I believe the most important thing a maths tutor can offer a child is patience. Impatience does not create a suitable learning environment. Qualities like these can prevent a child from wanting to learn, they may negatively associate with the subject, putting them further behind. Every child can succeed, given enough time. I have strengths as…

Once again, it would have to be helping them to empower themselves, to believe in themselves, to learn and use their strengths while finding solutions to improve in other areas. I also believe it is very important to be calm and patient and have compassion on how the student is feeling. My strengths would have to be that I enjoy helping people,…

Sometimes a student needs more than just a maths tutor who can teach him or her difficult contents; they also need someone who can provide them with encouragement and support so they can start believing in their own skills. A tutor can come up with millions of strategies to apply in order to deliver a lesson, but it'll be worthless if you don't…

Most importantly, a student should be motivated and encouraged so that he studies with interest. He should be made to feel that if he failed to understand a concept once, it is perfectly fine and he should keep trying. He should be taught the actual meaning of the word 'Competition' , which is to beat his / her own last performance and not anyone…

The most important thing that a maths tutor for students is to allow them to work out answers for themselves. Of course, tutors should provide guidance, but they should not merely provide answers. Additionally, I feel that students must be allowed room to make mistakes. A tutor should not be one to apply too much pressure on a student, as too much…

Also, it helps fostering to a child's need and supports him/her to emerge out in the right direction.

Tutors serve a distinct role from teachers and parents, putting them in a unique position to assist learners. Personal relationships are crucial to student achievement; the more attached a student feels to his or her tutor, the more trust and respect the tutor instils in the student, both of which are necessary ingredients for effective learning.…

As I alluded to earlier, I think the student's enjoyment is extremely important. That's not to say that they should be having fun at the expense of gaining knowledge, much the contrary; I think the best way for a student to gain knowledge that will last beyond the next test or exam is to have it conveyed in such a way that they take a genuine…

A tutor is someone who just not explains what is right or wrong or not or just gives the answer directly, but instead makes sure that the student, one is teaching has understood the concept extremely well and can relate to his or her own work and can work perfectly without the tutor's help. Also, the tutor should be aware how the student works…

Inside EdinburghTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Amelia worked on finding the circumference of incomplete circles and calculating the perimeter of irregular shapes, using diagrams to visualise each problem.

In Year 8, Archie revisited BIDMAS and fractions after a recent test, with extra practice on fraction operations and order of operations.

For Year 9, Suhana focused on trigonometry by solving for unknown sides in triangles, reinforcing her understanding through step-by-step examples.

Recent Challenges

In Year 9 algebra, skipping written steps led to sign errors—"he said he could do it in his head," a tutor noted, but missed negatives crept in.

In Year 11 biology, hesitation to ask questions during revision left gaps around mitosis and meiosis content, with the student needing "encouragement to talk through her thinking process."

For a Year 7 maths test, a reluctance to show working meant fraction mistakes weren't caught early.

Meanwhile, one primary student's overthinking during multiplication drills caused confusion and slowed progress; time was lost re-reading rather than solving.

Recent Achievements

One Edinburgh tutor noticed a high school student who previously rushed through maths problems now carefully backchecks her work, catching and correcting mistakes herself without reminders.

Another secondary student, after struggling with negative integers, recently completed his homework on adding and subtracting them with only two errors and quickly grasped multiplying negatives when introduced.

In a primary session, a Year 3 learner who used to get flustered by lots of numbers is now calmly breaking maths problems into smaller parts and no longer panics at the sight of a full worksheet—she worked through all her skip counting questions independently this week.

What they say about our tutoring

Thank you for your report on Hollys progress so far while it is early days I am sure she will do well with Abbys help. She likes Abby and gets on well with her.

We have had Reagan before for our other daughter. He is really great and we have been really happy with him. He has been fantastic!

We are very pleased with James tutor and wish to continue with both maths and English

Maths tutoring in Edinburgh

"Give a man a fish, he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, he will eat for a lifetime". This pretty much sums up our maths tutoring philosophy. Year after year students are bombarded with an increasing amount of content. Most students are always in catch up mode, trying to keep up with the class, cramming in some revision time right before exams, feeling anxious and unconfident. Of course it is possible to do well this way, but it is like using a hammer to cut down a tree instead of an axe. There's a better way to succeed academically. This is where we come in. Ezy Math tutors break the cycle of inefficient learning by showing students not just WHAT to study but also HOW to study.

Your local maths tutor in Edinburgh will come to you a time that's convenient! It's all done on your own terms. The tutors all have their own ideas and approaches to tutoring but ultimately they adapt themselves to each unique situation.

We offer simple hourly rates with no other charges or fees, no nonsense just tutoring. Plus, the first lesson is a trial to ensure you're happy with the tutor. Give us a call, our consultants can review your area, answer questions and explain pricing in detail.

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 Playford Civic Centre Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Elizabeth South Primary School.
