Tutors in Norwest 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.
Personally, I recognize that there are many responsibilities that a diligent tutor must fulfill, these include:
- patience (no matter how many times a student doesn't understand a concept, a tutor should be patient and keep trying)
- A supportive environment (students shouldn't feel judged and should have the confidence to openly ask…
My role as a tutor is not to manufacture a result, it is only to facilitate the student's journey in learning. This is why the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is guide them through their own journey, being present with them in times of difficulty to instruct and clarify questions they need answered most. This extends beyond just…
I believe purposeful tutoring stems from communication and collaboration which my previous roles as a piano concert host and part time pre uni marker have highlighted as significant.

The most important thing a tutor can do is inspire confidence. Within the class, it is a safe space for the student to talk about their short comings or lack of understanding. It is then the tutors job to help the student and breed confidence. This then extends out of the class and into the exam hall. My biggest strength is empathy and being able…
My most important skill as a tutor is being able to actively listen and answer the potentially inexhaustible questions a student may have so as to sufficiently develop their understanding of the subject matter.

Tutors are essential for students who might have trouble learning at school, as school only showcases one method of teaching, which doesn’t work for everyone. Whereas tutors not only bring in an extra method of learning, they can also tailor their teaching to individual students, unlike in schools, where teachers have to teach classes, and…
I think a tutor must create an enjoyable and easy path of learning for the student. I offer students concise and easy-to-understand explanations that delve past basic understanding of the question, but also provide the students with the framework and thinking needed to solve similar…
I think building a students confidence is the most important part of teaching. By introducing them to methods they can use to problem solve for themselves, a whole world opens up for them. I will provide a structured approach to teaching these methods and support them as they put them into action. I am a calm and patient tutor who is passionate…
An important factor for a tutor is for them to understand that people learn at different paces.

The most important thing a tutor can do for their students, is to be their friends. It helps providing the students an environment where they can enjoy what they are studying. It helps in eliminating rote learning, which kills the entire joy and purpose of learning and education. My great knowledge and interest in subjects like Math and Physics…
For me, the most important things a tutor can do for a student include helping through their academic struggles, but in a way which is reinforcing and allows the student to fully grasp a concept and find satisfaction in it. Moreover, a tutor should not only be able to explain and break down concepts to students, but also provide exam and study…

Tutoring is very different to a typical classroom setting. Each session is unique and solely focused on the one student. This one-to-one learning experience is something many students wouldn’t normally get in a classroom. Naturally, they’ll be able to ask as many questions as they want. As a result, I’ll feel I’m making a real difference…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student is build their confidence.

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
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.
