As stated, giving the correct guidance and the motivation for the correct way to study is extremely important. As is well knwon, we can walk a horse to the water but cannot make him drink it, similarly giving the syllabus content and teaching the subject is important, however, the most important part it to mame sure the student knows in the first…

To me, the two most important things a tutor can do for a student are: 1. Providing a student with a strong base understanding of a topic so that they can succeed in learning while at school (e.g. contributing well to class discussions). 2. Helping a student refine and better understand what they were taught in class. I think I have a strong…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is creating an environment and relationship where the student understands and feels comfortable knowing that it is okay not to understand something and it is ok to ask for, or need help. I believe that still being a student myself allows me to relate to students and the frustrations…

The most important things is to find their strengths and weaknesses so that they can improve faster and be more confident in their studies. It is also important to create a strong bond with your student so that they can trust and respect you - which often leads to a more driven and focused student (based on my experience in high school). I believe…

Most importantly, listen! A lot of students don't know where they are struggling but give it away with the questions they ask or the steps they take to try and solve problems. Have more than one method or way of explaining things. People have different learning styles and different past experience to attach new things onto. Being organised,…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do to help a student is, first find out what they know and then build from there.

I think my biggest strength is that I also have…

I think a tutor has to cater their teaching methods according to particular students. For example, if you find that the student best learns by a tactile approach, I would recommend using more activities that help them learn rather than just working through questions on a piece of paper. I think this can make a big difference in the student's…

Local Reviews

We have been very happy with this company and the quality of their tutor. I have received communication to check that my son was happy and have been asked for feedback good or bad along the way. Nothing to report but positive feedback. The tutor is on time and makes herself available for additional tutoring sessions prior to exams and has been helping my son be more organised. My son is feeling a lot more confident. I can't ask for more than that!?

Inside KensingtonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Harry focused on addition and subtraction skills, including back-checking answers for accuracy, and strengthened understanding of place value using targeted homework tasks.

In Year 8, Zoe worked through surface area and volume problems for both two- and three-dimensional shapes, as well as practicing factorisation with sample questions from her school resources.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Josh completed exam-style bivariate data questions, interpreting two-way tables to identify associations between variables and briefly reviewed explanatory versus response variables in real-world datasets.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student tackling statistics often missed key words in questions, which meant important details were overlooked—"missing key information in question - needs to utilise highlighter better," as one tutor noted.

In Year 8, a learner's written maths work sometimes lacked neatness and clear working, especially when subtracting negative numbers or handling brackets; this led to confusion and made errors harder to spot later.

Meanwhile, a primary student moving into multiplication admitted struggling but tended to focus only on the easier tables, avoiding the more challenging ones during revision sessions. The result: moments of uncertainty and lost time retracing steps.

Recent Achievements

One Kensington tutor noticed a real shift in a Year 11 student's approach to exam prep—after struggling with exam-style questions earlier in the term, she completed nearly an entire practice exam independently over the weekend and tackled tricky bivariate data questions with strong retention.

Meanwhile, a Year 8 student who previously hesitated to ask for help is now openly flagging when she finds certain maths problems difficult, allowing her tutor to target those gaps together.

In primary sessions, Scarlett has moved from skipping backchecking steps to now double-checking every subtraction answer out loud and completing her worksheet almost entirely on her own.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Stuart has been a big help to our son Ben and we have noticed that he is enjoying math homework from school more now. If Ben has any problems with Math then when he comes home he sends Stuart a message during the week and Stuart always responds to him at some point, which is great. Things are going really well indeed!

Very happy with the service of Thomas - he should be coming back tonight for the first lesson this term. Hugo (my son) was very happy.

I want to thank Ezy Maths Tutoring, as Joshua seems to have connected well with David and is working with his strengths. Already we are seeing a difference in the confidence of David to tackle his Maths and is being guided to see the areas that he is lacking instead of total self doubt of thinking that he knows nothing .

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 South Perth Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Kensington Primary School.
