The most important thing to keep in mind when tutoring in my opinion is to help them gain confidence & enjoyment in the subject. If a student believes they are bad at a subject, they often won't try as hard because they view it as pointless. Confirmation bias can also lead to only noticing when they make mistakes, meaning they won't recognise the…

The tutor must understand the learning and understanding power of the children and how they can digest in the single session of tutoring. The tutor should be a good friend for a student. My strengths are that i am patience and I know how to handle a child and make them understand in the easy way. I have quality of good time management so my…

The most important things a tutor can do for a student is provide the with the strategies, tools, and perhaps most importantly: confidence they need to succeed and thrive in their studies. I believe my strengths include my ability to effectively communicate and teach important concepts and skills to my students. In particular I pride myself on my…

The most important thing a tutor can do a student is listen to them and their needs as well as create an environment whether that's in person or online that is safe, supportive and positive for them to learn and thrive. I have a very personable, open and kind approach when interacting with staff, parents and most importantly students so I feel…

I am very happy with the way she is tutoring my son. In only two sessions, my son is showing great interest. He loves her teaching style. Great work!

Inside Lake GardensTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 10 student Sophie worked through solving linear simultaneous equations using substitution and revisited circle mensuration with step-by-step diagrams.

For Year 11, Daniel focused on trigonometry—specifically SOH CAH TOA and both the sine and cosine rules—and practiced finding unknown sides in right-angled triangles using calculators.

Meanwhile, Year 12 student Jack tackled proof by contradiction and mathematical induction, applying these logical proofs to algebraic statements drawn from recent classwork.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student working through mathematical induction and negated statements showed ongoing confusion, with a tutor noting "a formal session going over it" was needed—misunderstandings here made subsequent problem-solving slower and more frustrating.

In Year 9, one learner tended to jump to answers in algebra without double-checking or clearly showing working; as the tutor observed, "he skipped showing steps in algebra, which hid sign errors."

Meanwhile, a primary student hesitated to write out solutions for worded fraction problems unless fully confident in the answer. This led to blank responses on tests and missed opportunities for targeted feedback.

Recent Achievements

A Lake Gardens tutor recently saw a Year 10 student move from hesitating over exponent laws to independently solving equations with non-standard layouts, needing only minimal hints.

In a senior session, another student who previously struggled to form equations on their own began confidently applying the quadratic formula after practicing setting up problems themselves.

Meanwhile, during a primary session, one younger learner shifted from frequent mistakes in array-based fraction exercises to reliably grouping and counting out correct answers—now checking her work methodically by matching dots rather than guessing.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Tammy is great.  She has a friendly manner and she is enthusiastic at every session. Lucy seems to like her and she has some great methods for teaching.  She engages Lucy and makes the sessions fun and interesting bringing things along to help Lucy understand what she is trying to teach her.  She is concentrating on what Lucy's weaknesses are while thinking ahead for Lucy for year 7. From  my observations of the sessions I think she will help Lucy enormously. I am very happy with Tammy to date and hope that she is happy to continue on with Lucy

Ezy Maths Tutoring really helped my daughter progress both her knowledge and enjoyments of Maths. Her progress has been amazing and she has looked forward to her weekly session with her tutor. The tutor connected really well with my daughter and was able to build her confidence. I am sure that she will now find the transition to high school much easier with her improved skills in maths.

Thank you so much for your email. We are so very happy with how things  are progressing. I can already see Keeleys confidence improving and I can hear her understanding coming along as I listen to the session. Dennis is a fantastic tutor! He is very understanding and patient. He is a lovely man, very friendly and has amazing manners and people skills. I will be recommending your company to anyone I know in the same situation. Thanks again.

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