Be patient with students, understand their concept-grasping power (since it differs from student to student), provide special attention to slow-learners, appreciate students (when they get the hang of things or score good marks) and motivate students (when they make mistakes)!

I believe the most important thing a tutor can do is allowing a student time to try and solve aspects of the problem themselves following proper guidance, instead of hand-holding them the entire way.

In primary, tutoring often targets core arithmetic—addition, subtraction, times tables, fractions, and building number sense—while also pushing for deeper comprehension, not just rote rules. High school sessions shift to algebraic thinking, graphing, interpreting questions, and developing strong exam strategies. There’s a big emphasis on breaking down word problems, revisiting tricky homework, and test prep for NAPLAN or semester exams, always tailored to what each student finds hardest right now.
Recent Challenges
Some primary students rush through comprehension or maths tasks without fully reading instructions, leading to incomplete or off-target answers. In high school, it’s common for students to have scattered or unclear working, which makes multi-step problems harder to check and fix. Other frequent hurdles include forgetting materials, leaving homework unfinished, or spending revision time catching up on missed basics instead of moving forward—all of which can hold back progress and lead to confusion.
Recent Achievements
Tutors are noticing students becoming more proactive during lessons—regularly checking their own work, spotting errors, and making corrections without being asked. There’s a clear shift toward students verbalising their steps in maths and explaining their reasoning aloud, rather than rushing through problems. Tutors also report that learners are reviewing their test results with more care and taking the initiative to improve, showing greater confidence and ownership of their progress.
What they say about our tutoring
Very happy with tutoring, Charles has been very helpful.
Gilda and Charles are working well together.
We came to Ezymaths because our son has problems understanding some of the year 8 topics. When I contacted the company, the customer service staff was very understanding and spent time listening to my problems with my son's attitude towards Maths subject. He answered all my questions and removed any doubt I had about the success of a tutoring service to my son in our own home.
My son was very happy with the first meeting with Amy and the second meeting he started to warm up. The 3rd meeting, he was already asking questions and was able to do his homework independently because he understood the concept.
He said that the tutor's explanation about the topic was very clear and he now have better understanding of the concepts. Since he is in the top class, he found that they move very fast to the next topic in class and appreciated the one on one lesson from his tutor and the convenience that he doesn't have to go anywhere.
The company is very easy to deal with. No pressure nor hassle from the company.
I would recommend parents to talk to Ezymaths if their children have problems in Math or if the children want to improve their grades.
I will definitely call Ezymaths again when my son encounters difficulty with certain topics in class.
Thank you for following up the tuition, actually we are very pleased with Joyce.
Matilda says Joyce is very well organised ,uses proper techniques and tries to covers all problem areas. So far all is good & we are looking forward to a good outcome.
