Being patient with students is essential since students' learning methods vary. Also pushing them to strive for development and always looking to make the session enjoyable throughout! I…

Being able to understand how much a student can handle without overwhelming them, keeping lessons engaging so the student does not lose interest in the subject, and not demeaning a student for not understanding topics that may be conventionally 'easy' as it may likely discourage the student - these are a few of the most important principles a…

The most important things I can do for a student is teaching them how to learn and study more efficiently as those are more important than helping them to solve specific questions. I like to evaluate and assess the situation at first, which I believe is a strength as a tutor because it is hard to improve before knowing what one's weaknesses are.…

The most important thing will be to help the student find his/her interest in the subject. If they don't believe they can do it or that what they're learning is actually beneficial, they're only ever going to treat it as something they have to do. It'll be difficult for them to reach their potential in the subject. My strengths would be ability to…

To break a complex subject/topic and explain it as simple as possible so that the student absorbs the very same content that the subject is trying to convey. - I am patient enough to teach a student no matter how many times I would have to explain the same topic because I myself have been impatiently asking my teachers about the doubts. - To grab…

For me, this involves encouraging others to learn as a passion rather than an obligation, so that others can also love learning as I do. I also realise that while I enjoy learning and find it easy to…

The most important thing is to understand each student as a person so that you can personalise their learning and teach to their strengths. This comes with communicating and listening to what that student has to say to you. I like to ask students questions about their background with the subject, or related subjects and what they're hoping to…

Inside HeathwoodTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 3 student Aryan worked on single- and double-digit addition and subtraction, as well as punctuation basics like full stops and question marks.

For Year 10, Zoe focused on algebraic methods for solving equations and practised factorising perfect squares and the difference of two squares using step-by-step examples.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Lucas tackled exponential and logarithmic functions, then extended to taking derivatives of these along with trigonometric functions in preparation for upcoming topics.

Recent Challenges

In Year 12 Physics, a student struggled with formatting and pacing their scientific report—"needs more evidence"—which led to rushed conclusions and weaker claims.

A Year 11 Maths student showed over-reliance on calculators, often rounding answers prematurely instead of using exact forms when creating functions.

During Year 8 homework on graphing questions, one learner left work incomplete; as the tutor observed, "was unable to complete homework regarding graphing questions."

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student hesitated to attempt challenging addition problems independently and required prompting to check her answers aloud. This sometimes meant correct methods weren't practiced until guided step-by-step.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Heathwood noticed a Year 11 student who used to rely heavily on step-by-step guidance now tackling optimization questions solo—she picks out relevant information from complex problems and confidently applies the right techniques.

In a recent session with a Year 9 student, there was a shift: instead of guessing through index law questions, he paused to backtrack and find mistakes when prompted, showing real engagement with the process.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student surprised her tutor by adapting easily to the number-line strategy for addition and even tried harder problems independently before reading the time on an analogue clock for the first time.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and Mohammed once again for everything. The standard of tutoring was outstanding and most of all Elise gained from it proving so with her results. Mohammed was a pleasure to have in our home being the polite gentleman he is. Such a credit to you and your company. I would have no hesitation in recommending Ezy Math Tutoring to anyone.

Thought I would drop you an email to let you know Aaron took his first lesson with the boys last night and everything seemed to go very well.  Brook and Lewis both commented on how the learning methods given were helpful and will hopefully put these in place. Thank you and hopefully this will be a turning point in the boys attitude towards this subject.

Mo was a fantastic tutor for my son,Joe.  She was patient and adjusted her her teaching pace according to Joe's needs in the various areas that needed work.  Mo explained everything carefully and made sure Joe fully understood everything without making him feel uncomfortable. Joe and I are so grateful for her help and I will be sure to call on her again if the need arises.

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 Inala Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Pallara State School.
