Ancient History Tutor Nuriootpa, SA
The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to listen to their concerns and also find the gaps in knowledge they have to be able to work with them and focus on helping to learn what they are struggling with to help them through their education. The strengths I have as a tutor are that if I do not know the answer to something, I would…

Inside PenriceTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 4 student Jai worked on skip counting by 3s and 6s using brick pavers outside to spot number patterns, then practised telling the time with an analogue clock, linking it to the 5 times tables.

In Year 8, Alyssa focused on converting fractions to decimals and percentages, including simplifying large fractions and multiplying decimals by powers of ten.

Meanwhile, Elysia (TAFE) strengthened her understanding of long division and applied it to convert fractions to decimals, as well as reviewing BODMAS for multi-step problems in her coursework.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student preparing for TAFE assessments struggled to remember multi-step processes like converting fractions to decimals after long gaps between lessons. As a tutor noted, "with a month's gap, she had forgotten parts of the process and needed a full hour to review."

For a Year 7 learner, difficulty interpreting worded Maths questions slowed progress—she underlined information but still missed what was being asked, especially in perimeter problems.

Meanwhile, in upper primary, one student hesitated to answer unless certain and sometimes guessed quickly on Prodigy rather than working through the steps. These habits led to lost confidence or repeated mistakes when facing new material.

Recent Achievements

One Penrice tutor noticed that a Year 11 student, Elysia, who previously hesitated to ask for help and often felt unsure with BODMAS and division, is now confidently talking herself through multi-step problems and creating detailed cheat sheets to guide her independent study.

In another recent session, Alyssa in Year 9 improved her accuracy by writing out every step of complex fraction conversions—after struggling before with careless errors when working mentally.

Meanwhile, Tegan in Year 6 surprised her tutor by doubling the amount of punctuation homework assigned; she identified full stops more reliably after reading her own writing aloud to catch missing pauses.

What they say about our tutoring

I consider improvements in Maths Test results as my biggest accomplishments while working for EzyMath Tutoring. Whether it be by 10, 20, or 50% improvements it is vital that students strive to a higher standard in both their effort and application to the subject. Students should have goals that are realistic of what they want to achieve in Mathematics. Small goals make a big difference in the overall success in this subject. Whether it be to get a 50% pass mark in the next Mathematics Assessment is much better than getting 43%.  I came to work for the company mainly for the tutoring experience. I have a high school teaching background so it was important for me to branch out into different areas and have a look at more 1 to 1 tutoring which can help develop further my high school teaching career. Tutoring has taught me different teaching strategies that I can implement into the classroom. The Learning Modules in particular was a great resource in reaffirming some of my initial ideas and concepts that I had with the subject. It is a great tool for both tutors and students to be able to understand the complexities in Mathematics and its differentiation from other subjects such as English, History and Science.  I would highly recommend this tutoring company to anyone willing to invest money into making improvements in Mathematics learning. The website is comprehensive and has alot of great resources for both tutors, students, and anyone interested in the subject. The worksheets are a great addition which I have found useful, and would be great use for teachers in the classroom. Overall it has been a positive experience. I believe that we can never stop learning as educators, and it is great to see good people investing alot of time and energy into making teaching and learning in Mathematics more fun, engaging, and innovative.

Being a tutor at Ezy Tutoring was a great experience. I was able to gain confidence in my ability to help students improve their skills and my ability to help them gain confidence.

Working with ezymath tutoring has made me learn a lot about management in general. The working and organizing of the entire organisation proves the efficiency of ezymath. As a tutor, everyday was a learning experience. I grew with the students in so many ways of understanding, analysing, learning and believing that each of my students could achieve their goal. Ezymath has always been a constant support. Gene especially has been very understanding during my term as a tutor. The striking quality of this organisation was the flexibility, the management never interfered in the weekly organisation of the tutorials and was completely left up to the tutor and student's availability. Ezymath also puts in great effort by monitoring the progress of not just the students but tutor's as well. Every fortnight is monitored with feedbacks and different learning modules benefiting both the tutor and student. Finally, it's a great place for tutors and students. Both their needs are catered to with much understanding. Had a great time working.

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 Nuriootpa Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Angaston Primary School.
