Science Tutor Beacon Hill, NSW
To give to the student not only the knowledge of how a task is completed or formula applied, but an understanding of the logic in why this is utilised or possible. The ability to apply mathematics to a situation through the correct understanding of what needs to be done and what knowledge can be used to accomplish that end, is more necessary and…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is build their confidence. This is what will enable motivation and ultimately ensure the student can achieve the best possible outcome they can with their specific capabilities. It is also crucial for a tutor to create a comfortable environment for their student so that they feel they can ask…

I believe one of the most important aspects is empathy. Empathy not only in giving them true confidence that they can achieve more than what they believe is at their threshold of intelligence, but empathy in understanding what foundational concepts or struggles may need to be covered. Simplifying complex concepts not in a mundane way but one that…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to understand that there is no unteachable student.

As a tutor, I always bring a…

When tutoring, it is very important to be patient and understanding.

Being flexible is also vital as during high stress times changing…

Often in school, teachers teach a subject in only one way rather than catering for each individual in the class, which can often make students feel 'dumb' or hate the subject.

Adapt to their skill level and provide personalized teaching that they don't receive at school.

I am very patient and…

As a tutor, it is very important to understand the real demand or weakness of their students. Besides, it is also important to know their expectations. Therefore, you are more likely to come up with a solid and actionable plan for your student and manage the progress and expectations during the tutoring process. I think my strengths as a tutor…

I think it is important to show how different problems are related to one another and thus create a network of interconnected ideas rather than having a number of discrete, unrelated ideas. I believe this help reduce the intimidation factor of learning maths as it both improves understanding and reduces the cognitive load by reducing the effective…

The first and most obvious role of a tutor is to explain concepts and teach a student. They can guide the student and show them the path. However, it is ultimately up to the student to complete their own studies. I feel that another major role of a tutor is also to act as a mentor. In current times, a tutor may interact frequently with a student…

It's the responsibility of a tutor to meet students where they are at. Tutors should come to learn the boundaries of what their students do and do not understand and create structure and context for pushing those boundaries to ultimately envelop the knowledge they need to succeed. This can sometimes mean "back-filling" missing knowledge or…

I think that things are going well- we only had one session so far but Jake seems great and does a great job of explaining things to her. I will definitely comment further once we get a bit further down the line, but happy so far!

Inside FreshwaterTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Morgan worked on long division with remainders and began simplifying fractions, focusing on how improper and proper fractions differ.

In Year 8, Zane practised applying negative indices within algebraic expressions and solved problems involving gradients in linear graphs.

Year 9 student Seth tackled advanced algebra topics such as expanding brackets and equations with variables on both sides, alongside revision of circular geometry using targeted practice questions.

Recent Challenges

In Year 10 Maths, one student showed a tendency to skip showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors—this made it hard to spot where things went wrong and meant repeated mistakes in multi-step problems.

For a Year 8 student, lack of confidence led them to hesitate before answering statistics questions, even when their reasoning was correct; this slowed progress and left answers unchecked.

In Year 5 English, another learner struggled to extract key points from reading tasks—often missing main ideas because smaller details became distracting.

In each case, the underlying process habits interrupted feedback and caused frustration during review.

Recent Achievements

One Freshwater tutor noticed a big shift with a Year 11 student who, after lots of targeted practice, now pinpoints where he goes wrong in chemistry problems and can quickly fix his own mistakes—something he used to avoid tackling independently.

In Year 9 maths, another student has become much faster at answering questions accurately and now volunteers for harder problems without waiting to be prompted, showing real initiative compared to earlier sessions.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who previously hesitated during reading is now extracting key points from stories by herself and happily explains them aloud after finishing each passage.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I am very happy with how things are going and Zach is lovely so thank you for finding us a great match for Kane

After the first session I gave Matt some feedback about Mia (via Text). Matt was open to my feedback about Mia's learning style, and I feel he listened and implemented during the second session. Mia walked away feeling more confident/ comfortable after the second session.

Tom has been absolutely fantastic very supportive and professional at all times and will definitely recommend EzyMaths in the future.

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 Warringah Mall Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St John the Baptist Catholic Primary School.
