For me, making sure the student does not feel intimidated is vital, especially if they are working with a private tutor. If a student feels scared or intimidated towards their tutor, it will refrain them from clearing their doubt or asking questions. Hence, it is important that tutors make sure the students feel like they are in a comfortable…

Local Reviews

Ara and Steven are getting on well. I think it has helped just having someone to ask questions of outside the classroom setting. Also getting an alternate explanations is helping her really click on concepts. She is well advanced on her assignment which she has worked through with Steven. Seems to be more confident to back herself as well.

Inside HawthorneTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Bella focused on adding and subtracting mixed numbers as well as converting improper fractions to mixed numbers, using diagrams to visualise fraction operations.

Year 10 student James worked through linear algebra concepts including simplifying and factorising like terms, along with an introduction to the power law and compound interest calculations.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Rebecca practised dividing polynomials using long division and began exploring applications of derivatives in real-world problem contexts.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student, when faced with worded problems in Maths Methods, struggled to synthesize learned concepts into clear written solutions; as a tutor observed, "he tried to do most of the work in his head," making it difficult to spot and fix errors.

Meanwhile, a Year 9 student's homework was incomplete due to heavy assignment loads—recent lessons saw only partial tasks attempted before deadlines.

In English (Year 7), one student hesitated to share ideas during discussion, likely held back by shyness. These habits led to repeated misunderstandings and less effective revision time, especially just before assessments.

Recent Achievements

One Hawthorne tutor noticed a big shift in a Year 10 student who previously hesitated to ask questions—this week, she started pausing the lesson to clarify confusing steps on her own, which helped her tackle tricky algebra problems with less prompting.

In a senior chemistry session, another student patched gaps in stoichiometry after struggling with calculations earlier in the term; he could now complete most practice problems without needing extra hints.

Meanwhile, a primary student who often rushed through fraction work began double-checking answers independently and corrected mistakes before moving on.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

As an Ezy Math tutor, I was especially confident that I could bring positive results to my students. This was because they gave me a great teaching framework to work within, with which I could incorporate my own methods. My greatest accomplishments working with Ezy Math were without doubt the moments when my students were able to overcome certain learning difficulties to produce excellent results. This was often achievable through a simple reorganisation of their work habits and thinking processes. I would highly recommend Ezy Math tutoring to prospective tutors or clients.

Working for Ezy Math Tutoring was different than I thought it would be. I had tutored privately before and I thought it would be pretty much the same deal, but its really not. Working for Ezy Math was great because, every fortnight I was presented with new ideas or stratergies to help my students and there was always the support and room for feedback in every aspect of the Job. When I applied for the job, I was tossing up the idea of maybe becoming a teacher sometime in my career, and working for Ezy Math has made that decision a lot easier. Tutoring is really one of the most rewarding jobs I can imagine doing, as you can literally see the kids begin to get confident and start to surprise themselves with what they know. I would recommend Ezy Math Tutoring as a very well conducted and professional organisation. I feel that working for Ezy Math was a great experience.

I consider improvements in Maths Test results as my biggest accomplishments while working for EzyMath Tutoring. Whether it be by 10, 20, or 50% improvements it is vital that students strive to a higher standard in both their effort and application to the subject. Students should have goals that are realistic of what they want to achieve in Mathematics. Small goals make a big difference in the overall success in this subject. Whether it be to get a 50% pass mark in the next Mathematics Assessment is much better than getting 43%.  I came to work for the company mainly for the tutoring experience. I have a high school teaching background so it was important for me to branch out into different areas and have a look at more 1 to 1 tutoring which can help develop further my high school teaching career. Tutoring has taught me different teaching strategies that I can implement into the classroom. The Learning Modules in particular was a great resource in reaffirming some of my initial ideas and concepts that I had with the subject. It is a great tool for both tutors and students to be able to understand the complexities in Mathematics and its differentiation from other subjects such as English, History and Science.  I would highly recommend this tutoring company to anyone willing to invest money into making improvements in Mathematics learning. The website is comprehensive and has alot of great resources for both tutors, students, and anyone interested in the subject. The worksheets are a great addition which I have found useful, and would be great use for teachers in the classroom. Overall it has been a positive experience. I believe that we can never stop learning as educators, and it is great to see good people investing alot of time and energy into making teaching and learning in Mathematics more fun, engaging, and innovative.

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 Bulimba Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Sts Peter and Paul's School.
