A tutor has to be patient and welcoming for their students. The reason these students come for tutoring is because they face difficulty keeping up with school. So they should be given the space to understand at their own pace, in their own method and a teacher needs to recognize that. We need to recognize the method which we choose to teach a…

The most important thing that a tutor can do is to pivot their teaching style in order to suit not only the content but how the student learns.

Inside HillcrestTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Bianca focused on combinations and consolidating her 9 times tables through targeted practice.

In Year 10, Sophia worked through linear equations in preparation for an upcoming test, building confidence with different solving techniques.

Meanwhile, Isabelle in Year 12 completed lessons on the chain rule and product rule for calculus, including practice problems to prepare for her next assessment.

Recent Challenges

During online lessons with a Year 11 student, she was still a bit confused when factoring quadratics, and relied on worksheets for support—this sometimes led to missed opportunities for independent problem-solving.

A Year 7 student avoided bringing school work, making it hard to target feedback or address gaps (student needs to bring school work so I can see where she is at at school).

Meanwhile, in Year 5, a reluctance to complete assigned homework meant less practice consolidating new methods.

These patterns resulted in slower progress and moments of uncertainty when applying concepts without direct guidance.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Hillcrest noted a real shift for a Year 10 student who, after weeks of hesitating to tackle maths problems alone, now regularly attempts new questions without prompting—last session, she completed her homework independently and even moved ahead to the next chapter.

In Year 8, one student who previously struggled with understanding negative numbers made a breakthrough by connecting them to real-life examples like money owed, leading her to correctly apply subtraction rules for the first time.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 learner began confidently counting objects in groups using patterns instead of tallying each item individually, showing increased confidence with grouping.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Kareem is so happy with John. He is very comfortable with him and feels a lot more confident. I can see the difference in Kareem's attitude, thank you.

Kelly is a fantastic tutor & lovely person who clicked with Emily immediately and Emily noticed her own improvement within days. Emily sat her Maths semester exam 3 weeks later after having Kelly there was a big improvement!!! Thank you for referring Kelly to Emily and we look forward to having her tutor Emily for as long as we can!

Working at EzyMath Tutoring is really rewarding. I have been able to work with students to build their confidence and evolve them into independent learners. You build relationships and trust with students so they feel comfortable with you - even if it is saying they don't understand! It's amazing to see them improve their maths skills with increased confidence. Even better is seeing them smile and light up with excitement when they tell you of their great achievements at school.

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 Greenacres Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Pius X School.
