A tutor needs to help identify a student's strong points and motivate the students in every possible way. It's not always the tutor that should be valued and respected but the students also needs the same respect and care. Also, a tutor should know how to boost up the morale of a student when he/she is feeling low. If student is facing some…

I believe that getting high grades in school is not the most important goal for my student (although this is something we work towards), but rather what is most important for me as a tutor is to see them learn, progress and improve each time. I want to teach them the value of hard work while building up their confidence and motivation to tackle…

Something that sets me apart from many other tutors is that I’m very relatable, something which I think is very important to a student.

A tutor is someone who just not explains what is right or wrong or not or just gives the answer directly, but instead makes sure that the student, one is teaching has understood the concept extremely well and can relate to his or her own work and can work perfectly without the tutor's help. Also, the tutor should be aware how the student works…

To encourage them to keep going and not give up, because it can get really upsetting to the student if they can't understand a specific thing after some time spent on it.

A tutor has to be patient and welcoming for their students. The reason these students come for tutoring is because they face difficulty keeping up with school. So they should be given the space to understand at their own pace, in their own method and a teacher needs to recognize that. We need to recognize the method which we choose to teach a…

I believe that in order for anyone to understand the material being taught - the tutor must begin with the fundamentals and basics; breaking down the information and then ensuring the student is able to explain it back is what I believe works best. This requires patience, which I believe is an essential quality a tutor must maintain in order for…

As I alluded to earlier, I think the student's enjoyment is extremely important. That's not to say that they should be having fun at the expense of gaining knowledge, much the contrary; I think the best way for a student to gain knowledge that will last beyond the next test or exam is to have it conveyed in such a way that they take a genuine…

As a tutor you can provide a child/student with a different outlook on their learning. For example, their school teacher may have explained it in a way that the child didn't particularly understand, and as a tutor you can give them a more unique and individual learning experience that they wouldn't get at school. Providing children with one-on-one…

The most important thing that a tutor for students is to allow them to work out answers for themselves. Of course, tutors should provide guidance, but they should not merely provide answers. Additionally, I feel that students must be allowed room to make mistakes. A tutor should not be one to apply too much pressure on a student, as too much force…

Local Reviews

James was wonderful.
Cathy, Modbury North

Inside Modbury HeightsTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Jasmine revised simplifying fractions and placing them accurately on number lines, then worked on converting between fractions and decimals.

Year 7 Sarah focused on multiplication with decimals by factors of ten and practiced converting units of measurement for length, weight, and volume.

Meanwhile, Year 10 Adam tackled exam-style questions covering homeostasis in biology as well as human evolution concepts, using past papers for targeted revision.

Recent Challenges

Several students across primary and high school years left homework incomplete, particularly in spelling revision (noted for a Year 4 student: "spelling will now be incorporated into both Thursday and Wednesday lessons" after repeated missed practice).

In Year 11 Biology, exam revision relied heavily on previous test papers but feedback was not always revisited—one note highlighted, "Mini-assignment set to go through in the next lesson," yet earlier corrections remained unaddressed.

A Year 7 student struggled with messy written calculations during BODMAS exercises, making it difficult to check work or spot errors quickly. This slowed progress and increased frustration before tests.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Modbury Heights noticed a Year 10 student who used to freeze on multi-step biology questions now independently works through past exam papers, only checking answers at the end instead of asking for hints throughout.

In Year 8 maths, one student who'd previously rushed and made errors when converting between units now double-checks their work and explains each step aloud before moving on.

Meanwhile, a Year 3 child who was hesitant to read out loud has started choosing new storybooks themselves during sessions and reads entire pages without prompting from the tutor.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

I would like to say that James is an excellent tutor. Liam really enjoyed having James as his tutor and I would recommend James to any body interested in a Maths or English tutor. I think that James has done such an excellent job that Liam is now in advance of his class mates and has developed the skills to progress without a tutor.

Jared was fantastic, Will was so comfortable with the VCE exam, he would not have got there without Jared's assistance.

Working with Ezymath tutoring was a challenging and rewarding journey that benefited me a great deal.  The organisation is run to a very professional standard, and this can't help but rub off on the tutors it employs.  I encountered a range of challenging scenarios with Ezymath from tutoring a year two boy with learning difficulties such as ADHD to helping a girl through 2 unit maths towards her completing the HSC.  Throughout the experience, Ezymath endeavors to improve their tutors skills via series of well thought out modules that consolidate essential skills and enlighten upon some less well known elements of teaching. I would recommend Ezymath to tutors beginning their quest in the field of education and to students/parents seeking a thoroughly professional tutoring service.

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 City of Tea Tree Gully Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like The Heights School.
