Ashleigh

Modern History Tutor Littlehampton, SA
I believe a tutor should foster a positive learning environment for a student, in which the student feels comfortable discussing any issues they are having with the tutor. I feel that as a tutor, your core responsibility is to place the needs of the child first, and do whatever you can to fulfill these needs, even if it does involve putting in…

Local Reviews

Hiring an EzyMaths tutor was a positive experience from the first phone call. I was immediately given a tutor and arranged my son's first session on the day and time I requested. The tutor contacted us for background information on the student and the topic. Thus, he came completely prepared for a tailored session. He also emailed some excellent online resources for my son to utilise. The session was perfect for my son, who went on to do extremely well in his subsequent exam. The tutor followed up on my son's result. I will definitely using the service again, and would recommend this provider to anyone interested in assisting their children to reach their full potential.

Inside PaechtownTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Sophie worked on equivalent fractions and simplifying them, then practiced applying her skills to worded fraction problems and money calculations in real-life scenarios.

Year 5 Annabelle completed a probability worksheet from school and learned how to create and interpret graphs from tables of data.

Sydney, also in Year 4, built confidence with multiplication and division using worksheets before moving into understanding fraction equivalence and placing fractions accurately on a number line.

Recent Challenges

In Year 7 mathematics, one student repeatedly rushed through multi-step questions, leading to overlooked details—"she kept skipping parts of the problem and missed key numbers," a tutor observed. This meant extra time was spent correcting errors instead of practicing new skills.

In Year 10, another student hesitated to start graphing tasks due to feeling overwhelmed by the amount of information; she sometimes gave up before attempting an answer.

During senior revision sessions, there were instances where homework was left incomplete because fatigue or low motivation set in after a long school day, which limited exposure to challenging problems and slowed confidence-building.

Recent Achievements

In a Paechtown tutoring session, one high school student, Jay, shifted from hesitating over mistakes to actively spotting and correcting them on his own—he now recognises when an answer doesn't match expectations and tries new strategies instead of getting stuck.

Another high schooler, Sydney, moved from needing lots of guidance with fractions to working through most textbook questions independently and even tackled harder multiplication like 14 x 52 after gaining confidence mid-lesson.

In Year 4, Annabelle recently showed a new willingness to approach tricky problem-solving tasks by breaking them down herself rather than waiting for prompts.

What they say about our tutoring

quote

Gagan is a wonderful tutor and I would be very happy with her coming back next year.

Both Natalia and Kiara are very happy with Abigail and things are starting off really great.

Mina is a very helpful teacher who has allowed me to regain confidence. There are times when I do get stuck on some topics, but Mina will know when I need help and she will focus on that topic a bit more. She gives me a wide range of different questions which prepare me for my tests. Her work ethic is an extra bonus which allows me to feel more motivated about maths and makes me feel more confident in harder areas. I recommend Mina to anyone who is looking for a kind and positive teacher who builds up confidence and knowledge. Mina is a hard worker and doesn't put her students down and encourages them even when they aren't understanding the topic.

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 Mount Barker Community Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Michael's Lutheran School, Hahndorf Inc.
