Effective teaching of a student to me involves two fundamental aspects, this is; development of key fundamental concepts and knowledge, and maturing a student's perspective of their learning through evolving of their own self-confidence and faith in themselves.

Motivate them to study. A lot of the times the students are more than capable to achieve good grades but they just struggle with motivation to study, hence the first thing i do is motivate them to study. Being able to explain almost everything in the simplest of steps so that anyone can understand complex topics easily. Also giving my students…

The most important things that a tutor can do for a student is being able to answer any question a student throws at them.

This means serving as a friend, and as someone who is receptive and understanding to the needs of the student. It is through this that students will grow and be most efficient in their studies.

With my personal experience and from what I have seen with friends, a tutor increasing a student's marks is only about 30% of the true benefit. What really changes, is your whole approach to learning. To be frank, I used be to near the bottom rank for math at my school, roughly 90/125. After going tutoring and experiencing success for the first…

I think the most important things for a tutor to do is to make sure the student understands how to do the question, and not just give them the answer or formula. It is essential for them to utilise all the skills and I want to foster the ability to identify which methods are required for each question. I like to teach in fun ways so hopefully that…

A few of the important things a tutor can do for a student is to care, understand and support. Although a tutor may have an incredible breadth of knowledge, it is the way that they deliver this knowledge that is key. Firstly, they need to care and understand the student's level and ability to learn and process information. As much as delivering…

Local Reviews

Georgia is happy with Kelvin. She is very shy and so it is great that she feels comfortable with him.
Deb, Beecroft

Inside NormanhurstTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 9 student Emily revised trigonometry and bearings, then practiced applying graph algorithms to real-world network problems.

For Year 10, Ethan focused on algebraic factorisation and substitution skills, working through targeted homework exercises.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Olivia explored organic chemistry by learning the rules of nomenclature and identifying structural isomers using molecular diagrams.

Recent Challenges

A Year 10 student frequently left homework incomplete, saying "I didn't understand the questions," which meant lesson time was spent revisiting old material rather than building new skills.

In Year 7 algebra, confusion with variables led to missed steps when rearranging equations—one tutor observed, "she wrote 5–y instead of y–5."

Meanwhile, a Year 3 student often forgot times tables and hesitated with subtraction problems that involved borrowing; skipping written working increased small errors.

After missing homework or sessions, several students needed extra revision just to recall previously covered concepts—progress stalled while they regained lost ground.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Normanhurst recently saw some encouraging changes across different students.

One Year 10 student, who used to be at the bottom of his class, proudly reported he came 2nd in a recent test after working through word problems and algebra with much more independence than before.

In Year 12 Chemistry, another student started making her own mindmaps for Biology revision—something she hadn't tried previously—and now applies concepts confidently without much prompting.

Meanwhile, a younger primary student who once needed frequent help finished her regular homework on her own this week.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

So far so good.  Zachary and Gabriella seem to have a good rapport and I have noticed that Zac is working more confidently.  It's early days though, so time will tell when his grades start coming through. Gabriella is a lovely young lady and we are happy having her as a tutor.

We have been very happy with Lawrence.  He has been patient and on time every time.

We have been extremely happy with our tutor David, and will be recommending Ezy-Math to friends. Sharon (our daughter in Year 9) has moved up almost 50 marks in Maths and has gone from being a C student to an A student.  She received 92% for her yearly exams. We are also very happy with our two sons' improvements as well.

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 Hornsby Shire Library & Information Service—or at your child's school (with permission), like Normanhurst Public School.
