English Tutor Monash, ACT
I think the most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to listen. It is important for a tutor to build a relationship with the students so that tutoring sessions don't become a chore, and the student feels comfortable seeking help with things in these sessions. Thus, I think that listening to and responding to the needs of the…

English Tutor Mawson, ACT
I understand the struggles of high school students - the anxiety of asking questions and the lack motivation to learn. A tutor should be able to create a safe space for communication to tackle problems and provide useful solutions to such issues. Also, an important characteristic an english tutor should have is to help motivate students with a…

English Tutor Chifley, ACT
The most important thing an english tutor can do to the students are clearing their doubts whenever they ask. One tutor must answer all the doubts of the students as soon as possible. Also a tutor must be always approach a student with smiling face. My strength is my pleasant face and friendly attitude. If a student saw a tutor with pleasant face…

English Tutor Conder, ACT
Help them gain confidence in themselves and uplifting them in the process. To do this I think its important to ensure the student is still self sufficient (not just given the answers). During my studies I balanced full time work and full time university, this taught me to have excellent time management skills and really appreciate the value of…

The best thing an english tutor can do is lay a foundation so strong that the student understands it very well and never giving up on them. It is to understand that every student is special. I am patient and easygoing person and I think I can handle a number of students simultaneously. Moreover, my experience in tutoring students and also studying…

Inside GowrieTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Ava focused on mastering boxplots and scatter plots, as well as working through a range of algebraic inequalities.

For Year 10, Ethan practiced solving quadratic equations both by factorising and using the quadratic formula, along with sketching related graphs to interpret solutions visually.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Liam worked on simultaneous equations using substitution methods and reinforced his skills in expanding and factorising binomials through step-by-step examples.

Recent Challenges

In Year 11, a student arrived without having completed any extra exam revision since the last session; as one tutor observed, "we need to work on building independent study as a habit."

Another Year 9 student frequently came unprepared, unable to identify which topics needed review before tutoring began.

In Year 7 mathematics, homework was often left incomplete or done incorrectly at home but finished correctly when supported in person—suggesting a gap in independent application.

For a primary student, distractions and talking led to lost focus during lessons, with simple arithmetic operations like addition and subtraction sometimes confused as a result.

Recent Achievements

One Gowrie tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 11 student's approach to exam prep—after struggling with revision strategies, he started writing key problem-solving steps on cards during sessions and referred back to them unprompted, helping him tackle practice questions more independently.

In Year 8 maths, another student who used to hesitate when something didn't make sense is now confidently letting the tutor know exactly where she needs help instead of staying silent.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 learner who previously counted on fingers surprised his tutor by solving addition problems quickly without needing any physical aids or reminders.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Thanks for the follow up. We could not be happier with Avi.  Alex really likes and respects her. She is already helping to build his confidence and having him see that he actually doing very well. We would like to continue with her for sure.

Thanks for the email - Callum enjoyed his session with Micah last Sunday and is looking forward to the next one, which is a good thing!!

Alice had been getting poor marks in maths, despite doing well in other subjects.  Neb and Amy effectively identified issues with the way she approached maths problems ie not stepping through problems sufficiently, and helped her overcome these.  Alice's marks and attitude to maths have improved greatly as a result.  As she has improved, she has become more confident and willing to do the homework and study to do even better.  It has been a positive experience all round and I would not hesitate to recommend Ezy Maths Tutoring.

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 Erindale Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Gowrie Primary School.
