I think the most important thing that a tutor can teach is how to learn. Things like study habits and exam prep techniques can help students immeasurably.

Tutors should be professional and respectable while building a rapport with their students. A tutor should be able to adapt to their students needs while being flexible and patient.

Getting stuck in a problem and solving it alongside them has to be the number 1 thing that a tutor does.

I am approachable and friendly, I can…

I think the most important thing for a tutor to do for a student is to listen to them. In order to properly help a student it is essential that you listen to them and focus on what they say they understand and where they say they are getting caught as they often understand parts of concepts and just need your help to put them all together.

Inside Farmborough HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Charlie practised long addition with carrying and worked on simple subtraction using written examples.

In Year 9, Daniel focused on linear equations with negative numbers and fractions, as well as plotting points and values on the Cartesian plane, before moving onto perimeter calculations and square unit conversions.

For Year 11, Nicholas reviewed non-right angled trigonometry—particularly bearings—and completed revision of algebraic substitution problems using targeted past HSC questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 algebra, one student was reluctant to show working and often kept calculations in their head; as a tutor noted, "it is difficult knowing where she is stuck if she keeps her process contained within her mind." This led to missed feedback opportunities and repeated errors.

A Year 8 student relied heavily on calculator inputs for linear equations but struggled to clearly transfer results onto paper, resulting in incomplete finishing statements.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner's written work sometimes lacked clear logic in multiplication—mistakes compounded when sentence questions weren't translated into sums.

In senior maths, exam preparation faltered when revision focused only on familiar question types rather than new or challenging formats.

Recent Achievements

A Farmborough Heights tutor recently noticed a Year 10 student who used to doubt her algebra skills now independently tackles equations with variables, checking her answers without prompting.

In a senior session, one student who previously struggled with trigonometry began identifying which trig function to use and isolating unknowns correctly after practicing right-angled triangle problems.

Meanwhile, in Year 3 maths, a younger learner who often made mistakes with carrying in addition completed her homework error-free for the first time and remembered to mark her tens throughout all sums.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I want to thank Ezy Maths Tutoring, as Joshua seems to have connected well with David and is working with his strengths. Already we are seeing a difference in the confidence of David to tackle his Maths and is being guided to see the areas that he is lacking instead of total self doubt of thinking that he knows nothing .

Sam has been an excellent, kind, understanding and patient tutor with Gabriella. Under his guidance she has made improvements in her outcomes and study habits in spite of her great difficulties with the subject. She had gone from a fail grade to a pass mark and has steadily applied herself more consistently to regular study thanks to Sam. We have nothing but praise for his abilities.

We really cannot speak highly enough of Conaire. He is communicative, polite, always on time, and most importantly, highly competent with maths. From their first meeting, Tim has enjoyed and benefited greatly from his tutoring and encouragement. On a scale of 1 to 10, Conaire rates a 10+ (with no exaggeration at all).

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 Eagle Vale Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Cedars Christian College.
