Ancient History Tutor Rosebud West, VIC
Adapting to a students learning style. Each student learns differently and to be able to teach the same content in different ways is definitely important. Also connecting with the student, ensuring they feel confident and connected to make mistakes and ask questions. My strengths are definitely the fact that I’m a teacher, I have experience,…

Where maths were a source of major stress and anxiety before, Georgia has helped my child feel more confident and at ease. She is patient and explains things clearly, makes it fun and relevant.

Inside McCraeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Mira worked on place value and using the order of operations for multi-step calculations.

In Year 8, Willow focused on solving linear equations and tackling complex fraction operations with step-by-step practice.

Meanwhile, Year 9 student Tom explored graphing linear equations and interpreting solutions directly from coordinate geometry examples.

Recent Challenges

Riley repeatedly avoided writing down working in algebra and fractions—"he tries to do it all in his head," one tutor noted—which led to confusion and preventable errors, especially with factorising and multi-step problems.

In a senior task on graphing linear equations, forgetting to label axes and intercepts resulted in unclear answers that couldn't be easily checked or marked.

Willow (Year 10) often left homework incomplete and skipped showing her steps when solving equations; this meant mistakes went unnoticed until review time.

Gracie (Year 5) hesitated to attempt challenging multiplication questions, which undermined her confidence during revision sessions.

Recent Achievements

One Mccrae tutor recently saw Riley, a high school student, go from hesitating over fraction operations to consistently multiplying and dividing them without errors—even tackling negative signs and brackets smoothly.

Willow, another secondary student, had previously rushed through work but is now taking time to check her solutions and even attempts more complex equations in her head before asking for help.

In primary sessions, Gracie—who used to get overwhelmed by big numbers—has started managing multi-step place value problems independently and followed instructions to solve perimeter questions on her own.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Nathan is great and Katelyn is really happy. At first she wasn't very keen on having a tutor but she is not complaining at all anymore.  We are off to a great start and I feel positive.

Working with you guys was very fun and exciting. I got to learn a lot from it. Getting to know and meeting different students built up my communication and teaching skills. My biggest achievement was teaching a student who hated maths and making them love it. it was a time of hardship, but I never gave up . The student always felt that she couldn't do well and that she will always hate maths. I decided to challenge myself that no matter what I will surely make this student reach the top level. Slowly the effort rose and I was proud of myself that I was capable of teaching my students to love maths and always never lose hope. Ezymath tutoring was one thing I wanted to work with because it provided resources, flexible timings and balanced schedule. I  never had any problems with rescheduling as you guys were flexible. Tutoring has made me experience and reveal my inner most teaching skills and communication skills. I can approach a problem from the student's perspective, which helps in identifying faults in understanding. Students gradually gained confidence over months and I was finally confident that they would be ready for any tough problems. I enjoyed working with you and I will recommend you to fellow tutors and prospective clients.

I loved working as a tutor with Ezy Math. The office contacted me regularly with prospective students and rewarded me with great pay. It was great to see how a student's approach to knowledge changes when others invest in them. Being a tutor was great preparation for office work, as it helped me learn several forms of effective communication, relevant for different types of people.

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 Rosebud Primary School.
