Science Tutor Bendigo, VIC
The ability to understand a student and their learning style is something I highly value in a tutor. In school classes where they are often one of many, they may find that the teaching style may not work for them and that they cannot achieve their goals. In a tutoring scenario, we are able to cater to them more specifically, to be intuitive about…

helping students realize that all their effort is going to pay off and there is a reason behind studying all these subjects and no one would benefit from working hard more than themselves. Explaining and teaching complicated subjects and break them down in a simple language. Using real world examples to demonstrate the application of different…

Science Tutor Flora Hill, VIC
Not only is it important to explain concepts well to students, it is also important to create a foundation for students to bounce back on, so that they can understand how to have enhanced learning for the long term. A good tutor should be inspiring so that students will be motivated to be life-long learners. I believe my experience with teaching…

Science Tutor Flora Hill, VIC
I believe being patient and considerate of each student is the most important thing for a tutor to do because this will make the learning space better for the student. If the student feels like their tutor is genuinely caring for their education then they will give their best. I can gauge when a student is or isn't understanding a concept, and can…

Noah was really comfortable and confident with Naomi and her explanations. We really appreciated her style and kind manner which helped put Noah at ease.

Inside IronbarkTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Zane worked on mastering order of operations in maths and developed English comprehension by responding to texts in full sentences.

In Year 8, Lily focused on solving linear equations and practiced writing strong essay introductions in English.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Noah explored Pythagoras' theorem and linear equations using diagrams, while also learning how to summarise research notes into his own words for English assignments.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student struggled to find their previous test for review, making it difficult to address specific feedback or identify recurring errors in algebra and graphing. As a tutor noted, "I was hoping to take a look at Quinn's previous test but we were unable to find it."

In Year 7 maths, untidy working and incomplete steps—especially in long division and addition with carrying—often led to avoidable calculation mistakes.

A primary student's unfinished spelling homework due to a busy week meant fewer opportunities for targeted practice.

At the end of term, tiredness left one Year 8 learner less able to focus during revision.

Recent Achievements

One Ironbark tutor noticed a big change in a Year 9 student who, after weeks of guessing through worded maths problems, now stops to ask for help as soon as she gets stuck—something she used to avoid.

In a recent session with a Year 11 student, the tutor reported that he confidently explained the range and domain on graphs without prompts; last month he couldn't recall which was which.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student who once left homework unfinished proudly brought in an organised folder with every task completed and neat, self-checked corrections.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I'm very pleased with Carly at this stage Nerys' attitude towards Math has changed already and that's extremely positive.  Carly is always there on time and stays the full hour, she also communicates effectively about any schedule changes. So far so good.

Thank you for your email. Based on the sessions held to date with Ai-linh, Nathan is really enjoying her teaching style. From my perspective she is really sweet and is always punctual and consistent which has really maximised Nathan's learning and our ability to plan for effectively. Thank you for arranging for Ai-linh to assist Nathan.

I personally feel that my biggest accomplishment was becoming a more confident individual with strong leadership. This is as I was a mentor to my students whom all looked up to me and I felt more mature and responsible in helping them deal with their academic difficulties. Furthermore, Tutoring also helped me in organisation and time management in allocating tutoring timeslots as well as homework marking into my daily lifestyle. This is truly reflected in my full-time career now where I am able to handle multiple tasks and commitments very effectively. I had been previously been tutoring privately and felt it would be beneficial for me to tutor for an agency in order to attain professional recognition for my resume and future. During my interview process, my tutoring experience definitely weighed into me attaining a graduate role. The main reason I tutor and have been tutoring for such a long time now is the self-satisfaction I get back from helping others. I love relaying knowledge to others who are willing to learn and feel emotionally rewarded when it helps my students academically excel. I would recommend Ezy Math to everyone (tutors and potential clients) as they're very easy to deal with and educate their tutors with ongoing modules as well as provide supplementary materials to their clients.

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