Tutors in Murdoch include high-achieving graduates, experienced teachers, subject specialists, and passionate mentors from top Australian universities. Many have received academic awards or hold advanced degrees, and all share a genuine commitment to helping students succeed.
I valued the students value, well-being , confidence and health. My responsibility as a tutor is to ensure my student to understand the concept, not memorise the concept, be happy and be healthy. Thus the most important thing thst I would do for a student is to first understand their learning preference, and construct a learning style which they…
Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each individual student and tailoring the tutoring technique and style to that student. Also, having an in depth understanding of the subject matter and the patience and vocabulary to explain it in understandable terms. I am good at conveying difficult concepts to students, am a good presenter and…
Teaching students HOW to learn and effective methods for learning, instead of just showing students the course material which they have likely already seen in class. Of course, refreshing core concepts is key to building a strong foundation, but tutors should aim to extend their students, to go further than what is required. Also, they should have…
I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is focus on that student, listen to what they want and then create a personalised lesson just for them. The major difference between a class and a tutor is how the tutor is able to focus on the one student, and maximising this chance and truly listening to the student and helping them…
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to show that they believe in them and their ability to succeed academically and overall. I tell my students on a regular basis "I believe in you!" and "You can do this!" I find that creating this positive and encouraging learning environment is integral. My strengths as a tutor begins with…
I think a tutor is mainly able to improve a student's knowledge/understanding of their subjects. They can also teach the student study strategies which can be carried over to university/TAFE studies. I have a strong understanding of Maths and Science subjects (Maths Specialist/Methods, Physics and Chemistry). Additionally, I have a year of…
Being understanding. Everyone learns and does everything at their own rate, I believe tutors need to understand when to adapt what teaching method with their student and when to switch techniques. By being a student myself I understand how to connect with a student and teach in various ways, allowing for an adaptive teaching…
From my experience, the desire to learn and succeed must come from within, but once that feeling is there it is the tutor's responsibility to cultivate and grow this passion and to translate it into continuous improvement.
Hence, one of the most important things that a tutor can do is understand the student's needs and to meet those needs in a…
The most important thing a tutor can do for a student, in my opinion, is not only understanding the students well, but also knowing how much the student knows, and being able to convey lessons well. Patience and perseverance with students. Ability to understand the needs of different types of students and handle them…
Listen to the student, and pay attention to how the student approaches the study material and offer different options that might help them better. I can explain a concept from a different perspective than that of a university lecturer or a teacher, so that the concept is easily…
Listen to the student and find a way that they can understand there problems by breaking hard questions into simple small steps. Easy going, understandable, caring,…
Tutor-student connection.
If the pair don't maintain an almost friends connection it is hard to influence the students learning for the better. I understand the frustrations that come with the failures in teaching, and I can successfully help students overcome that, as well as I know how to adapt my teaching style to better benefit the…
The most important thing a tutor can do is ensure that the student feels connected to the topic and is transparent in delivering a quality explanation of any concerns the student may have. I believe I can teach in a friendly and open manner, which will help me build a connection with students. I understand that there are often many ways to…
trying to explain in the simplest form. I am a Engineering student, from personal knowledge and experience, i always try to find ways and hacks while working. I teach students with practical learning, easy to get any topic in…
Not only teach them the concept at hand, but also a way to approach learning new concepts. This enables the student to have a better appreciation of the subject and a self-desire to learn. The ability to step into the shoes of the student in order to explain concepts clearly and…
I think that the best thing to do when tutoring is allow the students free rein when answering questions, as I have often found that almost all of their learning comes from when they make mistakes. I tend to try to give them only small nudges when getting them to complete a question, and reduce the amount of my interference over preceding…
Know the subject, be able to communicate the subject, encourage and support the student, engage with the student. I have a significant understanding of the content, both in the conceptual and examinable sense. I focus on providing insight on the mechanisms behind problems encountered and then work on encouraging independence in the area so that…
Make sure the pace of the lesson is not too fast or too slow for the student. Keep an open dialogue so students are comfortable with voicing concerns and questions. I can explain new concepts easily and quickly, and I know what concepts are hardest and most likely to come up in exams, and common…
I believe that a tutor should first understand the individual needs of students before beginning to teach, as a one-size-fits-all approach is rarely effective. Ensuring high levels of engagement is crucial, as it significantly enhances the learning experience. Additionally, possessing patience is essential, as it allows the tutor to effectively…
As previously mentioned, I think the most important thing a tutor can do for their student is to listen. If you do not listen to the students expectations and responsiveness to the material then the sessions will not be productive, and the student will not improve. My strengths are that I am an incredibly patient tutor, as well as a good listener.…
Patience. Learning new skills in maths can sometimes be quite tricky and confusing so I think adequate time should be spent learning the basics as this is very important later down the track. Organisation, as a tutor I feel organisation from both the student and the teacher is important so the most amount of learning can…
A tutor has to be able to accomodate to each students need individually. It's important to understand the needs and habits of each student as each person learns uniquely. This, in turn, provides them with the best possible learning experience which maximises potential and results. - Good Communicator
- Vast Knowledge of subjects
- Can make…
In primary, tutoring often targets core arithmetic—addition, subtraction, times tables, fractions, and building number sense—while also pushing for deeper comprehension, not just rote rules. High school sessions shift to algebraic thinking, graphing, interpreting questions, and developing strong exam strategies. There’s a big emphasis on breaking down word problems, revisiting tricky homework, and test prep for NAPLAN or semester exams, always tailored to what each student finds hardest right now.
Recent Challenges
Some primary students rush through comprehension or maths tasks without fully reading instructions, leading to incomplete or off-target answers. In high school, it’s common for students to have scattered or unclear working, which makes multi-step problems harder to check and fix. Other frequent hurdles include forgetting materials, leaving homework unfinished, or spending revision time catching up on missed basics instead of moving forward—all of which can hold back progress and lead to confusion.
Recent Achievements
Tutors are noticing students becoming more proactive during lessons—regularly checking their own work, spotting errors, and making corrections without being asked. There’s a clear shift toward students verbalising their steps in maths and explaining their reasoning aloud, rather than rushing through problems. Tutors also report that learners are reviewing their test results with more care and taking the initiative to improve, showing greater confidence and ownership of their progress.
What they say about our tutoring
Working at EzyMath Tutoring is really rewarding. I have been able to work with students to build their confidence and evolve them into independent learners. You build relationships and trust with students so they feel comfortable with you - even if it is saying they don't understand! It's amazing to see them improve their maths skills with increased confidence. Even better is seeing them smile and light up with excitement when they tell you of their great achievements at school.
Eshan has been a great help to Georgina over the sessions she has seen him and she felt much more confident preparing for her mid-year exams (Y9). I think she will get an A overall for maths this semester which is great given both math exams were quite difficult and the average score was much lower. She has also been asked to join the enrichment maths group from the beginning of next term. Although Georgina is a little apprehensive about the step up, she knows it is a great opportunity to get exposure to more difficult work before things really step up a bit in Y10. The school is very happy with her results and I feel confident that she will continue to do well, with the right support. I feel there is much more potential upside for her to be gained through ongoing tutoring and it will be great to have Eshan's support as Georgina joins the enrichment stream at school next term.
We are very happy with Terence , James seems to be making good progress at getting the basics of his 3 unit course. Terence is very calm, methodical and can simplify maths steps/working and James is responding very well to Terence's teaching style! Terence so far is very knowledgeable on the maths topics James is covering in class. Terence has also been very flexible & accommodating with postponing/adding lessons as required which we are very appreciative. We have been very pleased with our experience with tutoring so far!
