on my resume and nothing is more pleasing there to see a child improve their education and confidence to push themselves further in life. If you are considering a position at the company or just looking for some extra help for your child you won't find a better class of trained tutors.

My experience with ezymaths was one like a rollercoaster that ended on a high note. What's special about ezymaths is that you will find support and there will be teaching material and teaching strategies available if you get stuck. Overall, as a tutor, you will learn a lot more than you will expect.

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 Berowra Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Cowan Public School.
