The main job of a maths tutor is to transmit knowledge and assist students in solving problems, however, what I believe is most important is that tutors can create a comfortable learning environment for students. active.

Guide them and help them build their confidence as they learn. To a degree, that allows them to then learn on their own and become independent. The best part of being a maths tutor is when you realize your student no longer needs you. It's easy for me to position myself in someone else's shoes. I'm usually very good at identifying what my students…

Most importantly, the tutor should be able to help the student achieve their desired academic results whilst under the tutor's tutelage, as this is the whole purpose of being a maths tutor. However, it is almost equally important to instill confidence in a student, that they will feel comfortable enough to step out of their comfort zones. More…

Students should understand what they do and that is the responsibility of…

Inside Lower PlentyTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Alex focused on converting between fractions and decimals, along with geometry skills like calculating area and perimeter using diagrams.

In Year 7, Mia practiced algebraic techniques from Chapter 4 of the Edrolo textbook, as well as translating between mixed and improper fractions.

Meanwhile, Year 8 student Ethan worked through probability concepts and basic statistical analysis in preparation for an upcoming test.

Recent Challenges

In recent Year 8 and Year 11 lessons, incomplete homework has stood out as a key barrier. One student in Year 11 was told, "He will not progress any further in Mathematics unless he tends to his homework," after repeatedly arriving without set work finished—leaving him unable to keep pace with new concepts.

In a Year 8 session, difficulty focusing on multi-step questions led to missed instructions; the tutor noted attention span issues meant extra time was spent re-explaining basic processes instead of building deeper understanding.

The lack of written working and frequent distractions created ongoing gaps in both classes.

Recent Achievements

A Lower Plenty tutoring session saw a Year 10 student who, after struggling with basic addition at first, managed to independently solve algebraic equations by the end of class—a real turnaround in problem-solving skills.

In Year 8, two students who often hesitated to participate began enthusiastically competing with each other to answer percentage questions, showing a new willingness to engage and challenge themselves.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student who previously found fractions confusing was able to calculate them accurately during his first lesson and even explained his method back to the tutor.

What they say about our tutoring

Ezymaths is a great place to work as tutors are provided with the combination of independence and assistance needed to further any students' education. 30th July 2012

There are many accomplishments I achieved as a math tutor for Ezy Math Tutoring but the biggest would have to be having the chance to work with students who are striving for success and the satisfaction that came with connecting to the students when trying to explain a topic, whether they be a senior student working toward a good Overall Position or a beginner grasping for understanding in the subject of mathematics. From the tutoring experience during my time with Ezy Math Tutoring, I was able to achieve exactly what I was after while job hunting, and that was the ability to take on a leadership role and lead students from stressful situations of not understanding content to successful results within a few months time. I would definitely recommend working with Ezy Math Tutoring as they take the effort in assigning students within your area so travelling to students is not an issue, and for the students looking for tutors, the tutors here will offer you as much help as you need, with set strategies proven to be successful to help you reach where you want to be. 31st July 2012

My biggest accomplishment is guiding a year 12 student through the final topics of 2 Unit mathematics and making her understand the concepts and formulas in those topics. My second biggest accomplishment is my year 8 student receiving an A. I came to work for Ezy Math Tutoring because I wanted an income while studying in University. What I got out of the tutoring experience is that I have increased my communication skills as well as my teaching skills. I also gained experience in being responsible. What was special about Ezy Math Tutoring were the guidelines that were given to us. They were good on guiding how to set each lesson, what to expect and how to handle certain situations. 3rd August 2012

Local Spots for Tutoring
