Encouragement is the most important quality a tutor should have. Doubt is unfortunately a huge negative factor when trying to learn so when a tutor shows a true belief to a student, confidence sparks & can fuel motivation. I believe a tutor is meant to empower their student to success By personal experience, I’ve had both, a tutors who just…

Every student is different and every student has different ways of understanding concepts. Some might learn them easily via a practical approach while others focus on the theory first. Understanding the weak points of a student and focusing on the strength of a student is very important for a tutor to know. One of my strengths is a strong…

A tutor should firstly be encouraging; to be more confident in their studies, for them to work hard and try their best, and to inspire a love of learning. Secondly, it is imperative to be understanding. Every student is unique, with varying goals, learning styles, and abilities, so learning should be tailored to each individual to ensure every…

A tutor needs to be able to understand where the student is academically, what they currently understand and what holes they have in their knowledge. They are not a teacher, but are there to help reinforce and strengthen what their teacher is currently going over. A tutor should be helping the student to understand the content through linking…

A tutor has to want the student to succeed in what they're learning. It's important to know specifically where the student is struggling in order to help them. It would be remiss not to mention that there is a positive impact on the students' performance in school as well. If I explain something and the student doesn't understand, I'll find…

Students are different from each other, some are fast learner while others are the opposite. As a tutor, I think its important to deliver a lesson that is easy to comprehend regardless of how academic the students are. I am more to lean to visual than texts.

It's important to be understanding, to listen to what a student (or parent) wants to get out of tutoring, and to focus on the student's goals. It's also important to be clear in your teaching, and to come up with creative and interesting ways to teach each student, as every student is different. I have a very enthusiastic and positive approach to…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to use different methods of teaching to communicate the content, so the student can learn in a number of ways. Everyone learns differently, so when you meet a student for the first time, you should experiment with different teaching styles (explaining the content, using examples, scenarios,…

Even little things such as brain breaks are going to benefit the child so they can give their brain a break before diving back into it. I want to make sure that all…

The most important thing that a tutor can do for a student is to help them see the subject in the light that they do and nurture their interest in it. Failure in getting the concepts also leads to fear and that's where a tutor has to support the student , to prevent them from losing confidence in themselves. My biggest strength as a tutor is my…

I consider an improvement in confidence incredibly significant to a child's attitude to learning. If a student is confident in their abilities to learn a subject, then they will be more likely to put effort into correcting their mistakes. This confidence and ability to recognise improvement will directly and positively affect the student's self…

Students spend a major part of a day in school. Many children are unable to get the most of it due to time-constraints and lack of individual attention in a class. However, there are a few students who maintain attention and focus in a classroom environment. Reason is they are more prepared than the rest. If a child follows what is happening in…

A tutor should push the student as much as they possibly can. Not answer the questions for them, continue making sure the student understands throughout a session and asking the student to teach a question to the tutor. A tutor can build the confidence of a student, reassuring the student on their strengths, and encouraging them to build and…

Local Reviews

Vivian is an exceptional tutor for my 16 year old son. We have worked with her during the school holidays to ensure he fully understands his year 10 math and is well prepared for year 11. She is punctual, polite, my son enjoys working with her and his maths and his confidence with maths has improved a lot. Thanks Vivian.

Inside MerriwaTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 5 student Oliver focused on calculating area and perimeter for various shapes and reviewed homework tasks on measurement.

Year 8 student Mia practiced solving simultaneous equations and worked through key problems involving factorisation to build confidence with algebraic methods.

For Year 10, Emily revised quadratic equations from Chapters 10A–10D, using worked examples to consolidate understanding of different solution techniques.

Recent Challenges

A Year 8 student often delayed starting new geometry questions, which sometimes meant less time for feedback and review during sessions.

In Year 10 Maths, relied heavily on using the formula without always knowing why it works, so when faced with a composite area problem (like a trapezium prism), progress stalled until guided through the logic.

A senior student preparing for OLNA-style exams forgot to bring necessary materials, such as their assessment sheet, leaving both tutor and student unclear about expectations.

One note captured a moment: The iPad was distracting most of the time, even though it was needed occasionally.

Recent Achievements

One Merriwa tutor noted that a Year 9 student, who used to rely on hints for every step, now independently sets up and solves simultaneous equations—especially impressive given her earlier hesitation with rearranging formulas.

In Year 11 English, Ella, who previously kept her ideas brief during assignments, took the lead in sharing her opinions about film themes and backed them up with thoughtful examples.

Meanwhile, a younger student who once guessed at tricky words during reading is now pausing to sound out new vocabulary or break down base words before moving on.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

So far we are pretty happy with Daniel and his enthusiastic and focused approach. I think Cleo feels very comfortable with him and he has been able to help her manage her work load and advancing slowly to re gain her confidence. He has a lovely mature manner, a very likeable guy.

I have loved the opportunity to work for EzyMath over this past year and have really valued the experiences and skills I have developed over my time as a tutor.

Great Tutoring and marks are an improvement. Thank you for your persistence and patience!

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