Extending beyond the scope of just being a tutor at set times is key for a student’s confidence and rapport building. Knowing they can contact me outside contact hours for small things here and there encourages them to strive to get the most out of their tutoring experience and get better results, for me, for them and for their parents.…

The patience for students learning pace, as not all students will understand straight away when they are taught something. Every student has their own learning pace and teachers much be patient and work around every kids pace. If they need more time, than i am willing to go over as many times as they need in order for them to understand, go…

I consider the most important things a tutor can do for a student are to give them confidence in their own ability to learn and foster independence by teaching skills and strategies not just content. My strengths in tutoring our patience, kindness, a willingness to try to understand how a student learns best, a sense of humour and hard work and…

There are a variety of things that makes a tutor stand out and become a real teacher. One is to let the student feel comfortable enough for them to ask questions that they might feel is a basic question. Instilling confidence in them to explore without hesitation and fear is important in the students development. This will help them face their own…

Sometimes getting tutored can feel embarrassing or humiliating to students, so it is vital that they are empowered and encouraged, without giving too much of a teacher-student dynamic, but just a friend who is going to help them. It is important for tutors to understand how students think and find ways to relate the problems/difficult subjects to…

A tutor should motivate and encourage students to try their hardest in their studies, to help build up a resilient mindset as they learn. I am passionate about learning and am interested in science and maths myself. I have loved exploring these passions further while studying a Bachelor of Engineering, and this will help me relate to and motivate…

I think the most improtant thing as a tutor is to answer the student's question as best as you can, and to make sure they can understand. And we should also encourage our student to try, even if they get the wrong answers, because practice makes the perfect. I'm very patience, and easy to communicate, and I can figure out different ways to explain…

Help then understand the concepts, rather than just telling them, show examples, things they can relate to and answer questions such as "why?" rather than just state a paragraph from theory i was once a student who had multiple tutors, and im confident that i'll be able to explain concepts and help students understand what they are learning,…

I think that the tutor acts as a mentor for the student. In this role, the tutor should encourage the students to think critically in order to find answers to their questions. By providing the means to discover the answers for themselves, the tutor ensures that the student does not merely address the 'what' of the question but is also able to…

Throughout my tertiary studies, I have found that the key to learning anything is finding the point of interest for a person and developing that area so that the subject as a whole becomes enjoyable. For any student, progress will naturally vary and giving them that support and encouragement to persevere and overcome hurdles in their learning is,…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student are: 1. Listen - be aware of the student's needs and goals. 2. Adapt - be flexible and willing to change things if the need arises. 3. Focus - be structured and strict when the need arises, to keep the student on track with their goals. My strengths would be my enthusiasm for learning,…

I think the most important thing a tutor should do is understand the learning pattern and style of the student. Every student learns differently, simply using one method is not enough. As I try to see, I try to understand how different students learn and understand different content. Through the process, i try to find what is the most optimal way…

Local Reviews

Quickly connected me with a tutor in my area for my son in year 11 Maths methods. The tutor (Dylan) is great, very knowledgable, and really takes the time to work with my son on his problem areas. Our school schedule is changing all the time and Dylan has been very accommodating when we have had to move times, which has been a big relief. I've also been getting great feedback from EzyMath and my tutor on my sons progress, which has helped me to understand how to support him with homework better too. I definitely recommend EzyMath to anyone looking for a tutor!

Inside Ferntree GullyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Chloe focused on mastering fraction operations and converting between improper and mixed fractions, using number lines to build confidence.

For Year 8, Noah worked through linear relations—plotting equations and interpreting gradients—as well as algebraic expansion and factorisation.

Meanwhile, Year 10 student Ava tackled the turning point form of parabolic graphs alongside basic trigonometry concepts, practising with diagrams to visualise problems.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11 English, one student repeatedly submitted homework late or incomplete; as noted, "there have been multiple times that he has not completed his homework on time," making it difficult to build consistent essay-writing skills.

During Year 10 Maths revision, another student relied heavily on familiar techniques and hesitated when asked to apply concepts in new ways—this slowed problem-solving and reduced confidence under test conditions.

In Year 3, a student's multiplication work was often unfinished, with skipped practice on timetables leading to slower progress when tackling multi-step problems.

These moments left students feeling unprepared and hesitant during class discussions.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Ferntree Gully noticed one Year 11 student, who used to rely heavily on hints, now confidently completes trigonometry problems without a calculator and can explain her steps out loud.

In Year 9, another student made a real shift: after weeks of silent guessing, she has begun raising her hand for help whenever she gets stuck on linear equations—asking for help rather than moving on confused.

Meanwhile, during a recent primary session, a younger student who'd struggled with fractions earlier in the term managed to solve mixed-number addition independently for the first time.

What they say about our tutoring

Thanks for the email. We are very happy with Lisa. She is bright and keen and has established a very easy rapport with Xiao. Xiao actually really likes her. We feel very confident that Xiao will continue to make progress with her maths.

Thanks for the email.  I am very happy with Charlie he seems to be doing a good job and Ellah has said that he is doing a good job and is really teaching her the concepts.

We are very happy with AiPing, she works the boys hard and seems to be very knowledgeable.

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 Ferntree Gully Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St John the Baptist School.
