Preparation, planning and a positive can-do demeanor. I believe listening to the student is essential, I have found that when a student gets 'stuck' on a problem they get either despondent or so fixated and frustrated. I initially work to ascertain what approach the student will be most responsive to and work with them from there. My patience and…

Local Reviews

I have been using Ezy maths from the past three years now. Even though moving houses was a challenge but my sons tutoring needs were well taken care of and he had a smooth transit with his tutor. The tutor Mandeep singh is fantastic and always goes an extra mile with my son!!! I will surely recommend the company.

Inside DoreenTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Ava focused on simplifying and adding surds, then applied her skills to multiplying surds for area calculations.

Year 9 student Liam worked through rationalising denominators with surds and using fractional indices, as well as solving linear equations and interpreting straight line graphs.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student tackled subtraction, addition, and multiplication questions in preparation for NAPLAN numeracy, along with practising long division and timetables using school worksheets.

Recent Challenges

In Year 8 Maths, he skips over steps instead of slowly working through them, making it hard to spot where small calculation errors occur.

A Year 10 student was reminded that relying on a calculator for multiplication and division masked gaps in mental arithmetic; this showed up when classwork required speed without aids.

During VCE preparation, one student's incomplete revision booklet meant missing exposure to unfamiliar question types—on practice tests, this led to hesitation and lost marks.

In English (Year 7), difficulty organising essay drafts resulted in scattered ideas, making it tough to translate thoughts clearly onto the page.

Recent Achievements

One Doreen tutor noticed a big change in a Year 9 student who used to freeze up at factorisation but, after some focused practice, began recognising patterns and using the common method without hesitation—she even asked for extra examples.

In Year 11 maths, another student who'd struggled with logarithms was able to tackle extension questions independently once he grasped the basics, surprising himself by explaining his process out loud.

Meanwhile, a younger primary learner who always avoided times tables started organising her worksheets neatly and handed in all her homework on time for the first week ever.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Deepti has been working with my daughter on her year 9 Maths this year and we have seen a great improvement in both her skill level and her confidence. Deepti is very reliable, friendly and professional and I can highly recommend her skills as a tutor.

Dion is actually excited about Maths again and told me the other day I really like Maths now, after spending the majority of this year hating it and feeling down on himself because he just couldn't understand some of the strands and considered himself to be really bad at it, even though his results in NAPLAN and school reports did not reflect this, it was just that he had lost all confidence. So we are so excited for him, that he's gained that confidence back and he thoroughly looks forward to Nav coming every week. So just after 2 weeks, I want to say how beyond happy we all are with Nav and Ezy Math as an entire organisation. Your correspondence has been very thorough and extremely helpful with lots of great tips and explanations. You've managed to turn this Maths learning experience from a negative one to a positive in just a couple of weeks. We can't wait to see what great success Dion can achieve with the help of Nav.

Gracie, she has been very accommodating and has had the patience to work with my son. Even though I have not met her in person, she seems to be very dedicated.

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 Mernda Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Plenty Valley Christian College.
